I think you should try the Dutchess Co., Historical society they might have city directories but so too might a library in town or near by. Getting death certificates out of NYS can be pricey and slow. Google give no RC church in Pine Plains but many near by. Also go to findagrave and enter a search for Kelly and Dutchess co and it gives a number of RC cemeteries that you could call and ask if they have a burial for your people. Also check out the county site http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nydutche/ But I do think the phone is your best friend right now <G> Eliz St Christophers Church 7411 South Broadway, Red Hook, NY 11 mi W (845) 758-3732 ‎ · stchrisredhook.org St Mary Catholic Church 76 Sharon Road, Lakeville, CT 11 mi E (860) 435-2659 ‎ · stmarylakeville.org Good Shepherd Church 3 Mulberry Street, Rhinebeck, NY 13 mi W (845) 876-4583 ‎ · goodshepherd12572.com 2 reviews "Wonderful parish community filled with God's love!" - Saint Joseph Catholic Church 15 North Avenue, Millbrook, NY 14 mi S (845) 677-3422 ‎ · church.stjosephmillbrook.org Holy Cross Monastery Esopus, New York 20 mi SW (845) 384-6660 ‎ · holycrossmonastery.com Category: Catholic Church book and gift shop · monastic community · group retreats · episcopal church · mid-hudson valley St Bridget's Church 7 River Rd, Sharon, CT 18 mi SE (860) 672-6515 ‎ · stbridgetschurch.org St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church 93 Wurts Street, Kingston, NY 18 mi W (845) 331-0436 ‎ · stpeterskingston.org On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 11:41 AM, <eburns7@rochester.rr.com> wrote: >> Hello all, >> This is my first attempt at using the mailing list.  Please redirect me if I am not following proper protocols or procedures. > >> I am searching for some information on Pine Plains, NY.

Hi I'm just reposting this as I have made a mistake with the spelling of the "Strickler" surname Hi everyone Trying to find information on the family of the above David FULLER, on the 1880 Census he was 58, a farmer born PA. home in 1880 was Perry Fayette PA. He was married to a Dinna/Dianna STRICKLER. There is a birth date for David as 6 April 1823 a daughter (I think) was Mary E FULLER (died in 1948). David served in the Civil War Union, 46th Pennsylvania Infantry, Company B a Private, he received a disability discharge 27 April 1863. I have found the family on two more census's 1860 and 1870. Parents of David are James Fuller and Lucinda He is I believe a cousin to the Henry FULLER who I have been researching for a while now. I'm hoping to find a descendant of Diana and David FULLER to see if I can make a connection. Any help much appreciated. Kind regards Dianna

Looking for information on the William A Murray family, erie pa, born 1940, died 2002 in Erie Pa

I need help finding an obituary, if one exists. William Hunter Meriwether was a wealthy man who lived in Memphis at the time of his death sometime between May 15 and June 5. 1861. I believe that he died in Memphis but is buried in Lynchburg, Virginia. The obit may have been in the paper in Memphis, TN, New Branfels, TX, Lynchburg, VA or Charlottesville, VA. I have a copy of the will of William Hunter Meriwether of Memphis. It was written in May 15, 1861 and proven in court at the June term, June 5, 1861. His wife Catherine Whiting Meriwether signed a $50,000 bond to be the administrator on July 2, 1861. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tmsirecords/willofwmhuntermeriwether1861.html The website for the Presbyterian Cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia has a grave that is probably his. http://files.usgwarchives.org/va/lynchburg/cemeteries/presby03.txt Presbyterian Cemetery, Lynchburg, Virginia Marble shaft about 10 feet high, mounted on 3 ½ feet base, with an carn deaped top, is this inscription on the bas: To my husband William Hunter Meriwether Thou are gone, but not forgotten At Rest To the left and right, respectively, are two small stones about 1 ½ ft. and these have a dove with a leaf in its beak and underneath "N.D. Meriwether, Died May 31, 1861, Age 16 Months". The other has this: "J.M. Meriweather". This little stone has a rosebud on it. Does anyone live in Lynchburg who could take a picture of these gravestones? Many thanks, Sharon Sharon@MeriwetherSociety.org

