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
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.
