I really don't know. I just found the interesting article about him,with the sketch of him and now I have just found his obituary. He died November 22, 1882.

Hello List: I am new and just discovered that my Henry Lieber was apparently in Greene County during the 1830's as a partner in the building of the Catskill Railroad. He was born in Germany and came to Canajoharie, Montgomery Co. where he died in 1838. The only information that I can find on him in Greene Co. is his involvement with the RR. I'd like to know if he ever lived there, for how long and what years. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cristy

I found a newspaper article in an 1882 Wisconsin about a Thurlow Weed born in Cairo with a sketch of him. If anyone is interested, I can send the file. Sincerely, Juanita

Hello List & Jim, Sorry I sounded off so strongly in defense of Sylvia. I've seen it on the other 20 or so lists that I am on. All those people who criticize free info & I just don't want this list to become one of them:) My question: what is the addy for the Dutch Colonies you mentioned? I'd like to add that one to my favorites, if you would please. Thanx, gina If you do feel respect for Sylvia, and that also goes for many others on this list, you can pay her no higher compliment than to participate fully on this, her, list. I subscribe to one list, among others - Dutch Colonies, for really early research - that has the most brilliant researchers that I've ever heard from. Not that we don't have them here also. However, one or two of them (not the smart ones on that list), for whatever reason, are so snotty that they have managed to reduce participation on the list. Over really petty issues. They've just cowed people into silence. So, again, you can pay Sylvia no higher compliment that to be an active participant on this list.

Yes Ron, we claim the same Waldrons from the point where John W. married Catherine. I think my Brandows got awfully "close" to a lot of the people of Greene County from the amount of Brandows that lived there thru the decades---LOL. My latest attempt is putting Bogardus families together in some sort of order and they are just about as prolific. My Ferris family were pretty much in Ashland area and easier to find, but from there they fanned out into the rest of the country. My worst nightmare is the wife of Charles Andrus from Saratoga County and Onondaga County before coming to my home county of Steuben. She was Lucinda Davis and full blood Mohawk Native b. 1786 with first 3 kids christened in 1806 in Episcopal Church in Ballston Spa, NY. They ended up in Steuben County having 13 kids and the middle one was Laura Ann Andrus b. 1816, my ggg grandma who married Henry Ferris, descendent of Gilbert Ferris of Ashland. Solving this one would be the high point of my genealogical search for ancestors, having searched for 2 decades for her parents. Well, I got sidetracked on that one, so back to typing obits of 2002.

Ok, I have to jump in here, I am also new to this list and have been quietly sitting back "listening" to the jabs and winks going on and chuckling to myself, thinking this list is great! So refreshing from some of the others, and so nice to see a list/site coordinator joining in and helping out. Then I see Annette's name and her praise and I knew before Sylvia replied back that Annette has had something to do with the site also, she has contributed to a few others, and her work is so appreciated. So I too, want to say thank you to both of you, but I also want to say thanks to the rest of you who make up this list you are the ones who make it from what I can see, the best around. Plus a big thank you to those of you who are all volunteering - that is what truly makes a site and list work.

Yes, which IA. county? My ancestors spent time in both Greene Co. NY. and Greene Co. IA. (They must have liked the name Greene?) As well as Broome, Steuben and Cattaraugus Counties in NY. Tioga in PA. Henry in IL. and Dixon in NE. If anyone on the list, however unlikely, may need lookups in said, Dixon Co. NE., I have the book that my cousin produced on the cemeteries there. Sad to say that she is now confined to one of them, and the county is greatly missing her genealogical services! Clyde in MO. > What County in Iowa?

To follow this stream of thought furhter, I have found from time to time that no will or probate packet exists for someone who died. However the heirs were identified in a deed transcaction that distributed the deceased person's land to his heirs. Quite interesting and somewhat rare, but a valuable tool, nonetheless.

Many people died without wills >(intestate). The probate files would then provide the information of the >heirs and the estate. After 1830, or so, NY state implemented a more rigid probate notification process. You should be able to find paperwork indicating that all named heirs were notified and addresses should be available. Given the times, a city and/or county might suffice as an address. Intestate probates seem to contain more names because even if there were children presumed to be the heirs, the deceased's siblings were, I think the term is, at-law heirs and had(?) to be notified. Useful in either case for tracking where relatives might have moved to. And while we sometimes look at will abstracts, the underlying wills and the resulting paperwork are more useful. I'll use a will abstract, because it's easy and convenient, to build a family group, but if that family is important to me I'll write myself a to-do note to look at the will and probate when I get a chance. Abstracts are sometimes inaccurate because, without understanding of the family, the abstracter may miss references that a more familiar researcher would understand. (My all time favorite was a son named Johnettortin in the abstract - in the difficult to read will it was sons John&Martin.) Not finding a will in the abstracts can be a gold mine if you take the further step to find out if there was an intestate probate. If there was, there is usually more information in an intestate probate package than you will find in a will abstract or the full packet of will papers. In either case, a probate contains all kinds of neat stuff - bills due, inventories (useful for determining profession - lots of blacksmith tools, probably a blacksmith), disbursements of funds, etc. If you know there was a death in a particular area, but no will or intestate probate, the deceased may have had so little that a formal proceeding was avoided. Or that you may need to check land records to see if the deceased put his/her affairs in order years ago with transfers of property. Jim

Cristy, if Henry lived in the area at all during the 1830's records will likely be sparse. Deeds are one source and mortgages. Census record for 1830 another. Town tax records, if they exist for those years another or perhaps a newsapaper notice for the birth of a child, a marriage or? Another direction would be to see if Henry ever applied to become a citizen. These forms ( and it is a three step process) would be filed in Albany. An example of this is located at the following link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygreen2/even_more_pictures_of_the_past.htm The LDS have microfilmed the Albany Court records so that may be another research direction. The applications for citizenship and natiraliztion require the inidividual to show where they live.
