This is my first post to this board. I've learned that my gggrandfather Andreas PFEIFFER "married and settled in Albany, NY." He and his wife to be, Barbara ZAHND b. 1823 came to New York from Havre via the ship Urania in 1847. Can anyone tell me if there were any marriage records kept at that time by the county, or should I be looking for church records there? I have no information whatsoever, except an 1850 Fulton County, Bleeker Township census record of them with their first born, Martin. I'm assuming the marriage occurred between their arrival in June 1847 and early 1850. They lived in NY, and I think Fulton County, for 12 years. Any help, ideas or direction would be wonderful and very much appreciated. Jane
