I have just added another 500 Albany County naturalizations records for the Irish born covering Apr 10, 1843 to Oct 30, 1844. I only transcribed the records that show the county of birth in Ireland. You will find entries like 'Tipperary' and 'Co Tipperary'. That is because different clerks wrote it differently and I transcribed it exactly except for County Meath which many times said 'Mead' which is how one pronounces it. Also, for Londonderry County, King County and Queens County I transcribed as Counties Derry, Offaly and Laois which are the recognized names today. I have this film on long term and hope to transcribe it all for the Irish born, much like I did for Rensselaer County which can be found on the Troy section of my website. Why am I doing Albany Co, because my McEntees lived in Watervliet (West Troy) before moving across the river to Troy. I didn't find their naturalization records in Rensselaer records and I don't know why it didn't dawn on me sooner to check out Albany country records! You can find the new records on the Albany County section of my website. On the main page at the top there are drop down menus. Just run your mouse over New York State and a list will drop down, click on Albany County. As a side note, if you are research ancestors born in England or Germany, they also mention the counties where they were born. Since I only have Irish born from Albany/Rensselaer Counties, I only transcribed for the Irish naturalizations. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

I would like to remind everyone that Pat Connors has a button near the end of her site for making a donation. She has contributed so much to the genealogy community and the films she transcribes cost money to rent. Anyone who has used them knows how difficult most of the records are to read and of course transcribe. Where would most of us be without Pat's efforts? Lynne Sisk
