I have a Charles Lester, age 22, as one of 14 young men in his age range living in Schenectady and attending college in the Federal 1870 Census. Prior to that he had served in the Civil Way. Does anyone know what colleges were located in Schnectady in that time period? Do they still exist and what would be the possibility of locating any records on students from that time period? TIA Corinne

Hi List, Sorry about the link confusion. I do use Outlook for my e-mail, and as Bob pointed out, this program is known to chop links at the margin, making them unusable. Thanks Bob for linking the Scotia Church records on the Schenectady Digital Archive site and providing an easy answer to all this broken link mania. On a lighter front, the Churchyard Cemetery records are almost done and should go up within the next week. Hope you find who you are looking for!

Hi Again... One of the URL's I posted previously got split in a weird way by my mail program and caused errors in some browsers.

Hi Genealogy Friends, I have taken a break from Glenville Censuses for a while and moved on to Scotia First Reformed Church records! So far I have finished transcribing and proofreading these sections: Charter Members of the Church, Infant Baptisms from 1835 - 1881 and Marriages from 1835 - 1899. Expect more sections to come within the next month or two. Here is the URL for these records: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~vanepsgenealogy/ scotiachurch.html I also have other local history resources online at this URL: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~vanepsgenealogy/docs.html#local Have a great week!

It was with a sense of deja vu that I saw our site become unavailable for a day and a half shortly after I announced new resources. :-) I'd like to think this was the volume of your response or perhaps computer perversity, but I could see a very few people getting through, so it may have been a continuation of the sporadic Internet squirreliness I've observed in the last week. Anyway... if you tried and couldn't get through, you shouldn't have a problem now.

Good evening folks, just subscribed to this list.I have been searching for one Eddie Greenwood for about 12 years.I just recived a lead pointing to Schenectady N.Y. --here's what I was told- Eddie-- Edward Greenwood fataly injured when his hauling boat hit a dock " he fell into wal dust" about mid to late 1930s. Any assit or further leads appreciated. Thanks, Bill Greenwood - R.I. mdave4@earthlink.net

Greetings to all the list members. Last year was pretty wild for me (babies will do that to you), so some projects didn't get as far along as I'd hoped, but work continued in the background and I do have some exciting new resources to announce. We now have a labor history page which collects some material from various places on the site into one place, and also gives pointers to some print records. Thanks to the hard work of list member Kathy Shouse, a volume of Vale Cemetery records will shortly be available. If you've enjoyed Jonathan Pearson's _First Settlers_ book, then get ready for his _History of the Schenectady Patent_! After a year of proofreading and editing, the first parts will go online in the next month or so. Now for the newly available items: <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/resources/pascucci/index.html> _Electric City Immigrants_ is Robert Pascucci's Ph.D. dissertation on Polish and Italian immigrants in Schenectady from 1880 to 1930. The product of years of research in newspapers, the census and the archives of government and religious organizations, this book provides a wealth of detail on the experiences of two immigrant communities during a period of industrial glory for Schenectady. Copyright restrictions being what they are, it's not easy to find recent material online, so we are most grateful to Dr. Pascucci for giving us permission to make his work available on our site. <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/hmgfm/index.html> _Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs_ is a 4-volume, 1900-page set published in 1911. It covers families in Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady and Washington Counties. The first volume went online at the end of 2002, and I have now updated it to about two-thirds of the way through the second volume. Indexes by county are available for the nine mentioned as well as Schoharie and Warren, but the value of this work extends far beyond its stated scope; the lines traced extend to most parts of New York State, plus New England, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our version of HMGFM has been one of the most popular sections of our site, so I hope you find something useful in this new information.

I've "rescued" an old bible belonging to the CHRISLER Family of New York. The bible was published in 1846 and contains family history entries from 1816 to 1891 including the following: Marriages: · William CHRISLER and Caroline SCHERMERHORN married at Rotterdam, Schenectady Co., June 2nd 1842 · William J. CHRISLER married Anna Louise TANNER, Oct 17th 1878 before the Rev. Dr. LORD of Cooperstown Births: · William CHRISLER born January 11th 1816 · Caroline SCHERMERHORN born June 2nd 1819 · Anna Elizabeth CHRISLER born June 28th 1843 · Anelisebeth CHRIS. born June 28th 1843 · Isaac N. CHRISLER born in Schenectady, April 7th 1845 · Isack CHRISLER born April 7, 1845 · Amelia Catharine CHRISLER born in the City of Schenectady, May 9th, 1849 · William James CHRISLER born in the City of Schenectady, Sept 14th 1851 · Catharine Amelia CHRISLER born in the City of Schenectady, July 31st 1856 · Adele CHRISLER born in the City of Schenectady, Oct 14th 1859 Deaths: · Isaac N. CHRISLER died Nov 27, 1889 · William CHRISLER died Dec 31st 1889 · Anna Elizabeth CHRISLER WING died March 9th 1891 Other Items: · Portion of Eulogy for Aaron B. GROUT with the Notation “Frank” Based on limited research I find William & Caroline CHRISTLER and three of their children, Elizabeth, Isaac N., and Adelia, living in Schenectady during the 1880 census. Also find William & Annie L. CHRISTLER living with a niece Annie HARDY in Schenectady during the same 1880 census. I believe that Anna Louise TANNER was b. 27 Feb 1851 in Cooperstown, NY to parents Perry G. TANNER and Elizabeth C. MARCHISI. I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this precious family heirloom can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Ok...here goes........ My mother's side: My Jordans came from ??? Northern Ireland. Family story says it was during the potato famine, and that my great grandfather (WILLIAM JORDAN) b. dec 9, 1864, was born on the ship coming over. What ship? The first confirmed census is 1900 with William married to (#2) SOPHIA KIMMERLE (b. June 1872), her father (JACOB M. KUMMERLE) from Germany and mother (CATHERINE K. BAUS) from Switzerland, imm. ca. 1852-6 living in West Troy (Watervliet) NY. on 25th Street, and later onto 10th Avenue. Who was first wife? My goal...as you can see from the Jordan line is try to figure it all out...William father is supposed to be a William, but the 1880 and 1870 census have 2 different families...one married to a Mary C from Scotland and the other married to a Sara from New Foundland, both living in Troy. Seeing how the Kimmerle line originally moved to Troy from Yonkers...I am assuming that my Jordan's lived in Troy also. Which line is my g-grandfather from? I have talked to Jordan's from Green Island..can't match them up. I have burial records for all the Jordans and Kimmerle from Albany Rural, it doesn't help... Jordan's: William b. Dec 1864 (stone says 1865) d. Jan 23, 1923 married 1st: ????? sons: William b. November 1888 John b. July 1890 married 2nd: Sophia Ki(u)mmerle 1893 children: ARTHUR KIMMERLE b. Apr 1894 d. 1928 (electrocuted) married ADA MC CLELAND (sp?) FLORENCE E. b. Aug 1896 d. ? married MICHAEL SOLTIS FRANCES (FANNIE) b. 1903 d. 1980's married ALBERT BERRY GLADYS b. 1906 d. 1980's married SAMUEL VETOICH ALMA LETTS b. Dec 26, 1909 d. 1994 mrd LOUIS F. SMITH ANNE b. 1916 d. ?? married DONALD LEWIS Lived at 2424 10th Avenue, which is still occupied be Frances' and Albert's son. Other names in the family: Mother's side: SMITH, CRAFT, BAUS Father's side: WALKER, CHISAMORE, HALL, HARLOW, WEATHERHEAD Thanks Pat for a great idea, Lauri --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
