The 1st ward is the old South End. Depending on the year and address, they would have went to St John's or St Anne's (my old parish). But since they merged into St Johns-St Anne's Parish, ifs no longer a problem. They're at 95 Fourth Ave, Albany, 12202. Dont think baptismal certificates have places of origin, but naturalizations at Hall of Records may. Its on Tivoli St, Albany. What's the name you're working on?
