I don't think you can do locality search on DAR system. And I don't think Steve Morse and his one-step search engines have gotten there yet either. (I didn't double check that before sending this though.) But you can do a locality search on www .footnote.com in the pension and service records databases by searching "Greene County" or "County of Greene" though you may need to toss "New York" in with it. (Unlike HeritageQuest / ProQuest which digitized the selected records microfilm, Footnote digitized the complete files microfilm and has an every name index instead of just the soldier whose file it is.) Using footnote I was able to put in my 5th or 6th great uncle's name and find out who all had a letter in their file from Uncle Robert. Uncle Robert did not get a pension for himself (he was doing well for himself) but I learned that quite a few of guys he served with came to him for help proving they served. I'd like to add to Sylvia's Rev War list but I'm pretty sure my uncle Job planted in Rensselaerville Albany County and it was just his son Nathaniel who moved between Albany Co and Catskill Greene Co.

And, when searching Counties before 1800 parts of Greene were found in both Albany and Ulster Counties. So search them as well as Greene. ~ Ron W ~ In God We Trust, All Others We Monitor ----- Original Message ----- From: <goneresearching@comcast.net> To: <nygreene@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 11:52 AM Subject: Re: [NYGREENE] Rev War and locality search >I don't think you can do locality search on DAR system. > > And I don't think Steve Morse and his one-step search engines have gotten > there yet either.

That leads to my question: Sylvia, do you want Greene County as it is today or as it was in the Revolution? Barbara L. de Mare, Esq.

That would mean my Rev. soldier could be included?
