Hi, Looking for information on William Swift of Nottingham, England, his son was John Swift born in 1815. John married Jane Weloh. John had a son by the name of Henry Swift who was born in Orange County, New York in 1843. Any help in finding this family would be most appreciated. Thanks Larry

Hi List, I hope this question isn't too off the subject, but does anyone know what protection, if any, cemeteries on private property have? Is there a guarantee of access to family members? Assurance that graves and gravestones won't be disturbed? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've looked online, but mostly have found only information on church cemeteries and cemeteries run by associations. Sue ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dear Friends and Colleagues, In the next two months, Governor Pataki of New York, will decide on the image to go on a special United States Mint quarter that will commemorate New York State history. The State of New Jersey recently had the image of "Washington Crossing the Delaware" on their commemorative quarter. The image of Henry Hudson's 1609 Dutch ship, de Halve Maen (HALF MOON) is one of three finalists for the honor to appear on New York States' quarter. The other two contestants are the Statue of Liberty and the Battle of Saratoga. I am writing to ask that you send a letter or e-mail of support to Governor Pataki for the HALF MOON's image to appear on New York States' commemorative quarter. As a token of appreciation for your writing the Governor, our museum will send you an 8 1/2" x 11" color glossy photograph of the HALF MOON under full sail. Governor George E. Pataki State Capitol Albany, NY 12224 or e-mail gov.pataki@chamber.state.ny.us Some of the things you might mention in your letter are: (1) The voyage of the HALF MOON led to the founding of New York State. As a result of this voyage, the Dutch established the first European settlements in the State of New York with a trading post built near Albany in 1614 and settlements in Albany and New York City in 1624. (2) New York States' colors, orange and blue, derive from the Dutch colors flown on the HALF MOON. (3) New York States great sports teams, the New York Yankees and the New York Knickerbockers, derive their names from the Dutch influence brought by the voyage of the HALF MOON. (4) In contrast to the English colonies of New England and Virginia, New York was founded by the Dutch on the principles of religious and cultural toleration. There were over 20 foreign languages being spoken on the streets of New Amsterdam, now New York City, in 1628. The HALF MOON had a multicultural crew. (4) The first public school was founded in Dutch New Amsterdam in 1628. It still survives as the Collegiate School in New York City. In contrast, many European countries discouraged public schools, restricting schooling to the aristocracy. (5) Under Dutch law, women often retained their maiden names and were allowed to own property, run businesses, and administer estates. Women lost many of these rights under English law. (6) Many towns, cities, rivers, and geographical names in New York State derive from the early Dutch influence begun by the HALF MOON, including Staten Island, Long Island, Brooklyn, Nassau County, Orange County, Batavia, Flatbush, Kinderhook, Yonkers, Schuyler Falls, Guilderland, Watervliet, Wallkill, Poestenkill, Rensselaer, Claverack, Catskill, New Utrecht, Coney Island, Buswick, Bowery, Wall Street to name a few. (7) Our currency, the "dollar", derives its name from the Dutch coin, the "daalder", used onboard the HALF MOON. (8) Our national nickname "Yankee" originates from the Dutch word meaning "Johnny" used in New York State. Thank you for anything you can do on behalf of the HALF MOON.

Help needed. I am trying to find information on my grandmother, Ethel Marie Persell Brink. The only information I have on her is her name and age as 21,on my father's birth certificate, April 10, 1917, born New Windsor, mailing address as P.O. Rock Tavern. We were in Newburgh the first couple weeks of October doing research and found nothing about her. We searched libraries, book after book, court houses, cemeteries, and genealogical societies, town clerk and village clerks, but still nothing. She died when dad was young and he was sent to live with an unrelated family and attended school at Yankee Lake, which I haven't searched yet. His father, Russell Brink Sr. was at home with his parents in the 1920 Orange census, but nothing on dad and his mother. Any suggestions on where to look, would be greatly appreciated. I live in Louisiana so it is not possible to search on the local level. I sent for marriage records for her and my grandfather but they only found one for his first! marriage, to Anna Owens in 1915. And when I sent for death records they searched 1924-1931 but found nothing. Thanks. Grace Brink Foster ray1@cp-tel.net

