ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE VOL. VIII - MARRIAGE INDEX RENSSELAER COUNTY, NEW YORK JANUARY 1927 - DECEMBER 1928 A. Volume VIII of the ten volume set of Rensselaer County Marriages with its 3,250 names, has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy website. The 8 volumes of the index that are now on line cover 43,250 names. As you may find individuals from counties throughout New York State, neighboring states and even far away states on the index, this notice is being posted to numerous genealogy mailing lists. Vol. 8 in particular has a number of Massachusetts residents listed in the index. B. You can view these marriage records by going to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.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. C. Researchers having relatives with a RENSSELAER COUNTY, NY area connection, will be interested in these on-line, name searchable, records of names of individuals who were married in Rensselaer County, New York. If you live in a nearby county or even further away, you might want to check out these names. Take a look at the data base, you never know what you will find. You may even find a marriage performed outside Rensselaer County or even an earlier marriage for your relative that you never knew about. 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. Regards, Bill McGrath TIGS Project Coordinator Clifton Park, NY
