For those of you wanting to find out about Rensselaer newspapers and their availability on microfilm, here is a link to the NY State Library page that deals with Rensselaer newspapers: http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/142.htm Note that it appears they will make copies of the microfilms. I'm not sure whether they charge you to purchase these, or make them available to your local library through inter-library loan. I have emailed them, and will post the answer to the list when I get it. Best Wishes, Judy Herbert

That's a great website, Judy. Thanks for sharing it with us. You can go back to all NY counties, if you are researching other counties. Last month when I was at the state library, I found the workers very helpful. The library gets easier to use with each visit. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
