Michael - What information are you seeking? A coroner's report will report the facts and cause of a death, nothing of genealogical value; ie., family data, except for the cause of death. I received a coroner's report from the City of New York when my wife's father was found dead in his hotel room back in the 1970's. All I learned of more interest was that his body was unclaimed and it was interred in Potter's Field on Hart Island in New York City. BTW, we never retrieved the body for other personal family reasons. He died of natural causes - a heart attack. He had abandoned his family back in the 1950's. The medical cause of death is important as all of us need to prepare a medical family history as far back as possible on direct lines on both the maternal and paternal side and provide it to your primary care physcian in order for them to know and understand how to test and treat you when new issues with your health arise.

I got one a couple of years ago from San Francisco. The death was 1972. The information was great and lots of it. I also got a coroner's report from Illinois from 1814. Not much there, but the probate records and judges paperwork were full of good stuff.

Have her in Albany/West Troy area at marriage Sept 1841 at St. John's to Patrick (Rein) Wren but nothing before that. She was the mother of Minnie Shaaf, wife of William L. Shaaf, but little before her marriage. She lived in Sand Lake at time of 1860 census. Anyone having info connecting to her, I would welcome communication.

Michael, Some time ago I looked into how to find coroners' reports from years past. I recall even calling the Police Chief's office for the City of Troy. I was told that any coroner's inquest records were the property of the individual who held that position at the time. The records were "probably stored in a garage somewhere" during the tenure of the person. There was no continuity or transfer of the records when a new coroner took over. At some point that probably changed, of course, but any coroner records from the late 1800's or early 1900's likely no longer exist. If anyone has had a different experience with coroners' records, I would love to know about it.

Hi Michael. Some years ago I received a coroner's report for my maternal g.father. He was killed in an accident in Chicago (Cook County) in 1895. Illinois has excellent on-line resources, and I was able to enter his name and get the case number, etc. Then all I had to do was send for the report. There was no charge for this, as the work is done through the Illinois Regional Archives Depository (IRAD). I think there would be a fee if the copying involved many, many pages. Mine was only two pages. I don't know if NY has anything like this, but you could start by googling the NY State Archives (if it's in NY that you're looking) to see what they have. Someone with more NY research experience will probably be able to give you more help.

I have been contacted back by three different people who are peripherally connected to these long lost AU Bolands. One recommended a very useful link ... http://trove.nla.gov.au/ to do some further research. It was great. Would highly recommend it for searching for people in AU in digitized newspapers, even pre 1850s, to mid 1900s. Books, all sorts of stuff digitized and indexed. In less than 5 minutes I had found a missing friend / family ad by Patrick Boland formerly of Ballymore Westmeath looking for his brother John Boland, ( a brother which I had found a baptism for in Ballymore but had no idea what had happened to), with a location in Victoria. Then I sadly found Patrick's obituary' listed as the brother of John in 1861. I then checked ancestry.com and there was a Patrick died 1861 in Victoria AU with Parents Patrick and Catherine Boland, with no maiden name given. Now, to locate brother Thomas!! And the parents?? Incidentally, I did not find any evidence so far that the 1866 missing family ad placed by Lawrence Boland in Troy NY was ever in fact 'copied' by Melbourne newpapers. Sad, brothers who actually want to speak never getting to get back in touch. I guess that was par for the diaspora. when it rains it pours. best, Michael ps you locals... where is Dickie Boland, now he has some new cousins to go visit!! pps unfortunately, no relations to Russel Crowe... > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2012 08:39:03 -0400 > Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] [TIGS] BOLAND - Irish Relatives and Friends 1850-1871 > > > Hi TIGS and Kris! > For some reason last night I got curious again about the John Boland mentioned below in the missing friends ad that Kris Cooney had so kindly looked up for me. Years back I had poked around on ancestry.com and there were sparse records for AU so I just gave up and accepted that I would probably never find a breadcrumb that would lead me to this brother of my GGgrandfather Lawrence Boland who migrated to Melbourne. But as it turns out Ancestry must have added quite a few more sources for Australia. I ended up finding an indexed death record that was the correct name, approximate age to be a brother, and with both correct parents names. I was also able to use index parameters to find a short list of marriages and births (of John Boland children) that could be for the correct John Boland, and some turned out to be for the right person. Then I located 2 trees that had been posted since I last looked with the name John Boland 1831-1880 and the one listed him from Ballymo! > re, Westmeath and with the same parents (with matching maiden name) as my Lawrence Boland. I was pretty glad to find that, haven't had that little genealogy discovery 'rush' in a while. I contacted the 2 people who posted the trees and one responded quickly, so far. > > John Boland married a Catherine Cooney (born Jan 1833 in Galway, Ireland) in Victoria AU in 1861. What is even more interesting is that their daughter Catherine Boland, married an Edmund Crowe, who was born in Emly, Tipperary in 1850. The woman in AU who emailed me also said that much of the Crowe family from Emly , emigrated to Troy, NY.... > > Edmund Crowes parents were Patrick Crowe born 22 MAY 1815 in Breansha, Emly, Tipperary, Ireland.

