Newton, b. 1919 in TX, d. Oct 1974 in Albany, NY (according to SSDI). He lived in Fort Worth, Texas during much of his early life. I have his early census information, know his parents (my great-grandparents) and his WWII Army enlistment records. If memory serves, he was a preacher serving in the Albany area at the time of his death (or perhaps he retired from preaching in the area). Any information would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I would join a mailing list I'm on www.sggee.org. It's is the Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe. The list is very knowledgeable and they have their own extensive database. Much of Prussia is now in Poland. The best other place for records is the Mormon church microfilms http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp .

For many years I have researched the history and genealogy of Berne and other families from the Albany County hilltowns on the Internet. I also use a number of books written by fellow researchers. - The Wright Families of Berne, New York, by Douglas Wright Cruger was privately printed in October 2003; 326 pages. This an extremely well documented book on all of the Wrights of Berne and nearby towns. Doug has a few books left. He can be contacted at dcruger@maine.rr.com - Haverlys of the Helderbergs, and there many descendants, by Estella Haverly Roth and Ramona Machester Tryon. I think the first edition was 1994 and was published by the Haverly Family Association. There was an update in 1995 and 2004. For more information contact: Allene Slater baslater@nycap.rr.com or Ramona Tryon, 108 State Route 146, Schoharie, NY 12157-4215 - There is a series of four books of old photographs of Berne and Berne families including many reminisces edited by Willard Osterhout, sponsored by The Warner's Lake Improvement Association. * Life at the Lake, Warner's Lake, N.Y. published 2004 * Life Along the Way, Traveling N. Y. 43 Warner's Lake and Beyond, 2006 * The Journey continues...Life Along the Way, 2007 * The Final Journey, 2008*, *includes photos and stories about Camp Pinnacle, Camp Woodstock and Camp Orinsekwa Contact Willard at 518-872-1606, or by email to purchase any of the books. willandjerri1@msn.com - Indian Ladder, A History of Life in the Helderbergs, by Gary L. Donhardt, 2001, is an excellent history of Berne. It includes much information on the following families: Thompson, Winne, Secor, Hart, Schermerhorn, Ketcham, Van Wormer, Smith, and Van Zandt.

This is not a wise thing to do, you are setting yourself up for email harvesters. For those of you who get lots of spam and put your email address in your message board posts - this is why.

Connecticut Ancestry Society, Inc. Fall Program Fairfield County Loyalist Documents and Ghostly Encounters with Paul J. Bunnell, UE Sunday, October 26, 2008 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the New Cannan Historical Society 13 Oenoke Ridge, New Canaan, CT The Revolutionary War was the first Civil War in this region, pitting brother against brother, and father against son. Paul began his own genealogy not expecting it would lead him to a soldier in the company of Benedict Arnold. He has since become a leading expert in the field of Loyalist studies and is the founder and editor of the “Loyalist Quarterly”, the only U.S. Loyalist newsletter devoted to that history. This lecture is centered around the Loyalist ship, Union, and its passengers, many from Fairfield County who fled from New York City in 1783 for Saint John, Nova Scotia (New Brunswick) and their settlement at Kingston, New Brunswick. Paul will also discuss other families from the area and the type of documents you will find during research. His encounter with his Loyalist ancestors ghost in 1985 and the documents, photos and physic experiences that followed will shock you in what some research can uncover. Admission is free. However, please RSVP to Connecticut Ancestry Society with the number of attendees at (203) 778-4794 or via rlocke@ralii.com to ensure available seating. More information about Connecticut Ancestry Society can be found on our website: www.connecticutancestry.org.
