Family legend states that a group of mill workers were walking across the frozen Hudson in 1856/57 when they fell through the ice and drowned near Saugerties. My GGgrandfather Thomas Nertney is one of those who drowned. Thomas is also my brickwall and my first over from Ireland. Any assistance in locating death records/coroner records from that time and/or that area would be greatly appreciated. Death records, coroner records/log, newspapers, anything that would lead me to Thomas would be fantastic.
