Stan, I'll be happy to inquire. I do recall that a few years ago when I was able to be more active in TIGS, a Canadian publisher arranged for the copying/transcribing of some records which were to be published and made available to TIGS. I don't know if that project was ever completed. Bill McGrath may have some information on that or our own meeting minutes may show something. I have been inactive for several years due to conflicting schedules. I still read all the posts and I am happy to help out when I can.

Last I was told at the parish office (several years ago), the diocese had sealed the baptismal-marriage records due to deterioration. Hoping that has changed. Cemetery plot owner records and interment records are also an interest. Would be much obliged. - Stan Broderick Derby, NY -------------------------------------------------- From: "Ed Dyer" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 28, 2012 9:58 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] St Joseph's Academy > I don't know, but I would be happy to go to the rectory on Wednesday to > see where the school records were sent when the school closed.

Good Morning Ed: Nice to hear from you and hope to see you at a future meeting. The American-Canadian group photocopied all the marriage and baptism records for St. Joseph's in Troy several years ago. They also copied records from the closed churches of St. Lawrence's (German Parish) and Holy Trinity (Polish Parish) which are housed at St. Joseph's. Transcribing of the data is done in New Hampshire and then is subject to two different proof readings. However, according to Kay Brearton, one of the volunteers working on St. Joseph's records, "a major player in New Hampshire passed away not too long ago and they are in a transitional phase so at this point we don't know when St. Joseph's records will be completed and sent to the printers." It is TIGS intention to purchase a set of the books and donate them to the Troy Library once they are published. Regards, Bill > Stan, I'll be happy to inquire.
