The John Dunbar born 24 August 1895 and died Feb 1969 (SS Death Record) was born in Kingston, Ulster County, New York. I verified this with his WW1 Draft Registration. I don't think there is any connection to Pennsylvania. Sorry Do you have any other infomation on the John Dunbar you are looking for. Maybe I can find someting else.

I looked at a will, you will first have to go through court house screening, go into the basement office, look through large volumes of index books, and someone will bring you the file. It was my second visit in ten years, they have a new building and the records can be retrieved faster than before. At my first visit over ten years ago, in the old courthouse, I wanted to make a copy and was told they would make a copies for me but had to charge a standard fee of $5.00 per page, even if I did not want an "official" copy. So on my last trip I did not ask for any copies, since it would have run into hundreds of dollars. If someone out there knows if the price has been reduced please chime in. I am not sure if they permit you photograph the wills either. I was in Warren County years ago, and the office charged me 25 cents and was very helpful. Albany is a bit busier. Bring plenty of quarters for the parking meters. Don Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

That isn't the John I was expecting to find, but it sounds like his cousin, who is also in my family. Kingston, PA is across the river from Wilkes-Barre, PA, so that is the same area. Yes, please post, or send to kbhoy@comcast.net How did you find it? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am sure then that you are aware of the official Vatican decree forbidding Mormon transcription of Catholic records. If not.

Looking for a Joseph Fagnant or Fanyou. It's a long story as to the entirely different last names. He and his family were in the Albany area for the 1830s and 1840s before moving to Hartford, CT. Ed Hagerty Monroe, CT

It is interesting from one Diocese to another how things vary. Check out our Wilmington Irish web site at www.lalley.com. We have transcribed all pre 1900 catholic church records for the Diocese of Delaware. Our Archivist Donn Devine is a great supporter. regards Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: <Johnntravis@aol.com> To: <nyalbany@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [NYALBANY] St Joseph Church lookup You are correct.

Hi There are no Catholic records in the Albany Diocese on line, so h you been misinformed. St joseph records are at Sacred Heart of jesus on Albany NY **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Try this. _http://www.rcda.org/_ (http://www.rcda.org/) The Diocese of Albany may have the Records you are seeking. In any case, they should be able to assist you. Most Catholic records are on=line however. Nor are they in the Latter-Day Saints records. We Catholics suffer from the irrational fear that someone will try to convert our ancestors posthumously.
