Than you Sylvia & Crew, you all do a wonderful job. Merry Christmas! ~ Ron W ~ In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sylvia Hasenkopf" <esi@francomm.com> To: <nygreene@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 11:42 AM Subject: [NYGREENE] Upload complete

OK folks - the upload is now complete. I feel like I have given birth to triplets! Eight days overdue, too. I still have more to upload, but decided to call it quits and get this HUGE upload up and away. I want to thank the many contributors to the site - you know who you are! It is your willingness to share your personal material that makes this site so wonderful! I would also like to thank Scott Wichman, Carol Golden, Vernon Aldredge, Annette Campbell and Mignon Matthews, my trusty and dedicated transcription volunteers, who have given endless hours of their time to get material transcribed for the website. Thank you! In particular, a special thank you to Scott, who works so hard on the ancient documents and does such a wonderful job! And finally, a special thank you to the sponsors of the website. Your donations make this site possible. I promise to continue to find new and exciting material on your Greene County ancestors and get it online at Tracing your Roots in Greene County! Have a very Happy Holiday season everyone and safe and joyous New Year! Sylvia

ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE RENSSELAER COUNTY, NEW YORK SURROGATE COURT INDEX 1786-1917 A. An index of 31,325 Rensselaer County Surrogate Court Records from 1786 to 1917 has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy (TIGS) website. These records, especially those prior to 1880 will be of great interest to genealogy researchers. The information in this data base was copied from a file in the Rensselaer County Historical Society, 57 Second Street, Troy, New York. B. To view these records go to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on PROJECTS and then click on RENSSELAER COUNTY SURROGATE COURT INDEX. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. C. For each name in the on-line index there is a Surrogate Court Record folder that may contain various original source documents such as Wills, Letters of Administration, Guardianship Papers, Invoice of Property, Depositions Concerning a Person's Death, etc. The on-line index shows the following information for each record which may help you identify those records that will be of interest to you: 1. NAME - Last, first, middle name or initials if any, and titles like Dr., Rev., etc. 2. FILE NUMBER - Used to locate the files at the Rensselaer County Historical Society. 3. LOCATION - Gives name of city, town or state of residence. 4. DATE - May be year of death or year of legal issue. 5. INV. - Indicates when there is an inventory of household goods in the record. An invoice may be in the records EVEN if this column is not checked. 6. COMMENTS - This column will have an interesting comment for each name. Some comments may show marital status (bachelor, spinster, widow, widower), while other comments may show maiden names, occupations, name of street residence, relationships (wife, husband, mother, father, son daughter, etc.) and number of children. D. Copies of any original source documents that are contained in the file folder for each name can be requested from the Rensselaer County Historical Society. The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used when requesting copies from RCHS. For each request there is a $5.00 fee which will cover RCHS's cost of locating and pulling a singular file folder from the archives. After the file folder is located, RCHS will contact the requester about the contents of the file to see which documents they want copied at a cost of .25 cents per page plus postage for mailing. E. Hopefully this new on-line index, along with the many other TIGS projects will be useful to Troy area genealogy researchers. Regards, Bill McGrath TIGS Project Coordinator Clifton Park, NY

Lois: Leeds was probably his last place of residence but that does not mean that it is the place of death, hence the death certificate could be in a different county or state. It might help if you order the SS record for his death. Sandie in Wisconsin On 12/15/2010 7:04 AM, Lois Perkins wrote: > I appreciate the responses but no obituary as of yet.

I did a little searching around, and it appears that he may not have died in Leeds..... ~ Ron W ~ In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor ----- Original Message ----- From: "~ Ron W. ~" <ronwaldron@verizon.net> To: <nygreene@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 5:43 PM Subject: Re: [NYGREENE] Obituary: James Franzino >I would try obit archives in the Catskill Daily Mail. > > ~ Ron W ~ > In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sylvia Hasenkopf" <esi@francomm.com> > To: <nygreene@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 5:28 PM > Subject: Re: [NYGREENE] Obituary: James Franzino > > >> Hi Lois, did anyone get back in touch with the answer for this?? >> >> Sylvia >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Lois Perkins" <lopernc@bellsouth.net> >> To: <NYGREENE@rootsweb.com> >> Sent: Sunday, December 05, 2010 10:27 AM >> Subject: [NYGREENE] Obituary: James Franzino >> >> >>> >>> Looking for an obituary for James Franzino, born Queens , NY and died in >>> Leeds, Greene County, NY.

The next upload is almost done. Hang tight folks, it's HUGE! Sylvia

I'm a little hesitant to wade into this, but the family name (Van Denburgh) creates some obligation. First off my Dutch dictionary says a beek is a "brook, rill or rivulet" - that may not be the only definition but it is all that is stated. In my research I don't remember running into the Vanderbeek used as a variation of Van Denburgh (Vandenburg, Vandenberg, Vanderberg, Van Den Berck, Vanderburgh, Van Den Berk etc.) It may have been there but I don't remember it. The origin of the name I have consistantly heard about, have all been locational - of/from the Hill; this may have been from Holland or of local origin. So my impression would be that any Vanderbeek's are separate family.

I have also seen Vanderbeek interchangeable, at least in handwriting, with Vanderbeck. I don't believe they are the same families, though!

Sue, 'Burg' in German and other Germanic European languages means 'Town' or 'Hamlet'. While 'Berg' means 'mountain' or 'Hill'. I believe that 'beek' in Dutch means a point of land jutting into the water, like 'The Point' in Catskill. So your Vanderbeek probly translates to 'From the point' there's also 5 mile point between Coxsackie and Athens that may have been the particular 'beek' of your ancestors.... ~ Ron W ~ In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Maxwell" <suemaxwell@comcast.net> To: <nygreene@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 7:05 PM Subject: Re: [NYGREENE] Vandenbeek > Sylvia- I am deleting emails and just saw this.

Sylvia- I am deleting emails and just saw this. I know that any town that has a burg or a similar spelling has to do with Vikings. Don't know if that is helpful.

Looking for an obituary for James Franzino, born Queens , NY and died in Leeds, Greene County, NY. Date of death according to SS Index is Dec 1978 but no other info. Any ideas how I might find this? Thanks for any help. Lois

The Cairo Historical Society still has some Catskill Mountain House and Deep Water DVD's for sale - $19.95 if local, $22.00 if mailed. Great stocking stuffers!

A picture of it can be seen at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nygreen2/cairo_historical_society.htm Cost for the throw is $45 if local and $56 if mailed. If interested email me at esi@francomm.com Sylvia Hasenkopf
