Hello Monore County. I'm a newbie to this list and know very little about your county. Please guide me to some records up there for an Irish Catholic. NY County based Andrew CLARK, shoemaker, born 1828 in County Cavan, Ireland, paid US IRS Taxes in Hamlin, NY for a manufacturing business. This was in 1863-1864. Since his shoe business was in NYC, I'm wondering if the might have processed leather in Hamlin, or if Hamlin is known for this. Are there NEWSPAPER archives and DIRECTORIES available that include Hamlin, NY in the 1860s? I never received a response from the Hamlin historian from this question. Where would I find such resources? I see that Hamlin is located on Lake Ontario, and wonder if the CLARK family immigrated there through Canada, or if that was Andrew CLARK's intention. How would someone travel from NYC to Hamlin in that era? Did Hamlin have a train depot? Andrew CLARK married a woman from Albany NY. He sure got around! What Roman Catholic church would a resident of Hamlin attend in 1860? It appears to have been small then, so maybe the family traveled to Mass. Where are Vital Records located for Hamlin, NY? Where is the Monroe County seat? Does the Hamlin area have a large Irish-American population? As you see, I have many questions and only know about Andrew CLARK paying taxes in Hamlin. I appreciate any facts, interpretations, and leads to Andrew CLARK. This sounds like I'm seeking a genealogy Pied Piper! Many thanks, Barb suburban NYC

The 1855 census (not yet online that we know of - we have a card index to it, which is what this is being typed from) says: James H Wood, 34, b Germany, here [Penfield] 14 years, wagon maker Bridget, 33, b Ireland, here 14 years Richard, son, 13, b Monroe County, here 13 years Julian, son, 8, b Monroe County, here 8 years Jane, daughter, 7, b Monroe County, here 7 years Burdena [sic], daughter, 6, b Monroe County, here 6 years James, son, 4, b Monroe County, here 4 years Frances, son, 2, b Monroe County, here 2 years The 1865 census of Penfield is online for free at: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#w=0&p=waypoint&s=waypointsOnly&c=fs:1491284 (although it is not indexed). There is a link to SOME Penfield church records: http://nyrgs.org/churchRecordsPhoto/chRecIndex.htm; the LDS has filmed the Diocese of Rochester church records down to 1910; the Penfield historian is Kathy Kanauer, Penfield Public Library, 1985 Baird Road, Penfield, NY 14526, (585) 340-8740, [email protected]; and there is an newspaper index at: http://www.libraryweb.org/~digitized/newsindex/1851-1897/Index67WHI-WOO.pdf that you might want to check.

I have traced back and found that James Henry & Bridget (also known as Bordena) had other children: Richard H. born 1842; Jane L. born 1848; Berdenia born 1849; James Yunn aka James G. born 1851 (married to Margaret E.); Frances N. born 1853 (not sure if male or female); Nella born 1855 and Mary born 1857 I am curious as to who is buried in plot 306C as the record I looked at did not have anyone listed. 305D has "2 children of James" who I assume are some of James Henry's and 306F has a "child of James, Jr." who I assume is James Yunn(James G.) Any light you can shine on these might help me in further searches. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
