Hi Listers, If you haven't seen the movie 'Wind That Shakes The Barley', it is on youtube in 13-10 minute segments. The opening scene is quite disturbing where an Irish youth is killed because he would not say his name in English. It is amazing what you can find in youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jphOMU73fs Lizette

How good to have a query about NYS Dept of Health vital records indexes!  It shows that new people are being bitten by the genealogy bug, and every person's knowledge adds a piece to the puzzle.

They have records of deaths, births and marriages from about 1880 through about 1954 or so. For all of NY State you can look up each name by year and find out by alphabetic index dates and Certificate numbers for any name you want. While I didn't find every name I searched it probably covered 90 % of the names I sought. I may have missed some or moved the microfiche too quickly to see some. You will need to know the full name and a range of years you think the event occurred. You should have a specific list of people you want to research or you will be overwhelmed with the data and may be ineffeicient looking if you have too big a list. They also have all kinds of details about ! NY State Census records (taken in 1825 and every 10 years thereafter. They also have directories of various cities though I found more complete records for Troy, Waterford, Watervliet, etc in the Troy Library. Also, in the Troy Library they have newspapers from the early 1800's through recent years to search for obituaries, death notices, marriages, etc. they are very helpful and have a specific room set up for genealogy reasearch. A lot of the data for Troy has been collected and available at the TIGS site and Pat Conners. In the library there are many others sources you can use. You can get much info from these sites and several of the people that run and support the TIGS projects. You can get help from many of the Churches and City Halls. There is a charge of $ 22.00 per official record you request and for key ancestors this is critical. For many events you may be able to get info by various means from these same sources as sometimes one clerk may provide info you need without any formal request. It varies and depends how much data you are looking for. I've been very pleased with all the official documents I got but must note much data was provided by telephone or personal requests. I recently got information on one set of my great grandparents by asking for info on the marriage of these grandparents by knowing the exact date of marriage and place. On the marriage record it listed the maiden name of this one great grandmother which I had not known. I got this info after I said I was after the info for tracing my ancestors but did not need a formal document. They let me look at the official marraige documents index and allowed me to copy the ne! eded info.

Hi, Can you explain what the "indexes"are? How can they help me locate vital records? Are they online anywhere since I am out of state? I am fairly new to geneaology, but I have heard about researching indexes twice this week for clues to my family(Tracy/Ditmyer) who have been very elusive. There just doesn't seem to be any solid documentation on the family members and I cannot afford to keep sending away for records only to get a reply indicating nothing was found. Also, does an index in NYS Archives in Albany list vital records for Troy and Watervleit/Green Island or would I need to look elsewhere?

If you go to the 7th floor at the State Library they have desks and a section where there are people who will help you look up stuff. I had a gentleman walk me to the section and show me the books I was looking for. Then on the 11th floor they have microfilm where you can request information on microfilm. Copy machines are attached to the microfilm machines and it is 10 cents a copy and they do not charge for bad copies. They are very helpfull also. You do have to leave any bags in a locker you can bring in a pen and pad to copy information. Parking is difficult. The lot is full on weekdays and free on weekends. If you get there early you might be able to get in the lot ...there is a charge. I never park there except on weekends. I usually park on a side street and lock my doors. I have no problem walking but if you do you might want to park in a lot. Don't forget to look out of the windows some of the views are quite nice.

Hi Austen; Your say your families moved to PA from Troy in the 1870s. My great grandparents may have done this also since two of their children were born in PA in 1878 and 1879, but were on the 1880 Troy census. Did your people go for jobs? What city did they go to? It may give me a clue which I have run out of. I have searched the census with every spelling of McCochrane and cannot find them in PA.
