    3. The webpage for the Town of Rensselaerville went online six months ago. It contained a map of the Town from the 1866 Beers atlas for Albany Co. and a list of property owners transcribed from the map. Since then additional maps of four hamlets in the town have been found, scanned and the names on them transcribed by Barbara Bolster-Barrett. This adds an additional 250 properties to what we already had. The property owners are listed on the Beers map as a surname plus initials for the first and middle names. Barbara's new work on this project is a major addition to what I already had online. Next, Janet Haseley combed the materials and resources of the Rensselaerville Historic Society to determine what many of the initials stood for on the new list. This is another major addition to this project. Her research notes are also online because they contain sources of the names and additional information like spouses, relatives and occupations which would not fit on the property owners list which I posted. After many months of work by the three of us, the project is finally complete. These changes went online today. I must say that it was a delight to work with Barb and Janet on this project. They are as hard working and dedicated to accurate work as one could possibly ask for. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Misc/MAP-RenVL-List.htm Cliff
