    3. I just added 30 more pages of Ogdensburg Methodist church baptism records. Some of these list exact birthdates of people born before 1850 - always a hard area to research. Also the full names of parents (although typically not the maiden name of mother). These are unindexed pdf images so have fun with the quirky handwriting. The images enlarge easily with the Adobe reader (free download if you don't already have it). If you think you had relatives living in Odgensburg in the 1840 to 1875 year range you may want to cruise through the records. Start at www.usgenweb.org, click 'New York' then click 'choose a county' and select St. Lawrence county. From the first county page use the 'select a link' drop down list and select 'church', then 'St. Lawrence County Church Records'. From that page you will see a link to the Ogdensburg images. If you have not visited the county page or if it's been a while *all* the links are worth checking as your time permits. New material is added often. If you are from the north country and see the phrase 'immersed in the Oswegatchie' a shiver might run through you as it did with me! If you have (or know someone who has) old church records that can be added to the site, please contact me. Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland
