I am happy to announce that due to the dedication of some subbers from this list, we have completely transcribed the 6th ward. This includes 4,557 entries (people), 817 families and 426 dwellings and the Troy Poorhouse. I want to publicly thank Lynn Grice, Bob McConihe, and MaryAnn McConnell for all the good work they did to make this possible. We are now working on the 12th ward. I will eventually get all the census data I have from both the 1880 and 1870 census up on the GenExchange website for Rensselaer (see URL below). They are currently updating their system and when that is done, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I will be putting it up gradually on my freepages genealogy site (see URL below). So far I just have up the Poorhouse. I have the A's ready to go but I am having some technical problems and I hope to straighten them up today. When it goes up on my site, you will see the following info: surname, first name, age, occupation, address, where born, where parents born, census page. If you find someone who you think is yours, I can send you the census page for your records, but in return will ask you to transcribe another page for the project. Our goal is to get the whole 1880 and 1870 Troy censuses on line (Also have Lansingburgh, Schaghticoke, Hoosick, Grafton, Pittstown and Petersburg.) The first emphasis is on the 1880 census because no index exists for that census. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA GenExchange Rensselaer County and Westchester County Coordinator http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?state=ny&county=rensselaer http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?state=ny&county=westchester Researching: Connors/O’Connor, Flynn, Campbell, McEntee, Carter, Booth, Boyle, Smith, O’Rourke, Cullinan, Martin, Manning, Fahey, Healey http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~nymets/
