Sorry about the address. It must have changed since I last got the information. It is: 1 Veterans Drive, PO Box 550, New Paltz, NY 12561 I suspect this is a fairly recent change, that is why the phone book has the old one.

I have read the entries on this list with great interest for some time. I am relatively new to the search for my RELYEA ancestors, therefore have a lot to learn. I should say a lot more to learn, since I have already learned a great deal fro the list postings. One thing I learned about is the LDS site and the surname searches that can be done on it. This has also created a question that I hope can be answered by members of the list. In most cases the birth, christening and marriage records give a location or city as well as a date, such as Guilderland Center. My question is, are these the place names that exist now, or are they places from the date of the record that may or may not still exist? It they are current locations, is there a way to cross reference to the name they would have had at the date of the record? Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated. I need all the help I can get. Don Relyea mastrsgt@aol.com

I sent this message this morning. Why hasn't it been posted? -----Original Message----- From: Rosenthal <scooter1@eznet.net> To: NYULSTER-L@rootsweb.com <NYULSTER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, September 01, 1999 7:56 AM Hello! I am trying to find information on my great grandmother, Elizabeth Rider/Ryder. My info on her so far is that she was born @1845, married to Henry Nelson Lane @1863, they lived in Shandaken, had children named Sherman, Leander, (Mary) Elizabeth, Louis, and Arthur Nelson. Also, any ideas on how to trace someone who was hospitalized for a "nervous breakdown" in Ulster Co. @1870? Someone has suggested that Middletown would have been the closest hospital - any thoughts? How would someone check the records of a hospital that far back?

A couple weeks ago someone was nice enough to send me the address for the New Paltz town clerk & tax collector. My letter was just returned to me from this address: 130 N. Chestnut New Paltz, NY 12561 The reason stated was "not deliverable as addressed, unable to forward" I cannot find an address in my phone that includes Ulster Co., can anybody find an updated address please?

Still trying to find the first name of my Gggg-grandfather. His son Samuel Henry Bishop was born in Kingston in 1807. He was married at Rondout, May 13, 1839, and died there in 1872. Any suggestions on how I could obtain a death record, obiturary, or whatever to find his parents name? Thanking you in advance, Fran

Hi Nicole, Maybe I can help. In the Kingston DRC Church records, there is a John Roosa baptised on July 20,1800 (baptism # 9737). Parents were John E. Roosa and Elisabet Hoogteeling. No witnesses named. This is the latest listing for John Roosa in the book, whose records run to the end of 1809. Howard Cole At 07:52 AM 9/1/99 -0400, Dibble, Nicole A wrote: > >I am kinda stuck.

I need help trying to locate ancestors of Mary Crocker born 31July1774 died 28Mar1847Catskill,NY married 1803 one record says Rye,NY.She first married Zebulon Carbine ,who died before 1803 then married 1803 revolutionary veteran Peter Van Ordin born 19Feb,1761 in Leeds or Catskill,NY and died 15July1841 Catskill,NY. Could be an error in Leeds and Rye. His father born and died in Catskill. Is anyone working this family? Bill Ft, Walton,Fl

Any possibility an obituary might be listed for either Gertruyde Terwilliger Johnson (died 25 Dec 1858) or Jonathan Johnson (died 31 Oct 1848)? Both are buried Shawangunk RDC Cemetery. Thanks for looking. Caroljo

HI, I'm interested in the Rice family of Rondout. They came from Germany in the 1850's and settled in Kingston. The family was involved in barges on the Hudson river. Jacob Rice was a State Senator in the 1880's and was married to Sophie Derrenbacher. Charles Rice my husband's g-grandfather was married to Elizabeth Langendorfer. Anyone with information on any of these families please e-mail. Betty

There are published obits from The Ulster Republican, published at Kingston 1837-1845, 1846-1848 and Jan 1849 - Apr 1850. Cornelius Davis does not appear. Also published are the obits from The Saugerties Telegraph, 1848-1852 and 1853-1860. Although many Davis's do appear, there is no Cornelius. Audrey Klinkenberg

I have the same question re 1811 obituaries, if existant. My "brick wall", JOHN FRANCE b 1760 m 1794 (to Sarah Elting); d January 21, 1811. Although obits usually name the wife and children (which I know).....I'm desparate to find out who JOHN FRANCE's parents were.

Hi, I just joined this list serve a few days ago. I saw in posts today that people are talking about obits for Ulster Co. Does someone have a collection of them? I am interested in Obits for my great great great grandfather and grandmother. Orsamour Horton, born March 10, 1809 in Wallkill, NY, Ulster Co., Died February 11, 1859 in Woodstock, NY, in Ulster County. Olive Maria Allen born ? and died February 5, 1859 in Woodstock NY. I'm looking for their roots as well as what killed them, since they died within days of one another. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it! April Poley

While we're on the subject, I'll join the queue. My gggrandfather, John H. Snyder, lived in Ulster Co. and died Apr. 10, 1873. If there is a chance to get one, I'd like his obituary, too. Mary Atherton Baccus, Corpus Christi, Texas
