ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE VOL. X - MARRIAGE INDEX RENSSELAER COUNTY, NEW YORK APRIL 1933 - DECEMBER 1935 A. Volume X, of the Rensselaer County Marriage Index, with its 4,974 names, has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy (TIGS)website. This is the final volume in this wonderful series of records that TIGS started automating back in September, 2005. This project could not have been completed without the help of numerous volunteer transcribers from all across the United States. B. The 10 volumes of the index now on line cover 60,000 names, mostly of Rensselaer County residents. However, in working with these records over the years we have found individuals in the index with places of birth or residence addresses from nearly all counties throughout New York State. There were also large numbers of Massachusetts residents listed in the index as well as a sprinkling of individuals from many other states throughout the country and even a few foreign countries. This notice is being posted to numerous genealogy mailing lists since knowledge of the index may benefit researchers outside the Rensselaer County area. C. To view these marriage records go to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on TIGS PROJECTS and then click on RENSSELAER COUNTY MARRIAGE INDEX. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. D. The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used to request copies of the marriage documents from the Rensselaer County Clerk's Office. Mailing instructions and fees (only $5.00) are on the request form. There are SEPARATE request forms for EACH volume. Some of the items on the available documents will be: 1. Name, address, occupation, age, and place of birth (city & state or country) of bride and groom. 2. If marriage for each is first, or second. If second, was first ended by death or divorce and when. 3. Names of parents of bride and groom, including maiden name of females, and country of birth. 4. Names of witnesses to wedding. 5. Date and place of wedding and name of clergyman, minister, rabbi, etc. 6. Race of bride and groom. Hopefully you will find some of your ancestors listed in the Marriage Index or in the 13 other data series on the Troy Irish Genealogy website. Regards, Bill McGrath TIGS Project Coordinator Clifton Park, NY

Rose, very glad to hear about your find. As for the listing of the newspapers, you need to click on the FAQ_HELP_INDEX button at near the top right of your screen. The first sentence will have a blue HERE button, click on it, and you will be brought to three pages of newpapers listings. I strongly urge researchers to read the FAQ. It will help you narrow your search. Tom T. has done an excellent job of bringing computer searches to somewhat easy to understand suggestions. Also, knowing how Adobe works will help you in printing pages out. Don

I wish to thank, sincerely, Mr Cosgro for the heads up on that website.   I went there and was able to find the obituary and subsequent information about a long lost paternal aunt who resided in Amsterdam, and whom I had no idea on the correct spelling for her husband's surname. After almost 25 years, I now know what her married name was, how to spell it correctly and have enjoyed finially finding info on that branch of the family.   Again, thank you Mr Cosgro
