Another place that you may want to check is Amsterdam, NY which is just northwest of Schenectady on Route 5 along the Mohawk River. Amsterdam is in Montgomery County, not Schenectady County, but many of its residents also worked at General Electric Co., or at American Locomotive (ALCO) and historically it has had a large Polish population. My wife is of Polish ancestry, and pretty much all of her family (parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles) has lived in Schenectady or Amsterdam since the early 1900's. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Craver" <gcraver1@nycap.rr.com> To: <NYSCHENE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2003 11:51 AM Subject: Re: [NYSCHENE] WWII soldier killed in action from Schenectady > "St. Adelbert" correct spelling is St. Adalbert and it's current Pastor is > the Rev.
