Is anyone familiar with the Ketelhuyn/Ketel family of Albany and Schnectady? I am trying to straighten out the parentage of Margarita KETELUYN, wife of Dirk Joachim VAN DER HEYDEN (b.1725). Dirk VDH was the son of Joachim VDH (1700-1746) and Anna KETELHUYN (1696-1726). Anna was the eldest dau. of Daniel KETELHUYN & Deborah VIELE. Dirk married in 1754 at Albany to Margarita KETELHUYN of Schachticoke. Some sources have Margarita listed as Margarita KETELHUYN, b. 1724, youngest dau. of Daniel KETELHUYN & Deborah VIELE. I know there wasn't alot of choices for spouses, but is it even possible that Dirk could have married his Aunt? I think not - can someone confirm this? Other sources have this Margarita married to Christian MULLER. It seems more likely that Dirk's wife was Margarita KETELHUYN, b. 1735, dau. of Joachim KETELHUYN & Eva VROOMAN. Joachim was a son of Daniel KETELHUYN & Deborah VIELE, which would have made Dirk and Margarita first cousins. They named children - Joachim, Daniel, & Eva. However, Pearson in "First Settlers of Schenectady" (1873) lists Margarita (b1735) as wife of Gerritt VAN NESS! Can anyone shed light on this confusion? Are there any definitive sources which might clear this confusion up.

If the death took place in Niskayuna, it is registered in Niskayuna. If the person was a patient in a hospital, it probably was the city, even if he lived in Niskayuna. Ann

You are right. I, for one, have been busily putting data from Schenectady and Albany into my data base. Eventually, the historical society will be the beneficiary of the information for all the twigs I pursue. A question - if a death took place in Niskayuna, would that record be in Schenectady city? A look-up offer. I have a book which has the transcriptions of the St. Joseph's marriages. I could do look-ups if someone needs it. Please be specific as to the name and not a general surname look-up. The transcription usually includes the date of the marriage, parents names, sometimes date and place of baptism.

> I have not received any messages from this list in > days - is there something wrong? One of Rootsweb's mail servers was down, resulting in delayed messages. This isn't a very busy list at any time, and I think (judging from some genealogy lists I'm on) people are very, very busy and not saying much. Or maybe I'm just generalizing from my own situation. :-) Bob Sullivan <rsullivan@sals.edu> Schenectady County Public Library (NY) <http://www.scpl.org/> Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/>

Barbara, your message came through. Most of my genealogy lists have slowed considerably over the past year. Either we're all shared out, or there just isn't that much new information becoming available these days.

I have located one burial at this cemetery in 1883, and I wondered in what condition the gravestones are presently in? Not being aware of the current conditions, and/or how big the cemetery actually is, would it be possible to organise a photo of this stone? Ideally I suppose it would suit someone living close nearby, but if someone was willing, and we could come to some arrangement, I would be happy to recoup their expenses for doing so. I guess this really hinges on how big the cemetery is, and if a map of the interments is available. Many thanks from Tassie Dave Cripps David Cripps <dcripps@iprimus.com.au> Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

Dear Barbara, Thanks very much for the info. I think I will contact the Church. The problem is I have received conflicting info about who has the record. About a year ago, I called the Rotterdam Library and they said that many of the Rotterdam records were kept in Schenectady. I have also check the Schenectady County Clerk website and it basically says they don't do genealogy. If the Church can't help me, then I will call the Rotterdam Town Clerk next.

Dear Richard, Thank you very much for the info. Even though it doesn't go to 1907, my grandmother was a Schuyler and most of them are buried in the Woestina Cemetery.

I am looking for high school year books for Schenectady city for 1917-1921 and 1928-1935. Can anyone suggest where I might find these and also, what high school students would attended who lived in Ward 6 and Ward 8 (Emmett st) in the above years. Thankyou for any information.

Another good place to check would be the Schenectady Historical Society, located at 32 Washington, Schenectady, NY. 12305. Ph: 518-374-0263 I also notice as I am copying this from the calendar I bought from them that they have a website and e-mail, which is more convenient to contact them than by snail mail. Website: http://www.schist.org E-mail: librarian@schist.org I was also just there on my trip back East in July. There is more local and area information there than one could digest if they spent their 3 week vacation in the library there!!! Sally, it might be worthwhile just to e-mail them first, rather than waiting on an answer from the man at the church. I do remember that there were, in fact, many Schylers in the cemetery. Good luck!

I think I will contact the Church. The problem is I have received conflicting info about who has the record. About a year ago, I called the Rotterdam Library and they said that many of the Rotterdam records were kept in Schenectady. I have also check the Schenectady County Clerk website and it basically says they don't do genealogy. If the Church can't help me, then I will call the Rotterdam Town Clerk next.

Dear Friends, I am looking for the 1907 marriage of my grandparents and I need some direction. It is my understanding that even though the Woestina Church is in Rotterdam, the marriage record is probably kept by the Schenectady City Clerk. Is this true? Also, has anyone ever contacted the church itself for records. I know many churches don't have the staff to process genealogy requests, and this is a particularly small church. Thank you.

Sally, When I was in NY last month, I visited the church cemetery, looking for familiar names of ancestors. There were a couple of guys mowing the lawns who gave me a number of a retired gentleman who had the records of the cemetery. He may possibly also have the marriage records. He may be contacted at the church. I don't remember his name but just address the request to the church: Woestina Reformed Church 1397 Main St. Rotterdam Junction, NY 12150 Ph: 518- 887-5152 If that doesn't work, I suggest that you call the town clerk of Rotterdam and see if they have the marriage records for 1904. If they do, they will send you a form to fill out and tell you how much it costs for the search, whether they find the info or not, the charge is still the same. Their phone number is : 518-355-7820. If they don't house the records, they should be able to direct you in the right direction, although I imagine that Schenectady Co. would be the next best bet. Schenectady Co. Clerk 518- 388-4220 Hope this is of help to you.
