Hi, Kelley, I can't offer help about Stony Point, but I did recently discover a way you may find your ancestors' immigration information during those unindexed years. The website http://genweb.net/~gen-cds/cdlist.html is a site where volunteers will look up names on cds of indexed information for you. Go to the webpage, click on the link called "On-Line Family Finder Index," input your ancestor's name, and if a CD number comes up, you can then request one of the volunteers with that CD to look up the citation for you. I found some ancestors' immigrations there that I have never before been able to locate. Hope the same for you. My apologies to the list if this is off-topic, but it is such a good resource, thought some other listers here might want to know, too.

(No indexes immigration lists). I have looked for passenger lists, but there are hundreds of films for this time period. I think they may have settled for a short period of time in Stony Point. They were wine makers in Germany, immigrated to NY, then left for California and bought property there in 1855/56. They named their vineyard in California, Stony Point Vineyard and there is a Stony Point road which lead to their property. Peter Grass died before getting to California, so I thought he might be buried in Stony Point. Is there any obituaries or death indexes for this area? Or many be a cemetery index dating to that period? Also, I have been told that this part of New York looks very like the Rhine area of Germany. Can someone confirm that? §(~¿~ )§ Kelley Kishpaugh Cottonwood, AZ scubado@verdenet.com <
