Can anyone in Croghan Township provide the name, address, and telephone number of the person in charge of the records for St. Stephen's Cemetery in Croghan? The last time I looked such information was not available on the Lewis County web site, or am I wrong? Ken Everard in NJ

I have been unable to locate the death record for my great, great maternal grandmother Anna Egloff who is buried at St. Stephen's Cemetery in Croghan. After checking the church records, county records (Lowville Court House), and the NYS Department of Health, my findings are zero. My next move will be to contact the funeral home in Croghan, but where else might I check? Ken Everard in NJ

I would like to welcome those of you new to this site and tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are more that 6200 prisoners on record from the state of New York and more than 2300 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of some 13000 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. .I also wish to thank the patience of those regular subscribers for my frequent postings. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Hi, Here is the web sites where the newspaper extracts are stored http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/usa.html in case you want to investigate further - other counties in NY - other states in the US. The articles I transcribed are pages that I xeroxed a few years ago when I was doing my Lewis county research at the New York state library in Albany, N.Y. I only have a few more pages to transcribe. This appears to be a free site, hopefully it will remain that way. There is also a commercial, subscription site at www.newspaperarchive.com To Marilyn in Michigan, I think the death certificate for Lucretia McDONALD who is listed as died in Lowville should be in the village clerk's records. (? is Lowville a village ?) To research Lucretia McDONALD I think you would want to get the newspaper that was printed after June 30, 1890. The newspaper list of deaths in Lowville was printed in January 1891 for all the deaths that occurred in the previous year - 1890. It is possible that the information printed in the newspaper had some errors, for example, the entry for Patrick KELLEY lists his date of death as March 33. I guess you will need to find a researcher in Lowville or Albany, NY. Good luck. Enjoy

Dear Listers, According to McAfee the jbdgmgr.exe virus is a HOAX. The jdbgmgr.exe program is a microsoft windows application program. If you have deleted it you should go to the website http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99436 for additional information and to get instructions for restoring the program. Note: There is an underscore between virus and k in the above address (e.g. virus_k). Lee Harris

This is a hoax........ TruthOrFiction.com Delete jdbgmgr.exe From Your Windows Command Folder Because It's a Virus-Fiction! Summary of eRumor An email warns you that a new virus is spreading and will activate on a certain date. Many versions also describe how the sender of the email searched his or her computer and found the file so is warning you in case the contamination was passed along. The offending file is named jdbgmgr.exe and you get instructions on how to find and delete the file both from your hard disk and from the recycle bin in Windows. The Truth: This is a false warning. If you follow the instructions in the eRumor, you will be deleting a valid file, not a virus. jdbgmgr.exe is a Windows file associated with Java. Fortunately, even if you did delete the file, it should not cause major problems and Windows should continue to work normally. You will want to get the file back, however, so your Windows installation will be in complete working order. Without the file, the handling of some filenames may be affected if they become corrupted. It is identical to another false virus warning about a file named sulfnbk.exe. To provide the best protection for your computer, be sure you have good virus protection software and that the virus definitions for it are up to date. If you've deleted the file and want to get it back CLICK HERE for Microsoft Instructions for various versions of Windows. These may be instructions about how to get sulfnbk.exe back, but they are the same for getting jdbgmgr.exe back as well.

Sheila: What a wonderful service you are providing us. I may have spotted a relative. Thanks for sharing such valuable data. Will your information eventually be included in one of the newspaper web sites that seems to be under development? Ken Everard in NJ

In the deaths transcribed by Sheila from the Journal and Republican, Thursday January 8, 1891 for Lowville, there is listed a Lucretia J. McDONALD age 56, died June 30 1891. I'd be interested in corresponding with anyone having knowledge of this person. I am researching the family of Lucretia McDONALD b. c1812, Brandon, Rutland, Vermont. She was wife of Elijah PAUL b. May 1808, Enosburgh, Franklin Co.,Vermont. In 1840 and 1850 they are in Parrishville, St. Lawrence Co.; in 1860 they are in Fowler, St. Lawrence Co and in 1870, Lucretia is in Edwards, St. Lawrence Co, living with her dau Martha HOLMES and her husband Joel Holmes. Since a number of the families connected to this line settled in town of Diana, Lewis Co, it is possible that this younger Lucretia listed in the death records could be connected. Any suggestions or help appreciated. Marilyn in Michigan

