I called the FHC and alas....the census has no index. So I'm also up the creek without a paddle! Anyway, I am excited about the directories though. If anyone has the index to the 1850 Rensselaer County, please let me know if you can do a lookup for me. So, if you have a lookup request, please have the page info too. They said the census will remain here for 1 month, so I plan on going back. If you requested a census lookup today without the page info, I can't help you BUT I will check the directories. I'm going to order the burial records for Rensselaer county today too! Thanks, Patti.....I'm off to FHC! -----Original Message----- From: Patti Smith [mailto:PSmith@fmd-inc.com] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2001 8:46 AM To: NYRENSSE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Rensselaer] Lookups Happy Thursday fellow listers! I got the call yesterday afternoon from the FHC informing me that my fiche and film are in! Needless to say you can guess where I am spending my lunch. I would like to offer lookups for the 1842 and 1848 city directories for Troy. I can also do lookups for the 1850 census for Troy as well. I'm not sure how the census works as far as having an index or not. I will find out when I get there. Depending on the amount of requests I get, I will attempt to do them all today. I will also be going tomorrow and even this weekend so eventually I should be able to get to them.
