For many Octobers, an annual one-day conference was held, sponsored by a NYC professional organization. The GGG and IGG were just a few of the groups who had booths there, and they offered a choice of meeting topics. Does anyone know more details about the event mentioned in the URL below? http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2012/08/the-genealogy-event-i n-new-york-city.html It isn't very clear who's sponsoring it, or its agenda. Thanks, Barb

Would this construction along the Hudson River have gone as far north as Columbia County? I have Irish ancestors there and have no idea what they did for a living, although I know that one son died by being run over by a cart in the mid-1800's. Sounds like it could have been a construction accident.

This is a brief history of Irish construction employment in NYS and along the Hudson River corridor, which may direct you to the 1830 and 1840 US Census records. Erie Canal construction, 1817-1825, beginning in Rome, NY, employed Irish immigrant muscle, usually by subcontractors, which makes documenting your ancestor improbable. In addition, farmers along the route were responsible for creating sections of the canal. The majesty of this project was connecting goods from NYC to Buffalo, NY, and then out West. The original, masonry Croton Dam was constructed 1837-1842, to bring clean water into NYC. Our Irish, as physical donkeys, were often employed by subcontractors. The brickyards and some coal mines, were located in Westchester County, from north to south: Peekskill, Verplanck's Point, Buchanan, Montrose, Crugers, Croton and Ossining [formerly Sing Sing]. Employees lived in local boarding houses, small hotels, homes, and sometimes, as with Fleischmann's Distillery in Peekskill, NY (began 1870), employees lived on company grounds, which Fleischmann's did into the 1950s. I've researched in Westchester County for clients. Verplanck/Verplanck's Point and Buchanan, NY, border each other. Westchester County in on the northern border of NYC...Bronx County today. Verplanck is shaped like a protruding nose, from the east side of the Hudson River. It had several competitively owned brickmaking yards, and less coal mines. I found hand-drying brick ovens and decrepit pier posts, deep into the brush, along the Hudson. Directly across the Hudson River in Rockland County, NY, Haverstraw & Stony Point are historically known for brickmaking. Haverstraw now has a Brick Museum. There were personal and business interactions between Haverstraw and Verplanck's Point, via boats. If you can't locate an ancestor in one county, check out the other. Bricks from both sides of the Hudson River were shipped by barge into NYC to create many edifices in NYC, besides homes near the brickyards. We're talking as early as the 1840 US census. We are also talking also about documented "Save Ireland" fund raising meetings, along both sides of the Hudson, via the then Hudson River Railroad (then under construction) from NYC up Newburgh, NY, in the latter 1840s. Representatives from NYC were welcomed by local politicians, intentionally to raise funds from Irish workers. Contributors were sought on pay days. Often their names were published in NYC newspapers. This fund raising effort involved New York, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, and Orange counties. Interesting how our Irish stayed attached on both sides of the Atlantic. Barb Metro NYC Researcher @7-31-2012

Corlandttown, or today known as the Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, incorporates Buchanan and Verplanck, and once Peekskill, which later became its own city. Many Irish immigrants worked in the brickyards and coal mines of Verplanck, as early as 1840. Some brickyards had companion yards across the Hudsonin Haverstra and Stony Point, NY. Often workers would board ships across the river. Yet, they had to immigrate through somewhere...the port of New York? Some were Naturlaized in New York County, others were Naturalized in Westchester and Rockland counties.

A quick check on Ancestry shows a Fanny Louise Valentine b abt 1837, married to James Scott b 1839. She died April 22, 1864 in St Louis, St Louis Co, MO and is buried in the Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, Kings Co, NY. They had 2 children, John Valentine Scott b abt 1859 in NY. Eliza Valentine Scott was born March 1862 in Missouria. There's a great deal of information on her including husband, children, residences, etc. probably put there by a descendent of Eliza. Fanny's father is listed as John Valentine, Esq, born abt 1817 in New York City, lived in Brooklyn in 1860 and died before 1864. If he really was an attorney, you may find more information on him through city directories. when I looked quickly at the 1860 census they used for a citation, this guy was a butcher and had no Fanny or Frances so who knows its validity. There was no mother listed for Fanny. Wendy

ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE BOOK 2 - INTERMENT INDEX ST. MARY'S CEMETERY, TROY NEW YORK INTERMENT YEARS - May 1910- December 1918 A. Book 2, part of a multi-volume set of Interment Records at St. Mary's Cemetery, Troy, NY, which includes 3,434 names, has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy website. You can view these interment records by going to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ click on TIGS PROJECTS and then click on ST. MARY'S CEMETERY, TROY, NY - INTERMENT RECORDS. B. This new data series of interment records list an individuals name, date of death and age at death. In a large number of records, the age is reported in years, months and days. Some entries without a date of death, are re-interments to or from another cemetery. 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 CAPITAL DISTRICT area connection, will be interested in these on-line, name searchable, records of names of individuals who were interred in St. Mary's Cemetery in Troy, NY. 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. D. The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used to request more information from the Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. Mailing instructions and fees (only $5.00) are on the request form. Additional items that may be available from the full interment record may include: 1. LATE RESIDENCE: While many of the records in Book 2 show only the name of the city as the late residence, 1,418 of the records will show a house number and a Troy street address. 2. INTERMENT DATE: The date of interment in St. Mary's Cemetery may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 3. SECTION/LOT#: The section and lot number may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 4. UNDERTAKER: The name of the undertaker may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. E. The following information on the 3,434 deaths will be of interest: 1. No age was reported for 243 names and 108 records were identified as "Still Born". 2. A breakdown of the other deaths by age groups shows: Under 1 year - 196 names. Age 1 to 10 - 326 names. Age 11 to 19 - 97 names. Age 20 to 29 - 277 names. Age 30 to 39 - 376 names. Age 40 to 49 - 364 names. Age 50 to 59 - 438 names. Age 60 to 69 - 436 names. Age 70 to 79 - 292 names. Age 80 to 89 - 69 names. Age 90 to 99 - 9 names. Age 100+ - 1 name. 3. A number of reported deaths in this series of records were attributed to the 1918 Spanish Flu. This epidemic, which started January 1918 and ran through December 1920, killed between 50 and 100 million people worldwide. F. Nearly all of the 3,434 interment records showed some indication of residence. Those records will be of interest to researchers outside of the Troy Area as they identify residences in numerous cities and towns throughout New York State as well as 18 other states and Canada. While most of the records were for the Capital District Area, other areas throughout New York State were reported. Some specifics on residence information follow: 1. The following NYS locations had three or more records: Albany-64, Brunswick-22, Cohoes-32, Colonie-14, Grafton-3, Green Island-84, Mechanicville-8, North Greenbush-16, Poughkeepsie-46, Rensselaer-6, Sand Lake-6, Saratoga Springs-3, Schaghticoke-4, Schenectady-13, Troy-2,191 including 1,420 with street addresses, Utica-4, Waterford-3, and Watervliet-119. 2. The following NYS locations had 2 records: Buffalo, Cambridge, Glenville, Pittstown, Rome, Scotia, Syracuse, Valley Falls, and Voorheesville, 3. The following NYS locations had 1 record: Ballston Spa, Bath, Binghamton, Chatham, Cooperstown, Ghent, Glens Falls, Greenwich, Highland, Hillsdale, Hoags Corner, Hudson, Lake George, Lake Placid, Malone, Monticello, Newburgh, Ovid, Port Chester, Rochester, Salem, Schodack, Verona, West Crescent, Whitehall, Wynantskill, and Yonkers. 4. For the New York City area, there were 10 records for Brooklyn, 46 records for New York City and 1 record for Long Island. Eleven records indicated "New York" so it is unclear if this meant New York State or New York City. 5. There were a number of records from the neighboring states of Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and New Jersey. Connecticut has 3 records, Massachusetts had 8 records, Vermont had 2 and New Jersey had 15 records. 6. Residence was also indicated from the following states: California, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. 7. The only foreign country listed was Canada. 8. The following organizations were indicated as the residence; Maternity Hospital-19, Rensselaer County Hospital-48, Samaritan Hospital-76, Marshall Sanitarian-8, Troy Hospital-220, Home for the Aged-22, House of Good Shepherd-7, Troy Lakeview Sanitarian-68, St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum-2, and St. Joseph's Home-39. G. There are now 11,897 interment records in the three Books of St. Mary's Cemetery records now on-line on the TIGS website. Book 4 of St. Mary's interments records is now being transcribed by the volunteer transcribers working on this project. Hopefully you will find some of your ancestors listed in these interment records or in the various other data series on the Troy Irish Genealogy website. Other recent additions to the TIGS website were the Nail Factory Cemetery in Troy, New York and the addition of two more churches to the Church Memorials and Family Names data base; St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Watervliet, New York and St. John's Episcopal Church in Troy, New York. These records will be found under the PROJECTS section of the website.

Jack & Helen CROWLEY had three daughters, not two: (1) Mary Ann, born 1929 - PA (2) Martha, born 1932 - PA (3) Mildred, born 1936 - PA The family resided in New York City on West 111st Street during the 1940 census. The 1940 census also references their 1935 residence as Avonmore, PA, the family probably didn't leave there until after 1936 when Mildred, the daughter, was born. The 1930 Census for Avonmore is allegedly incomplete and therefore offered no guidance in my initial inquiry. I only knew this family when they resided in Hastings On Hudson, NY, I would appreciate any response. This introduces the fact that there were two family members with the name of Martha, in addition to Jack's daughter, there was also his sister Martha, born 1902 in OH, who in 1940 is listed as an un-married school teacher in Carmel, Putnam County, New York.