Lowville, Lewis Co, NY printed in The Journal & Republican, Thursday, March 7, 1918 CROGHAN Hippolyte MONNAT, a respected citizen and retired businessman of this village passed away at the St. Lawrence State Hospital at Ogdensburg, Friday (1 March 1918), where he was taken for treatment last fall. Mr. MONNAT was aged 72 years and 5 months. Mr. MONNAT was very well known all through this section having been in business a great many years. He was associated in the mercantile and grocery business with E. M. MARILLEY under the firm name of MARILLEY & MONNAT. After dissolving this partnership he built a large general store which he conducted for several years later selling to Michael NERTZ. Later he opened a grocery and confectionery store on the opposite side of Main Street. This was destroyed by fire but was soon rebuilt by Mr. MONNAT and which he conducted up to the time of the fire which practically destroyed the whole village six years ago. Owing to failing health and advancing age he did not rebuild. Since that time he has resided with his brother Joseph MONNAT. He was a kind-hearted man and generous to a fault, always ready to assist a neighbor or friend even at a personal loss. He was a devoted member of St. Stephen's church from where his funeral was largely attended at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, when a requim high mass was celebrated by the pastor Rev. Hilary Reinhold. He leaves to survive him, three brothers Joseph, Julian and Justin MONNAT all of this place. submitted by Sheila Lofft Strickland

Dr. I. D. SPENCER was summoned but he (Walter SERTWELL) was past medical aid and passed away in a few minutes, death being due to apoplexy. Mr. SERTWELL was born in Brownville and was 81 years, 8 months and 10 days of age. He was a veteran of the Civil war and was a splendid physical type of a perfect soldier, being 6 feet 2 inches tall and remarkably erect. It was always interesting to hear him relate his experiences during the war or which he was very fond of telling. He never affiliated with any church, but was a man of good principles and thoroughly honest. He leaves two sons and a daughter whose whereabouts are unknown. His funeral was held under the auspices of the G. D. BAILEY Post, G. A. R., Tuesday afternoon. Interment took place at Lowville. - At his home on Mechanic street in this village at 10 o'clock, Sunday night, occurred the death of Francis MONNAT, Sr., after a lingering illness. A few years ago Mr. MONNAT sustained a paralytic shock and has been in poor health since that time. He has been a great care and all that loving hands could do to ease his suffering and make him comfortable has been done. Mr. MONNAT was born in Switzerland on May 29, 1842, and was the son of Stephen and Mary Ann POUSEY MONNAT. He left his native land when eight years of age and with his parents came to this country. They were twenty-eight days in crossing the Atlantic and made the trip from New York to Albany by steamboat, and from there to Boonville by canel. They came overland from Boonville to the section known as Gooville, about three miles from this village, where they settled and resided until about four years ago, when on account of ill health he retired from business and located here. Mr. MONNAT was a successful business man and in his dealings with the public he exercised honesty and fairness. He conducted a sash and blind business at Lowville for a number of years, but always maintained his farm here. He was heavily interested in timber land and had varied other business interests. His death records the passing of another worthy citizen whose genial manner and true friendship will be missed by a host of warm friends. He was a devoted member of St. Stephen's church, from which his funeral was held at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning when a requiem high mass was celebrated. Besides his sorrowing widow he leaves to survive him eight sons and two daughters, Frank, Julien, Charles, Leo and Miles, of this place; Augustus of Lowville; Clement, of Copenhagen, and Christopher, of Watertown,; Mrs. Frank RUBAR, of Belfort, and Miss Belle MONNAT, of Croghan.

The Index for Book One: The Rice Family: 'Celebrating Our Diversity', is now online at <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ricesinusa> For anyone who has any questions or comments please email <normagertz@aol.com> No requests for research, please. Rosemary Bachelor has been publishing material on various Rice families for over 35 years. She has if not the largest, one of the largest collections on these families. (Remember, not all descend from Edmund of Sudbury) Rosemary is now in seclusion finishing up book two. As each book is finished, should be at least eight, that index will be put online. Anyone who's Rice families had connections with New York, please feel free to send me your information at <nyrices@yahoo.com> I'll also be collecting information on PA, OH, and MI Rice's.

What are the odds that the Lewis County Historical Society will be in operation this summer at its current location or its future location in Lowville. I'm aware of the state of transition that implies it may not be open at all for an indefiniteperiod. The web site shows last year'shours and days. Should not some note be placed on the web site clarifying the status of things? Ken

Well the face of Lewis County has changed, and we are officially in the reconstruction mode. I do hope that it isn't to difficult to find your way around. All the same links are still there. If you should find a link that is not working, please let me know. I tried to check them and think we are in pretty good shape. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nylewis/ Jan Lewis County Coordinator
