Seeking info on the parents of Amelia Plimley & Theodore Houghtaling of Claverack.

I am trying to track my family heritage. Unfortunately both my parents have passed away and I have no information about my family other than they are from the Hudson/Stockport area. My grandfather was Martin E. Dunspaugh, his wife was Elmira Friss (Dunspaugh). My grandfather Martin had several brothers, I believe their names were Fenton and Wilfred but am not sure. My grandmother had several brothers and sisters - the only name I know for sure is Conrad Friss, who was her brother. I think I remember hearing the names Elmina or Elvira or both? Does anyone have any information about the Dunspaugh or Friss families that they would be willing to share? My email address is rd3287@aol.com. Thank you so much!

HI, The Old Kinderhook Cemetary is on Albany ave in Kinderhook. Just turn west onto Albany Ave (Route 21) and go for about 1/2 mile from the 4 corners of town and you will find it. Many promenant people are buried there including Martin Van Buren the 8th pres of US. I am also searching the Mulvey sirname. My Grandmother was Mary Jane Mulvey b.1888 in Auburn NY. Her father was John A. Mulvey of Auburn. I know very little else.Do you have any links to that part of the country? Sincerely, Bob Dickson

Phillip RASE was baptized on 23 Jun 1771 at Nobletown [now Hillsdale], Columbia Co., NY by Rev. Gideon BOSTWICK of the St. James Episcopal Church of Great Barrington, Berkshire Co., MA. Abraham RASE and Catherine [MNU] were listed as his parents. Does anyone on the list have information about the ancestors of Abraham RASE and/or the maiden name of his wife Catherine? Rev. BOSTWICK also baptized other RASE children of Abraham and Catherine, as well as other RASE parents--perhaps siblings of Abraham, at Nobletown. Thanks for looking. Otto Burgett

I have skeletal information on Lapes in Columbia Co., NY. I start with Samuel Jeremiah Lape born Jan 28, 1816 married Nov 3, 1836 to Eve Rossman (Feb 19, 1819 - Jan 31,1884). This is my "thin" side of the family. Any help would be appreciated. I will also gladly share what information I do have. Sande

Looking for someone with information on MARTIN STICKLES, aged 27 in the 1850 census (therefore b abt 1823) in the household of LUTHER JONES, Town of Macedon, Wayne Co, NY. This looks like a clue to the identity of POLLY STICKLES, wife of Luther's uncle, OLIVER M. JONES. Oliver married Polly in Hillsdale, NY, ca 1838. They are in the 1850 Macedon census, on the same page, as are Luther's parents, JOHN and CYNTHIA JONES. Gary Merrill hcmerrill@home.com

The Albany Co. Hall of Records has an online search engine to an index of their Naturalization records. The index has been completed for 1821-1906, and is partially completed for 1907-1991 (letters A-Q). If you think that your immigrant relatives may have lived in Albany Co. even a short while (or you aren't certain), they may have become a citizen (naturalized) in the city of Albany even if they didn't live in the city. Naturalization usually took place 2-5 years after filling out a Declaration of Intent (which could have been filed in some other county). In rare cases, both were filed the same day. http://www.albanycounty.com/achor/ Click on: Naturalization Index Search Our Database (at bottom) The index headings will be as follows: Last Name First Name Nation of Origin Residence in the U.S. Date Petition Number Book Page I talked to the Albany Co. Hall of Records today to get a clarification of their service and the kind of information that was in their records. The type of registers used and the information recorded varied with the time period. The earliest records (starting with the 1821) don't have much information, but will at least have the signature of the person (perhaps only an X which was their "mark"). At some later point, Naturalizations and Declarations of Intent were recorded in separate registers in which each record was on a single line two pages wide (I don't know when this began). There was no personal signature. The information is in different columns such as name, place of birth (usually only the country, but sometimes the county or province was included), the age of the person at the time of filing, the port from which they sailed, the person's residence or intended residence, date of filing, a witness, a judge's name and possibly a fee. In the Naturalization register, it also tells the place where the Declaration was filed. This would be useful for finding the Declaration of the person if they didn't file it in Albany. In the 20th century, the information for both events was entered into a single book. This may have been because most of the information was duplicated. For a $14 per hour fee, the Albany Co. Hall of Records will send you photocopies of the pages of both kinds of records. If you have several people that interest you, they will send them all for the same fee (which is a fee based on the time spent, with a $14 minimum). This can be a real bargain if you have several people that interest you, or it can be expensive for a single record. To get naturalization and declaration records, you must fill out the form provided on their website. You can copy and paste their Research Request Form (link found on the opening screen) into a word processor. I removed the header information, adjusted the margins, and it fit onto a single page. Good luck finding those ancestors. Cliff http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/

Shufelt, on the part of the Shufelt Family Association, published "Our Folks, A History of the Shufelt Family." Admittedly, as nearly all family history's, it has holes in it and many lines untied. But it includes nearly 300 pages of facts invaluable to anyone searching this line. Regards, Jim Groat