To rent to someone,is foreign territory to me...our clothes are all still there in closets,and in dressers.I do not know if you have to go through the association in some way to get permission.I know that you used to. So,for now ,the answer,is "No",and we might lose an opportunity,but I guess what I am saying is,it is all open at this point.Perhaps,if we go down this year,I will ship clothes home,and leave it in such a way,that if we have to rent the next year we could.Frankly,and at this point,I would rather come down and rent a little closer to the beach for a couple of months,but all of that needs research. I do not think that Dave did have his hip done,but do not really remember her saying that. He could have,and I just wasn't listening. ` Sorry to hear about your sister.....as we grow older,maintenance gets tougher and tougher. Time to go,Vince is up,and staggering around. Enjoy that pool!It will be the first thing that I hit when I get down there.

Odd day here,and on a Saturday afternoon,I have nothing else to do than go on the computer. Vince is behaving "off" today. He slept the whole morning till I finally awakened him at twelve. At first,I treated that time as a luxury,since I am usually busy with him first thing in the morning. So,off I went to the end of the driveway in my robe to fetch the paper.Returning,I settled down in my wicker rocker on the front porch with my morning orange juice and paper. Our neighbor,Barb Van Zetten was out for her morning walk,spotted me and joined me. Lovely Saturday morning here,breezy,sunny,Fall!!!!Now,once again,he has been asleep for literally hours. Weird,scary. You had not told me that Bill was having that heart procedure done.I do hope that by the time you get this,it is over and he is just fine. My older brother,Steve,had a quadruple bypass two weeks ago.He is home,and visibly weakened by the procedure,but is rallying. As for Madeline looking to rent,I do not know what to tell you.

Mike, coincidence or what!! I did the look up for you, my maiden name is Cooney. Then you find John and he was married to a Catherine Cooney.....now if I could only connect your Catherine to my Cooneys!! Kris [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: M McAlonie <[email protected]> To: NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC-L <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Sep 7, 2012 8:39 am Subject: RE: [TIGS] BOLAND - Irish Relatives and Friends 1850-1871 Hi TIGS and Kris! For some reason last night I got curious again about the John Boland mentioned below in the missing friends ad that Kris Cooney had so kindly looked up for me. Years back I had poked around on ancestry.com and there were sparse records for AU so I just gave up and accepted that I would probably never find a breadcrumb that would lead me to this brother of my GGgrandfather Lawrence Boland who migrated to Melbourne. But as it turns out Ancestry must have added quite a few more sources for Australia. I ended up finding an indexed death record that was the correct name, approximate age to be a brother, and with both correct parents names. I was also able to use index parameters to find a short list of marriages and births (of John Boland children) that could be for the correct John Boland, and some turned out to be for the right person. Then I located 2 trees that had been posted since I last looked with the name John Boland 1831-1880 and the one listed him from Ballymore, Westmeath and with the same parents (with matching maiden name) as my Lawrence Boland. I was pretty glad to find that, haven't had that little genealogy discovery 'rush' in a while. I contacted the 2 people who posted the trees and one responded quickly, so far. John Boland married a Catherine Cooney (born Jan 1833 in Galway, Ireland) in Victoria AU in 1861. What is even more interesting is that their daughter Catherine Boland, married an Edmund Crowe, who was born in Emly, Tipperary in 1850. The woman in AU who emailed me also said that much of the Crowe family from Emly , emigrated to Troy, NY.... Edmund Crowes parents were Patrick Crowe born 22 MAY 1815 in Breansha, Emly, Tipperary, Ireland. Mother was Eleanor Hanley born 17 DEC 1820 in Lisobyhane, Emly, Tipperary, Ireland. Just wondering if Crowe is an interest of any of the TIGS members?? Never say never. -Michael > From: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 21:23:25 -0500 > Subject: Re: [TIGS] BOLAND - Irish Relatives and Friends 1850-1871 > To: [email protected] > > Hope this is yours Mike......Nothing on Bernard.....Kristin > > Of JOHN BOLAND, formerly of BALLYMORE, County WESTMEATH, Ireland.

Good point, Lynne. I just made a donation. I had never seen that donation button before. BTW: I cannot find the Albany Co. information that Pat mentioned. What am I missing?

Reverend Patrick Crowe was the pastor of St. Francis deSales Church on Congress Street in Troy in the thirties and early forties. I grew up living next to the rectory and knew Father Crowe I don't know any of his background . St. Francis is now closed but the records are at Our Lady of Victory Church in Troy. If you could get the date of his death, a death certificate might give your his parents' name. Good luck.
