Hello all Albany listers, I am new to this board, but belong to others, this is the first board to notify me of a post by a nonlister to the Rootsweb.com board (or Ancestry.com board, both the same) regarding an Albany county query or information, so only having dealt with the one spam e-mail, I vote KEEP the gateway to the boards and I will DELETE the nongenealogical fraud posters. BTW-I am researching VanDenburgh's, Worden's, Bramhall's in Cohoes, Albany and Brown's, Christian's, Lockwood and Hotchkiss in Cayuga, Herkimer & Oneida, NY counties. For some who MAY not be aware there is the wonderful www.fultonhistory.com site which offers newspaper articles from NY newspapers & with a very simple search engine you can view the newspaper on Adobe. I found a Jonathan Brown's court case from 1821 in a Cayuga County news article and the Van Denburgh, Bramhall obits from 1931-1990's online at this site, plus newsy old time articles of piano recitals, visits with their family and friends, etc, very informational articles.. Love reading about the past lives of our ancestors and seeing the old classifieds and ads!.