Charees, MANY thanks for your reply with steps to take in trying to find my mystery CAMPBELL. I recently went to Orange County and have a detailed County map which I will use to narrow down my search per your instructions. Also, I have already found Abagail's father's will - he mentioned her, but not the name fo her husband. (Also, there were a few grandchildren, last name CAVANAUGH, mentioned. Same type of situation! But, one mystery surname at a time, for now). Anyway, I appreciate your instructions. I'm sure it will give me the boost I needed to start on this branch. I think these steps will also prove useful with other research as well. Thanks again! Beth

Hello Daniel, Thanks so much for your 1st article! I have so much to learn, so please keep them coming. It is so thoughtful of you to take time to do this for those of us who are fairly new to searching our "roots", and for everyone else on the list, who needs a good guide to keep them on task. Best regards, Barbara Jones Pulley Southeastern NC

Hello all, Where is the best place to request marriage records in Orange County? According to the obits I have for both of them, they were married in either Newburg or Middletown Sept 4 1886. Harriett (hattie) Wright was born in Newburg in 1872. Orliff Doughty was born in Liberty Falls 1865. I'm trying to confirm their parentage(s) and would like to see if any marriage record exists that might give me a clue as to who their folks were. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Jim in Texas

Hi List, Two questions: 1. How far back do marriage records go in the City of Newburgh? 2. Naturalizations - are they available by writing to the county court or is there an index somewhere? Thanks.

