Hello Annie, I cant help you much with research because I'm not very professional at this genealogy thing. But I live a couple or so hrs away from Albany Ny. You have quite a travel ahead and I have traveled alot alone in my days. I am still thankfull today for the Strangers who have helped me when I got in troublesome situations. In the spirit of passing on good deeds I would like to offer my Name and phone number In case you should need it. And of coarse give you "safe" references that I am who I am and mean no harm. I wish we ancester hunters could form some kind of alliance like that for everyone. There are organizations that do that for their members. Maybe someday one of the organizations that support ancester hunting can work out a deal with local motels and Auto garages. and Car Rentals perhaps get them to help in emergency situations. ( Well now I just added Auto garages and Car rentals ) So Why not try to work out something with Triple A insurance for genealogist and amatear ancester hunters. It would be nice if they had info at the motel of their local area that could assist the researcher. For most cases I'm sure that time is so valuble . Being a woman I would also think it beneficial if local woman could volunteer to go with these woman to graveyards in their local towns with the travler. But Id beware unless they were approved of by an organization and let the organization know the place and time this would take place. I myself am more leary to go about these places alone anymore. Perhaps I'm not the only one. This wouldnt be a bad idea for the guys either. I beleive it could be a win- win thing :) Email me Privately please for my Phone number If you choose to. And if you dont need it , Then I wish you happy and safe Hunting. .....................

My main emphasis will be on state censuses. Where do I find them in Albany? Time permitting, what else might I find there? Naturalization petitions from around 1860? Early immigration records from the 1700s? Vitals that I can get other ways I won't be doing. For those of you familiar with Albany research, suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance, Annie in San Jose, CA ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYONONDA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
