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.