Hi, I don't think that you can compare the two who have these papers. For each person it is different. They can't have all the papers so it is a matter if the ones that they have are what you are looking for, They also don't cover several hundred years either so one has to look at the time period. I had wonderful luck with Newspaper Archives. I needed Marrieta or was it Massilon Ohio around the turn of the century. They had just the years that I needed. Some of the things that I got are as follows 1. Obituaries for a whole family 2. News about the business of this family. There were ads for the business they founded. There was history about the company. There was a piece on a fire which took place in the company. 3. Lots of social news about the family including Church and Social Clubs I can tell you that there was so much that I felt that I really knew the family. That is what I look for when I work on genealogy and not thousands of names. Velma

Question concerns Naturalizations of immigrants from the state of New York. There is an index to the New York State Naturalizations. This card index contains several of my immigrant relatives. Is there some more information than the index card itself? Can other information be found on the original application for naturalization in New York State? If such an application has been kept that relates to the card index records, how does one find this record? Thank you. A. B. Thailes

Carl, What did you decide--Genealogy Bank or Newspaper Archive?

Thanks everyone for your help with my questions! I've checked out your ideas. It's helped me to make a decision. Thanking everyone here instead of individually. Thanks again, Carl Sprouse "Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength." ~Corrie Ten Boom

I just finished 2 Census from Delaware and found them fun to do. They took a little longer as it was all new. I have not done indexing for awhile=spend my time arbitrating-so I had to figure just how. The Same Place Same House was confusing but finally got it figured out, too. Yes, this will be MY first time in seeing MY name on a Census sheet. Sure took a LONG time!

As you may or may not know, Ancestry has a few states and counties loaded on their system. I looked at Delaware since it is done. Easy enough to find the ED. The pages I looked at are great and easy to read. Hope everyone enjoys. Obviously not everyone survives to see themselves in a census and I am really looking forward to it. (I was 5 and some change) Cheers, Ron Submarine Vet.

I don't know how it is working from NARA but I have been indexing the 1940 Delaware was what was up at about 6 this evening. Second batch they had Kansas up for indexing after dinner and cleaning up etc they have Colorado, Texas Oregon and Virginia up <G> Join the party <G> and see how soon we can get this up. Eliz

Thanks, I'll study the help screen.

They may appear in any order and anywhere in the document. To search for exact phrases, put quotation marks around the phrase (e.g. "Acme Corporation"). NOTE: Searching exact phrases in the First Name or Last Name field is not recommended for two reasons: (1) the order in which last and first names appear often differ (e.g. "Smith, William" vs. "William Smith"), and (2) sometimes a middle initial will be included (e.g. "William E. Smith" vs. "William Smith")" I have not had the experience of the program automagically using nicknames/akas, so I can't speak to that. (Oh, here it is: "When entering first names, keep in mind that variations that might be used - e.g. William, Bill, Will, etc.. Example: (William OR Bill)." So, you can put in all the variations you can think of, using the Boolean operators. On proximity, we have: Proximity Operators Proximity operators allow you to specify just how close two words must occur in a story to be included in your results. See the examples below. military NEAR/5 service - contains military and service within five words, in any order. And, it has wildcards, as well as Boolean operators. So, you might try some of those: http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/information/help/advanced_techniques.html# proximity_operators Glad this came up.

But of course "close" is a relative term. The two names could fall within the same newspaper where I'm hoping for just a space between them. I prefer searches where you can check off "exact match" but then I have other fish to fry than reading meaningless old newspaper articles. Tomorrow I'll go visit Clayton Library and see what turns up on William. The library is closed Monday or I would have spent the afternoon there.
