MY friend called up Greenwood early this week. They said the they are having problems with the new domain. They anticipate burial searches will be available in a few days. Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, which for years has had a web page for burial searches, has reorganized itself and its website. I can no longer find a way to search for indvidual burials. Can anyone help me?

Hi Loreen, I am happy to hear that you received the certificate you were looking for. I glad you will still have a use for the information I sent. I hope you have a happy and fruitful new year. Bobbi

Hi Loreen, I was just going through my e-mails and realized that I never answered you. I'm sorry. What you do is to fill out the request form as if you were requesting the actual certificate. The film number is the one that the index for that year and place would be on. You fill in the name, date, location etc. They look for the index listing, make a copy and send it to you.

Hi Bobbi - I am happy to hear from you again. This is excellent information. Don't worry about not getting back very soon. I have lost track of messages like that too. I did get the record that email was about. I had a bunch of back and forth with the Familysearch people that was completely frustrating until I realized we were on completely different pages. Once I told them this and what I really wanted, they emailed me the record no charge. I was amazed. I do have other records like this I'd like to get. Your note will be most valuable.

Hi Norman, A William Ed. Way married on the 2nd of Sep 1877 in Kings County. I'm afraid the bride's names do not match. Way William Ed Sep 2 1877 Kings 1883 W000 Smith Jennie Sep 2 1877 Kings 1883 S530 There was another William Way married on 24 Dec 1875 in Kings County. Her name does not match either. Way William Dec 24 1875 Kings 2561 W000 Brodie Kate W Dec 24 1875 Kings 2561 B630 Perhaps you will have to keep searching in Queens. If you wish to look at these certificates, you can order them from the LDS for $2.00 each.

As we are in the start of the new year I am asking for help for my descendants who emigrated to New York about 1898. HENRY MORRIS born on the Isle-of-Wight. England in July 1861. ROSE MORRIS (his wife) born on the Isle-of-Wight in February 1963. In the 1930 census dated 9th April 1930 they are found living in the Bronx, New York. Henry is aged 68 and retired. Rose is aged 65 and also retired. They both were working together in a house in New York. They applied for a dual Passport January 9th 1921 to travel back to the Isle-of-Wight, England (sailed 9th July 1921) they gave their address as 627 West 239 Street, Hudson Park, New York City. As far as I know there were no children. Henrys sister AGNES MORRIS also worked with them house for a while. I believe she might have been a cook but not sure. I do not think she ever got married but am not sure about that either. I would love help please, to find their deaths and burial dates and the cemeteries. I have searched the Social Security lists as much as possible but there are so, so many Henrys and Rose Morris but not always with helpful info to say where they were born or living at their times of death. Thank you and kind regards. April. New Forest England

Please look up Arthur Clark in Queens New York Telephone Directory 1960- 1966, I am trying to find his address during these years. He may have lived Jackson Heights. Thank you, Annie

Annemarie, Are you still trying to help me with Hugh Brady and Ellen Donnelly? If you don' t have time I understand. Perhaps you could suggest something I should subscribe to so that I can do this for myself. You have given me hope. L

Merry Christmas to everyone. I am so grateful to all for what I have learned and all the information that was given thru this List thru the past 10 years. God's Blessings in 2011 Ruth Ann

Wishing all a Holy Christmas and a peaceful and healthy New Year. My thanks for all the help you have given me over the years. Kathleen~CT.

Hi everyone... Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years! Greetings from, Jan (patches) NY This! is my site: www.citlink.net/~coral4

ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE RENSSELAER COUNTY, NEW YORK SURROGATE COURT INDEX 1786-1917 A. An index of 31,325 Rensselaer County Surrogate Court Records from 1786 to 1917 has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy (TIGS) website. These records, especially those prior to 1880 will be of great interest to genealogy researchers. The information in this data base was copied from a file in the Rensselaer County Historical Society, 57 Second Street, Troy, New York. B. To view these records go to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on PROJECTS and then click on RENSSELAER COUNTY SURROGATE COURT INDEX. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. C. For each name in the on-line index there is a Surrogate Court Record folder that may contain various original source documents such as Wills, Letters of Administration, Guardianship Papers, Invoice of Property, Depositions Concerning a Person's Death, etc. The on-line index shows the following information for each record which may help you identify those records that will be of interest to you: 1. NAME - Last, first, middle name or initials if any, and titles like Dr., Rev., etc. 2. FILE NUMBER - Used to locate the files at the Rensselaer County Historical Society. 3. LOCATION - Gives name of city, town or state of residence. 4. DATE - May be year of death or year of legal issue. 5. INV. - Indicates when there is an inventory of household goods in the record. An invoice may be in the records EVEN if this column is not checked. 6. COMMENTS - This column will have an interesting comment for each name. Some comments may show marital status (bachelor, spinster, widow, widower), while other comments may show maiden names, occupations, name of street residence, relationships (wife, husband, mother, father, son daughter, etc.) and number of children. D. Copies of any original source documents that are contained in the file folder for each name can be requested from the Rensselaer County Historical Society. The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used when requesting copies from RCHS. For each request there is a $5.00 fee which will cover RCHS's cost of locating and pulling a singular file folder from the archives. After the file folder is located, RCHS will contact the requester about the contents of the file to see which documents they want copied at a cost of .25 cents per page plus postage for mailing. E. Hopefully this new on-line index, along with the many other TIGS projects will be useful to Troy area genealogy researchers. Regards, Bill McGrath TIGS Project Coordinator Clifton Park, NY
