Steve - I recall you mentioned the First Presbyterian Church, West Troy/Watervliet (which as you surmised is the same place, or could be depending on the dates - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watervliet,_New_York for more info about that history). You might want to check with the Albany Presbytery (or the church in Watervliet directly). Here's the link to phone numbers: http://www.albanypresbytery.org/Presbytery%20Info/AlbanyChurches.htm Good luck Chris > John/Doug, > > Thank you for your input.? > > The family was Presbyterian and remained so (to the best of my knowledge) until 1913. > > Steve > > -----Original Message----- > From: groner2413@aol.com > To: nyalbany@rootsweb.com > Sent: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 7:18 am > Subject: Re: [NYALBANY] Waterman Brick Wall Still Standing > > > > You might try the Mormon Church(Latter Day Saints) for church records,they have > microfilmed church records from around the world.Check with them for a Family > History Center near you.You will find them very helpful. > Doug Groner > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Johnntravis@aol.com > To: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com; NYALBANY-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 9:43 pm > Subject: Re: [NYALBANY] Waterman Brick Wall Still Standing > > > > 1) ACHOR is primarily a government archive and, as such, does not have > church records.
