wow did this hit home. my GG GMother's first husband drowned in the river behind their home in Cohoes, you tell me its either Hudson or Mohawk? I know they lived near Saratoga and Columbia Streets, and at some point on Reservoir street. (? which came first?) If anyone is going back to the Albany County Hall of Records, William Sullivan drowned cir. 1843, leaving his 18 year old wife, Ellen, pregnant, the baby born was Mary Sullivan. Wm's cousin, Cornelius McCarthy, came from Ireland and married Ellen, Mary Sullivan in later census' was called Mary McCarthy I did find an immigration record for Wm Sullivan declared 1843. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Cc: "Donald Cosgro" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 10:41:57 PM Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Coroner Inquest I have looked through these records as well, at the Albany Hall of Records.

Thanks all for the responses. I'm not looking so much for any medical info, because the basics are in the death cert usually, though as one said it is useful to know what did in your ancestors. But more the circumstances of the death. Does post mortem examination mean autopsy by a coroner? I am guessing it does. There was a brief snippet in the Troy paper in 1879 that read Dr. RH Sabin made a post mortem examination of the body of Mr Robert McALvine (obviously a misspelling, it is the right guy) Saturday afternoon , which showed that the deceased came to his death by... It then also announces the illlness of his wife who died 3 days later leaving my great grandfather and his three siblings orphaned. Great to know about the details of the inquests in Albany County. This one and one other were in Albany Co, and another I am interested in obtaining is in Washington Co. Were the census mortality schedules put together from physician affidavits or from coroner records?

>From Dolores Desch, Ladies AOH: There are still seats left for the ELLIS ISLAND trip on Saturday September 29th. Come and enjoy a fun day with the Albany AOH and LAOH. All are welcome. For more information check the recently posted flyer. I posted on TIGS Facebook page - it's on their Facebook page but not Website it seems. As of last night, there were up to twenty seats left for the bus. They'd love for TIGS people to come, people should let her know soon so she can arrange Ellis Island tickets. Gerri Sherry

Michael Yes, I have seen a coroner inquest, at the Albany County Hall of Records from 1875. A couple of years ago, I finally discovered the circumstances of my my GG grandfather who drowned in the Hudson river in June 1875, after falling from the bridge between Troy and Watervliet (West Troy at the time) and from the newspaper account of the event, there was a race between two coroners, one from Green Island and the other from Cohoes, when the body was recovered. The coroner from Cohoes won. Lucky for me the coroner was from an Albany county town, and not the other side of the river in Rensselaer. I made a phone call and learned that Albany county hall of records has tin boxes of coroner inquests from the 1800's. Some are in fragile condition as they haven't seen the light of day in quite sometime. From what I understand they are not indexed, so you must sort through various tins containing the old reports. I was helped by a very friendly staff member and we sorted through several old tin containers one by one until we came across the one I was looking for. In the process, we came across some very sad John Doe type cases of people dying under mysterious circumstances, where no name could be obtained. Lucky for me, the inquest papers and summons papers, about my GG grandfather were in good enough condition for photocopies to be made. I discovered names of people who were friends, family, and at least one tavern owner, very interesting to say the least. and it really gives you a personal sense of going back in time. I now have a copy of my great grandfather signature, as he was called as a witness to the inquest. No stenographer, no typewritten testimony, ( at least in this inquest). So just reading the handwriting can be challenging. So yes, in my particular case, I learned a lot. It gave me names of people I believe to be relatives of my gg grandfather, though I can't figure out how. I can't say what other jurisdictions do with these reports. I am grateful that Albany County Hall of Records did a great job in preserving them and making them available even after over 135 years have passed. Someone in the Albany county government deserves a lot of credit, if these records could have been disposed of long ago, and they chose to keep them. Don

There also a good new book on the Famine by John Kelly called The Graves Are Walking. It's substantially less expensive than the 75 dollar price tag for The Atlas. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marianne Arnold Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 3:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Irish Times reviews big new Famine book Thanks Mary Lee for the heads up on this.