Dear list, I have a dozen or so articles that I wrote for a newspaper column a couple years ago to explain genealogy to the general public and to act as a basic course to get people started. Much of the material is what we use when we teach the basic course at the Genealogical Society. I have skipped article one as it merely talks about the Society and I have done slight editing to make them compatible with this list. Much will serve as a reminder to those of us who sometimes forget to do the basic items when we start a new line (myself included). I was sent a tip from a reader regarding article 2 to remind you and ask again questions of those elderly relatives when you revisit them. They just might remember more the second time around -- you no doubt got them thinking about things after your first visit. FAMILY TIES Tracing your ancestry -- the next step after gathering up the information at home and from relatives. by Dan Burrows Once you have done the preliminary work of gathering up all the genealogical material around the house from family bibles, address books, old letters, photographs, and interviews of the more elderly relatives, you are ready to venture out to libraries, town halls, county records centers, cemeteries, and more. (For more information on how to get started, see "Family Ties" article 2) We are now going to discuss research libraries and what you might expect to find. It is very important to remember that you should always research and do your detective work close to the source of the problem you are trying to solve. If Grandma was born in Horseheads, NY, that is where you want to look for information. You might find a tidbit of information in a local library, but to get the most benefit of your time, it always pays to go close to the source. Your second best source would be your State Library which usually houses information from all areas of the state. The first thing to do in this instance, would be to locate Horseheads. An atlas or even better yet, a New York State gazetteer is a great starting point. French's 1860 Gazetteer and Spafford's 1824 Gazetteer are the most useful for NYS research. These are available in most libraries. You would find out that Horseheads is in Chemung County, except that prior to the county line changes in May of 1823, it was in Tioga County. Knowing the county is important when looking for wills and deeds to aid in your research. The next step is to locate research facilities near Horseheads. Your local library or genealogical society can help you. You would discover that the Steele Memorial Library in Elmira, NY has an excellent genealogical collection as does the Chemung County Historical Society. There are directories to these libraries and the Genealogical Helper Magazine published by Everton Publishers (available at many libraries) publishes a list once a year of most places to do your research -- listed first by country, then state, and then alphabetically. Suppose you cannot travel to where Grandma was born. The US postal service is one of the great genealogical tools at your disposal. Simply write a one paragraph letter outlining your problem. Example: I wish to learn the parents of my great grandmother Mary Smith who married John Jones. She was born in Horseheads 25 Nov 1866. Can you help me or direct to where I might find information. Keep it short and sweet, send them a SASE (stamped self-addressed envelope) and a couple of bucks to cover copying costs or donation. Keep track of who you have written to and whether or not you received a response. I wrote a letter to a Genealogical Society in Ontario, Canada and the volunteer who was assigned to my letter happened to have written a book on the family I was researching and she copied many cemetery records that were of great help to me. She also sold me one of her books. I once visited the State Vital Records Department in Concord, New Hampshire only to find a distant cousin with whom I had corresponded with for 2 years was in charge that day and she let me look at what ever records I wanted without restraint. I later discovered she had been to a seminar where I was a speaker and she had sat in the front row. No wonder she looked familiar. You will soon discover that the Genealogical World is very small and that all these "nice genealogists" will cross your path over and over again. Assuming that you are able to travel, bear in mind that every research facility is unique. The scope and focus of materials they house will vary greatly in addition to the amount of resources, their form, and their availability. The worst type of facility has "closed stacks" where you must request books, files, and other materials and wait for someone to retrieve them for you. Places where you have access to the materials yourself will reap you the most benefits and give you the most research for your time. Examples of types of libraries are: 1.Town/village or other municipal Libraries 2.Genealogical or HistoricalSocieties * 3.Family History Libraries (Mormon Church) 4.State Libraries and archives 5.Library of Congress and National Archives 6.Family Organizations or Private Collections * Some Societies do not have their own libraries and house their collections within other libraries. Before visiting a library or research facility for the first time, talk to someone who has been there or better yet go with them. Call for a general idea of the type of collection they have. Ask for directions, hours of operation and fees (some historical societies do charge a small fee to use their library), parking accommodations, photocopy policies and prices, places to purchase meals or to eat your brown bag lunch, other nearby places to research, and by all means ask if they have open or closed stacks. As stated before, the closer to the source or problem, the better chance of finding something. Have a specific research plan and stick to it. Plan which families and what problems your are trying to solve. If you strike out, have some ideas jotted down for alternative research. When you first arrive at a research facility, find a knowledgeable staff member to give you a tour of the collection and how to retrieve it. Let them show you the card catalogue, use of the computer, specialty files and extra projects and resources. Whenever photocopying materials at a far away library be sure to get the title page, name of library and call number. Suppose you get home and discover you are missing page 23 of a book and it just happens to contain the information you wanted. You can write the library, send them a dollar and an SASE, give them the information about the book, and ask them to send you the copy of the page you missed. Before going to a far away library or other research facility, visit your local Genealogical Society research room.Learn what types of resources are out there and get a general idea of what you might find at a genealogical library. You will usually find town, county, and state histories, family genealogies in book form or files, microfilms of census and other records, church records, cemetery transcriptions, maps, will abstracts, military information, and newspapers on microfilm just to mention a few. There are so many things to look at in a genealogical library that 6 hours will seem like a half hour. Plan on spending a few hours and be sure to take your notes and charts with you.

Hi, Orange County friends-- I have been intrigued by the mentions of Dunns on the list recently...I have a huge stack of Dunn photographs and no clue how they connect to my family! Many of them have names and can be dated to general time frames (because of Civil War tax stamps, for example), but I have no idea who they are. I would love to talk directly with Dunn researchers about these Dunns...it seems to me they were connected to Orange County and other parts of New York, and some of them went West to San Francisco at some point as well. Let me know if you would like a list of names and dates or descriptions!

Dear list, I have a dozen or so articles that I wrote for a newspaper column a couple years ago to explain genealogy to the general public and to act as a basic course to get people started. Much of the material is what we use when we teach the basic course at the Genealogical Society. I have skipped article one as it merely talks about the Society and I have done slight editing to make them compatible with this list. Much will serve as a reminder to those of us who sometimes forget to do the basic items when we start a new line (myself included). FAMILY TIES Tracing your ancestry -- what you can do to get started. by Dan Burrows Have you ever wondered about your ancestors -- who they were, where they lived, and what they did. Finding out just might be easier than you think and relatives (sometimes very distant relatives) may be waiting for some tiny bit of information that you happen to have. I remember asking my grandmother about her family when I was a child. She was one of 15 children, born and raised in Erie County, NY. I remember the tales of the hard times -- she worked at a Borden's factory soldering cans of milk closed for pennies an hour and most of that was turned over to the family for room and board. She told me about her parents and her aunts and uncles and I wrote it all down and stuffed it in the family bible which she kept in the living room. Thirty years later, my father's first cousin in Illinois (he would be my first cousin, one generation removed) wrote to me asking questions about the bible which had already been handed down to me. When I dug it out, there were my notes I had written. Grandma had passed away 5 years previous so the notes had become even more valuable. Needless to say it was shortly after that I caught the genealogy fever. Since that time I have dug through 375 years of records in this country and learned a great deal about the generations before me. My wife so often reminds me that I sometimes spend more time with the dead than I do with the living. What I had done as a child was actually the first step in preparing to start my genealogy --- gathering up all the facts that can be found around the house and interviewing elderly family members. It is amazing where family bibles, photos, old letters and other fact-filled goodies will show up. My grandmother's address book is a gold mine of genealogical facts including birth, death and marriage dates. The addresses she had kept for over 40 years, crossed out and changed, let me know where my relatives had moved from place to place. Old newspaper clippings shoved here and there and old Christmas and birthday cards often contain good little notes. Once you start working on your genealogy you become an official family detective. It is time to start gathering all the tidbits of information and piecing them together. It is a good time to pick up a some charts which are available at most Genealogical Societies. Take a blank chart and photocopy it or even make up your own version. If you have a computer, a genealogical program will make them for you. It is also a good time to get a large notebook and start writing down your sources for all the information you gather. It is best to have a section for each surname you research. Five years from now you can look back at your notes and see what books you have looked at and whom you have talked to, etc. When interviewing elderly (or even not so elderly) relatives, take a prepared list of questions, an inconspicuous tape recorder, and all your patience. Be relaxed and let them be relaxed. Give them something to think about for a while and you will be amazed what they can remember an hour or even a day later. Ask them about their parents, grandparents and the family stories that their grandparents use to tell. This brings us to a subject that you will most certainly run across. Family traditions are stories that have been handed down for generations -- sometimes in writing and sometimes by word of mouth. If you have ever played telephone, you will understand why we must be careful about family traditions. Things have a way of being exaggerated and glorified each time a story is told. The story that was handed down in my family written by a sister to my great-great grandfather stating she had learned this information from her uncle. She claimed that her grandfather Thomas Burrows the immigrant in 1783 was a Captain in Col. Livingston's Regiment and was severely wounded at the battle of Ticonderoga during the Revolutionary War. I later proved that he was a private and it seems that absolutely no one was injured in that battle. He got the nick-name Captain from being a ship rigger when he lived in New York City after the War. I have proved most of the other information contained in the tradition to be true. Once you have gathered up all the information available from family sources, you can start to fill out those charts. I am sure by this time you have gathered up many birth, death, and marriage dates along with the places they happened. Start with yourself and record your parents, your grandparents and your great grandparents. If you do not have the information -- leave that part of the chart blank for now. It won't be long and you will begin to make a pedigree of yourself. One important factor when filling in names on a chart -- females are recorded by their maiden name (i.e., name at birth) and not their married names. After making a pedigree chart, the next step is to make family charts (known as family group sheets). Every family chart has a mother, father, and a list of all the children and perhaps the husband or wife of each child. The charts have a place to fill in all that information when known. It is OK to leave blank spaces where the information is not known. Now that we have taken the first few steps, it's time to dig out the typewriter and drop a note to some of those aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives. If you think they can fill in some blanks for you, just send them a copy of your chart with a kind note asking them to look it over and add anything they might know. You can even supply a stamped self-addressed envelope (known as an SASE) to make it more convenient for them to reply. Ask them if they have some pictures you could look at some day. When you feel you have learned everything possible from things around the house, pictures, letters, and relatives it might be time to venture out. A trip to a library, town hall, newspaper files, historical or genealogical societies and even a cemetery or two. If you are anxious to learn more about how to go about it, there are a couple of especially good "how to" genealogy books available. Searching For Your Ancestors by Doane and Bell is great for beginners and The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy by Val Greenwood can take you a little further. Both are available in many libraries or you can purchase them from the Orange County Genealogical Society, 101 Main Street, Goshen, NY 10924.
