represent the interests of genealogists and genealogy organizations in New York State. The list has been initiated by the N.Y. STATE COUNCIL OF GENEALOGICAL ORGANIZATIONS. NYSCOGO was formed in 1991 to facilitate communication between genealogical and historical groups. NYSCOGO provides a forum for local and state-wide action and interest in the genealogical field. Any genealogical organization in New York State is eligible for membership, which entitles the naming of two delegates who serve as the link between NYSCOGO and the individual society. "Genealogical organization" is defined as any organization that considers itself to have a genealogical function, including, but not limited to, genealogical, lineage and historical societies, libraries or archives with local history and genealogical collections. Though we hope that your group will be interested in membership to NYSCOGO, membership is not necessary for participation on this list. It is our wish that a Rootsweb mailing list will provide a more convenient and expedient forum for discussion, communication and sharing - meeting only twice a year can not provide as great an opportunity to communicate. * *Subscribing.* Clicking on one of the shortcut links below should work, but if your browser doesn't understand them, try these manual instructions: to join *NYSCOGO-L*, send mail to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> with the single word /subscribe/ in the message subject and body.

NYSCOGO TO HOST SPRING MEETING IN ROCHESTER NY Please come join us and discuss future possibilities for NYSCOGO (projects, mission, statewide events, etc.) - you need not be a member to attend. The Monroe County Central Library in Rochester NY will be the site of the upcoming spring meeting. Mark your calendars for Saturday April 30. The library is located at 115 South Avenue, Rochester NY The business meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. followed by a roundtable discussion led by NYSCOGO co-founder Jack Ericson about the War of 1812 and the ways in which local organizations will commemorate and pay tribute to the local impact it had. Delegates whose groups have resources and publications pertaining to this period are encouraged to bring materials with them. After the discussion Larry Naukam, Coordinator of Historical Resources will give us a tour of their resources. The library's research collection includes comprehensive collections pertaining to upstate families. The family history section contains genealogies of New York State families, church and cemetery records, newspaper indexes, and basic genealogical works. In the microform area are census records (1790-1930), newspapers, and directories. Nineteenth century atlases, county histories, and biographical reviews are found in the Local History Room. Genealogists should not forget to check Special Collections to see if there are manuscripts pertaining to the places where their families lived. Rundel also has the New York State Vital Records Index. Lunch will be on our own in a private room set aside for us at the Dinosaur Barbecue restaurant located at 99 Court Street. The Best Western Rochester Marketplace Inn located at 940 Jefferson Road in Rochester NY is holding a block of rooms for our delegates at a special rate of $79 per night.

The 1887-1888 Orleans County Directory has the following entry on p.50. Onderdonk, Henry B., crockery, furniture and undertaking, 43 and 45 Main, h W Park and Academy When I was young in the 1950s, funeral homes as we know them were becoming more prominent. Before that you went to the furniture store and bought a casket (they didn't use vaults then). The furniture store owner was also a licensed embalmer. Then the casket was taken to the person's home for viewing. That is why many of the old farm houses had double front doors so that a casket could be brought in. My wife remembers as a child coming down the stairs in January 1951 to find Grandpa in his casket in their living room (the same room that we got married in). I suspect that those records went when the businesses went out of business. I haven't seen any but I will be on the lookout. People back then probably saw no reason to preserve the records of the furniture store. I checked one of the local funeral homes and their records go back to WWI. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of KATHERINE MITCHELL Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 5:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls Your Library might have  old city directories that you can check to see what Funeral Homes are  listed.  Maybe your H.

This is a courtesy message addressed to the Internet Explorer users in particular. There was a code glitch causing the lists not to display properly, showing a long string instead. This has been fixed and now showing the lists properly (taking me 5 days to fix every page.) I regret that no one bother to tell me about this problem for over a month. Please come back and visit http://www.sampubco.com/ W. David Samuelsen

Based on weekly and monthly reports I get from the search engines.. There are best results to obtain: The BEST Results?? Be mindful - all lists are always "SURNAME, given name" Three best ways with QUOTEMARKS " 1. "Surname, " (put a space after , then ") 2. "Surname, given name" (don't bother to try for middle name (middle names produce poor results) 3. ", Mary" - will work if you are not sure of married name but will produce a LOT of results! 1. Don't bother trying without quotemarks, you get more unwamted results. 2. Don't try county name, just go to the county list and you get more results there. 3. Don't try state name, just go to the state in question and browse. 4. Don't try these words - probate, guardianship, etc. Just go to appropriate sections. You get better results. http://www.sampubco.com/

Hi Liz, Nothing yet. I hired a researcher and he has gone to some of the churches in the area and is currently pursuing other sources. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I, too, am having a problem finding a marriage certificate in New York.. I know they have good census records online and have used it many times over.. but cannot find my Adin Fellows marrying Viola A.

According to her death certificate, she was buried in the Waterport Cemetery in Carleton.  Because of a fire, they don't have any records for her burial and said that a lot of the old headstones were vandalized numerous times and are now rubble.  The Carleton Town Clelrk told me that all the town records from 1885 to 1900 are missing. Does anyone know of H. B. Onderdonk or of a mortuary from that time period? If so, what would have happened to the mortuary records? Any suggestions as to where else I could search would be greatly appreciated.

Your Library might have  old city directories that you can check to see what Funeral Homes are  listed.  Maybe your H. B. Onderdonk might be listed.  --- On Fri, 6/4/10, KATHERINE MITCHELL <[email protected]> wrote: From: KATHERINE MITCHELL <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls To: [email protected] Date: Friday, June 4, 2010, 6:27 AM I'm wondering if there might be Church records (marriage, births, baptism, death) in the area where you have already found information that you can pursue?   Also, check Library in the area to see if there might be a mortuary record book -- sometimes records are donated to a library if they go out of business etc.  I wish you luck..     -- On Thu, 6/3/10, Robert Hales <[email protected]> wrote: From: Robert Hales <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, June 3, 2010, 8:54 PM -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave and Maureen Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 8:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls I have been searching for marriage information for years on my Great Grandfather, Andrew Capwell (Capwill) and have had no luck.  Andrew lived with his parents, James W. and Azubah Capwill in Kendall in 1880.  His wife to be, Jennie Burnett, lived in Shelby with her mother and Stepfather Alzina and Orrin Canfield and family.  I have checked with the Kendall Historian, Kendall Town Clerk,  Carlton Historian, Carlton Town Clerk, Shelby Town Clerk , Albion, Albany Vital Records, Buffalo Library films, Rochester Library films, Niagara County Historian.  There were no records of their marriage.

Dear Sharon,   I hope others will follow Marjorie's love for genealogy by giving to others that seek information for their family trees.  She was a great lady and so helpful to everyone.    I love the NYORLEAN website as it has helped me in putting some of the pieces together for my family tree; especially the Census records.  I hope it continues to grow in her name and memory.  Sincerely, Kay Mitchell from MI   --- On Tue, 5/18/10, Sharon Kerridge <[email protected]> wrote: From: Sharon Kerridge <[email protected]> Subject: [NYORLEAN] Marge Schultz To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, May 18, 2010, 10:30 AM IN MEMORIAL Marjorie L.
