Albany & Eastern New York Genealogy is the name of my website. It was begun in August 2000 as a free site to help people in their genealogical research. Today, I have over 1000 links, over 400 of which will take you to online records for the counties of Albany, Columbia, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Greene, Schenectady, Schoharie and Montgomery. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/ About 600 links are to webpages that can be very useful in your research. Those include such things as a birthdate calulator (for when you have the age of a person and their date of death), genealogical forms, blank census forms, gazetteers, maps, photos, my Guide to Albany Area Genealogical Resources (39 local places to do research), lists of historical societies, dictionaries, foreign language translators, lists of cemeteries, lists of churches, a section on local and New Netherland history, etc. The website currently contains over 100 links to Dutch records and information. Few links to records are from outside the area covered by my website unless I thought they were special or might include information about people from the local geographic area. The history section covers a broader area. On my site, the links are separated by subject, then by county. I have omitted the county names in the following list.
