Roll call - I'm here researching Kemmy, Howard,O'Neill, Fitzgerald, Keough, Reagan, Sennett (Sinnot), Fremgen, Fogarty, Hunt Also was wondering if anyone has heard of a limerick about the people of Rensselaer Starts off something like this- Fire, fire said Mrs. McGuire, up the hill stood Bill McGill, around the corner----------------------don't remember anymore of it but mentions a lot of Rensselaer residents probably around the early 1900's Christine Fremgen

Barbara and Rensselaer researchers, I am still out here researching. I am in California and do not get to the Rensselaer/Albany area often. I still have relatives in the area who have agreed to do some look ups. I also do not post often but I read everything that comes across. I truly enjoy the history that is presented on the list and the web sites such as Barbara's and Cliff Lamere's among others that slip my mind at this writing. If I can help in any way, I will gladly do so. Regards, Chuck Casale Researching: Casale, Casazza, Biagiotti, Bianchi, Vickery, Stellar, McNamara, Munson, Rowe, Haefele, Deer and spelling variations of the same.

I was just wondering what happened to all of the Rensselaer County researchers - maybe we should do a roll call.

I am trying to locate all existing copies of the Schuylerville Standard newspaper, which was published in Schuylerville New York. Many early issues through 1903 were microfilmed a few years ago, but we were not able to locate many issues printed after 1903. There is a possibility that the New York State Newspaper project will microfilm more of the back issues of the Schuylerville Standard if we can locate a significant number of issues. Please let me know if you have any copies of the Schuylerville Standard, and which issues you do have. Also, would you be willing to loan your copies for microfilming, if there is money to film this newspaper?

Where can I find out about burials in Center Berlin Baptist Cemetery? Is there an address? Thanks for any help. Lois Florida

I am wondering if some kind soul could find out what the weather was like in Troy, NY on March 15, 1952 so I can tell my sister. Her birthday is then, but she won't care if I am a wee bit late in telling her. . Also any neat happenings on that day ... Thank you in advance' Sharon

I just looked at my original Email and should have said that the entrance to Old Mount Ida is on Pawling Ave. before you get to Congress St. (not the other way around, as I had indicated). Do you know when "new" Mt. Ida was started?

Yes you do come to Old Mt. Ida as you come up Congress St. To reach New Mt. Ida you stay left at the first intersection onto Pinewoods Ave. just past Old Mt. Ida and go a couple of blocks in. It is a much smaller cemetary. Much more congested. Old Mt. Ida is spread out and no longer fenced in, it had a beautiful black wrought iron fence that the city took down a couple of years ago. New Mt. Ida has a chain link fence surrounding it. There is also a Jewish burial ground within the chain link fence, but seperated once you get inside with older fencing. Kris

Thanks for the info and suggestions everyone, I appreciate it! Jeremy http://jeremyjtaylor.tripod.com/genes.html

Hello All, I have recently updated my website at www.angelfire.com/ga4/myhayes_family. I have added the names of nearly 2,200 individuals. I have also added about 150 links from my New York county pages. There are many early Dutch families. I would like to hear from some of my cousins who are researching some of these families. There is a list of 448 of my direct ancestors on the Ancestors page. Richard From the shores of Grand Traverse Bay

Jeremy, There are three microfilms available at the Troy Public Library and also through the LDS FHCs of the burials in the Troy Public Burial Grounds 1833-1928. These are the ledgers kept by the superintendents of the public cemeteries (although there are entries for "Catholic burial grounds"); this is a comprehensive record of almost all burials. Some entries are more detailed than others and the handwriting varied considerably between superintendents. Burial plots are not recorded but at least it is some comfort to know where an ancestor was buried. These records also are a look at life in Troy at the time: causes of death, ages at death, places of birth, etc. It is also heartbreaking: so many stillborn babies found in the river! It helps if you have a timeframe in mind, as the films cover different periods. I found them to be very helpful in locating death info when there were no vital records. Good luck.

The Mt. Ida Cemetery that I know is on Congress St. near Pawling Ave.--I think that's referred to as "Old Mt. Ida." I called a few years ago and was told there were no records available, at least for the time period I was looking (mid 1800's). I also have an ancestor buried there but could not locate a stone for him. There is a preservation society for this cemetery, and you can call Brant Caird at 518-274-0418. Some of Mt. Ida's records are on LDS film 1434105. Also, some of these are posted on our Renss.
