The TIGS meeting this month will consist of a tour of Old Mt. Ida Cemetery, the Mt. Ida Preservation Hall and the former Farnham Institute. Thursday October 18th 5:45 PM We will meet at 5:45 at the Old Mt. Ida Cemetery, you can pull right into the cemetery and park along the roadways. Weather permitting, we will take a tour of the cemetery. We will then walk from the cemetery to the Mt. Ida Preservation Hall (Church of the Ascension). There we will have a talk on the building and the stain glassed windows. The owner of the former Farnham Institute (formerly a school connected to the Church of the Ascension) has invited us into the building which is located directly across the street from the Hall. The building has been converted into a private residence. The first floor retains its original floor plan and is used as an art space. The walk from the cemetery to the Hall is a short distance but there is major construction all along the way. with little if any sidewalk. There is no closer parking available because of the construction. Brant Caird and/or Ned Pratt will be hosting us. We should meet promptly at 6:45 as it gets dark early, hopefully it will not be raining. I assume if it is raining we will meet and walk directly to the Hall, everyone should be prepared to walk just short of a typical city block. Please respond if you plan on attending so that we can get an idea of attendance. Kristin Cooney-Ayotte Like

Please check out the wonderful work the Mt. Ida Preservation Hall group is doing to preserve the history of this wonderful building. The Church of the Ascension played a role in the lives of many Trojans, our ancestors included. Old Mt. Ida and New Mt. Ida Cemeteries contain the remains of many of Troy's "Famous" folks as well as the ordinary, including families of TIGS members. These folks give tirelessly to maintain and restore Old Mt. Ida and should be applauded. Please check out their website, which includes a page where you can make a donation through PayPal to help in their efforts. Since this months meeting will not entail paying for dinner, I am encouraging those that attend to make a personal donation that night and TIGS should consider a donation to help in their efforts. http://www.mountidapreservationhall.org [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Kris6851 <[email protected]> To: ny-troy-irish-gensoc <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Oct 10, 2012 11:29 pm Subject: Re: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] TIGS October Meeting; Tour of Old Mt.

Good Morning TIGS List Members: If you are interested in reading about the Church of the Ascension that is mentioned by Kris in her email about the TIGS monthly meeting, go to the TIGS website www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ click on PROJECTS and then click on CHURCH MEMORIALS AND FAMILY NAMES. The Church of the Ascension is one of the 17 churches covered in this TIGS data base. Regards, Bill

I plan on attending. See you at 5:45. I assume the 6:45 time mentioned later in the e-mail is an error?

I will NOT be able to attend the TIGS mtg as I will be at the Lansingburgh Historical Society Benefit, same night same hours. If a decision is made on a date for our Genealogy Lookup Day, please let me know. I am willing to bring my laptop and do lookups thru my Ancestry account. Also Kris, I have the Victorian Stroll marked, to be in costume for TIGS at RCHS. Can decide time later.
