http://www.springvillegi.wnyric.org/schools/hs/history.htm ... .pdf files of a 1909-1910 yearbook of Griffith Institute (Springville NY) have just been put online by Laurie Muhlbauer, a media specialist at GI. For genealogists: near the end, the book includes a complete list of Griffith Institute graduates from 1849 to 1909.

I'm stuck! I have several relatives who came to the Buffalo, New York area from Hesse Darmstadt / Alsace Lorraine about 1860, but I can't locate their birthplace or how they got to the US. I know that several other folks on this list have had relatives come from the same area(s) at about the same time. If you have any information about those areas at about that time or how/where/when your ancestors came over, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks for your time. Dixie

Does anyone know if there was a girls home in Albany Ny in 1860? My ggrandmother is on a census list of 40 girls in albany, she was in PA by 1870. Thank You Linda Dougan ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the TBSWebMail system at mail.worldconnx.net

Sorry Leslie, I should have added a smile to my moving Wolcottsville around comment, it was in smiling at the different locations given. :) The first thing you need to know about Wolcottsville, is that it really isn't a town per say. It is a dot on the map, a very small area with no real main street, etc, just a country road with a road or two branching into rural areas. The main thing remaining there are two Lutheran Churches. They are St. Michaels Lutheran and Trinity Lutheran. I don't remember all the particulars of their divisions, but basically they are both Lutheran, but the members split from a single Church over their different views. Families even split up between the two, I have family members where siblings are buried in one Church Cemetery or the other, but also have their children buried in both. The early German settlers mainly settled into Walmore, west of Lockport, Niagara County, in the mid 1800's. A large parcel of land was purchased in rural Wolcottsville, and divided up, and a large number of German families moved there where it was considered a *German Settlement Area* on the 1860 Niagara County map on my living room wall that I am looking at right now. My GG and G Grandparents first settled in the Walmore area after arriving in 1864 and 1867. In the 1880's they moved with many to the Wolcottsville area where my Grandmother was born. These were Wolf/Wolfe and Winger/Wagner, and you will find the same names in both Walmore and Wolcottsvile Church records. The very strong Germanic family names are all present in both areas. I have gotten copies of some of their records from the Town of Royalton Town Clerk's Office. These were the later NYS Vital Records. They were mainly death records from when the State started keeping records, earlier need to come from the Church records themselves. I have gone thru the copies of the Trinity Lutheran, and St. Michaels Lutheran Church records held in the Niagara County Historians Office in Lockport, NY. They also hold copies of the other Lutheran Churches in Walmore and other areas. These are copies, so in the original German as written by the Church. I know at least one had been transcribed by a lady at the Historians Office, so in English. These record have never been filmed that I knew of at the time, and NONE are on the web. I know there were objections by the Churches to these records being copied for any other use. Both Cemeteries are still active, but I know a lot of later families also used Mt Pleasant Cemetery in Orleans County. This was due in part to flooding in the old Cemeteries in the winter and spring. I have visited my GG Grandparents headstone wearing knee boots to get to it in the water it was surrounded by. All Orleans County Cemeteries are online now.

Please stop moving Wolcottsville all around. I have visited it and both Lutheran Cemeteries many times and dealt with their records. Wolcottsville is in the Town of Royalton and in NIAGARA County. It has been home to the many Germans that moved there in the mid to late 1800's. Many of my German ancestors are buried there in both St. Michaels and Trinity Lutheran Churches.

West Ridgeway Cemetery, Town of Ridgeway, Orleans County, New York "Goggle" Wolcottville and this is one of the sites you will find. Nancy

Sorry, Ed, I was not intentionally moving Wolcottsville anywhere. But, other people who know the area had indicated that parts of it might be located in more than 1 county. I live in Glendale, Arizona and have never even been to New York, so I appreciate your insight that Wolcottsville is indeed totally within Niagara County. My husband has KÖHLER & NEUMANN / NIEMANN Prussian ancestors who were in the Wolcottsville-Lockport area roughly 1850-1868.

Are both St. Michaels and Trinity Lutheran Church online? I'm still thinking of Pluto's unflowered grave. Have the burials been transcribed?

Joe, Wolcottsville is just south of Royalton which is in Niagara County. It looks like it is on, I believe, County Route 122.

Nancy, not looking for anyone in particular. Am collecting cemetery burial urls? Still looking for Pluto, but seeing noone has found his place of burial yet, I know he's not in there. If anyone can get his deathdate and place, I'll make an offer so write me off-list? Zona
