Thanks Brad - I thought perhaps it was a Dues reminder. Such a fantastic organization with a great mission, $10 per year (80 cents a month) is the best deal in town. How much more scanning, transcribing, sharing could we do if every single List Subscriber and Facebook Liker pitched in ten bucks a year! In my months away, I've been remiss. Besides handing in a check at the next meeting, what's the best way to "pay our dues"?

Hello, TIGS Friends, A tip for you: Within the next few weeks, theCork University Press in Ireland will publish a new and important work titled The Atlas of the Great Irish Famine,featuring essays by many important Irish historians including New York Statemuseum archeologist Charles Orser, who presents his work in Ballykilcline,County Roscommon, as a case study in the new book. Here is a link to apublisher’s blurb about the book, which features its Table of Contents: http://corkuniversitypress.typepad.com/cork_university_press/2011/02/cork-university-press-signs-contract-for-book-on-the-great-irish-famine-.html No matter where your Irish family came from in the Old Country, this book likely will have something for you because of the breadth of its coverage of and perspectives on the Famine and its issues. The book is not inexpensive but perhaps TIGS would buy a copy for members to consult or borrow. It is listed on Amazon for pre-ordering. Best Wishes, Mary Lee Dunn Member, TIGS and the Ballykilcline Society

Hi Everybody, I'm pretty certain that at our June meeting we decided: *July 19* at Moscatiello's - 6:30 *August 16* at Oakwood Cemetery with cemetery tour at 6pm ending with Gardner Earl Chapel tour* & then meeting est 7:30. *Please note this will NOT be a dinner meeting. Hope to see you there anyway! Thanks Heidi Klinowski

A. St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Watervliet, which permanently closed on September 25, 2011, has just been added to the Church Memorials And Family Names Series on the Troy Irish Genealogy Website. Thanks to TIGS volunteers Stanton M. Broderick and Michael McAlonie who obtained the information for this data base. B. To see 7 photographs of this church along with a short history of the church and an alphabetical listing of the 286 memorial names found in the church, go to the website of the Troy Irish Genealogy Society, address: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ click on PROJECTS and then click on CHURCH MEMORIALS AND FAMILY NAMES. C. In addition St. Patrick's, Watervliet, this data series covers the following 15 closed and still open area churches: Church of the Ascension, Troy - Closed Christ Church United Methodist, Troy - Open Cornerstone Community Church, Lansingburgh - Open First United Presbyterian Church, Troy - Open Julia Howard Bush Memorial Center (formerly the 1st Presbyterian Church) Oakwood Presbyterian, Troy - Closed St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, Troy - Closed St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Green Island - Closed St. Lawrence Catholic Church, Troy - Closed St. Mary's Catholic Church, Troy - Closed St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Troy - Closed St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Troy - Open St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, Troy - Closed St. Peter's Catholic Church, Troy - Closed St. William's Catholic Church, Troy - Closed D. While the stained glass windows in many of these closed churches have already been sold and removed, at least the family names that were memorialized on those windows and on other areas in the closed churches have been recorded on this TIGS data series. E. Other Churches coming soon to the TIGS website are St. John's Episcopal Church in Troy and Historic St. Mary's Catholic Church in Albany. F. The introduction to this data series has also been updated to show that the idea behind the data base came about while reading the inscriptions and family names on the stained glass windows during a 2007 visit to St. Mary’s Church in Ridgefield, Connecticut. I knew there were plans to close a number of Catholic Churches in Troy and that the record of all those family names on similar windows in the soon to be closed Troy churches would be lost. A posting on the TIGS mailing list on July 7, 2008 discussed the idea of capturing family and individual names from the various memorials in the local churches and putting then in a data base on the TIGS website. As the response to the posting was quite positive, it was decided at the July 2007 TIGS meeting that we would go ahead with this Church Memorial project. Regards, Bill McGrath TIGS Project Coordinator Clifton Park, NY

I'm interested in Mt. Ida, thanks! Gail Landrigan

Kris - Thanks for arranging this! I like the idea of regular/occasional tour meetings. I'm very sorry that I missed the St Agnes visit - but I had family from out-of-state visiting. Let me also plug the upcoming Waterford Heritage/Cultural Festival on Saturday, Aug 4. Info about the event is here: http://waterfordmuseumblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/waterford-cultural-festival.html TIGS is welcome to participate - there will be a cultural table to be shared among several groups so TIGS would only need to have some limited volunteer staffing.

Our visit to St. Agnes was wonderful. Our next meeting is at Moscatellos and then September will be a tour of Oakwood Cemetery and Chapel. Exciting things. SO I am in contact with Mt. Ida Preservation Group and they have agreed to a tour for our October meeting. That is, if the rest of the group is interested... Kris
