to 19th century histories that lacked an index. Many of New York's counties are included. Prices

include shipping at this writing.

Genealogical Publishing Co. (& Clearfield Co.) The soft cover on my Clearfield copy of the Albany

Dutch Reformed Church records is quite unsatisfactory. The pages began coming out after 2-3 months.

Hope Farm Press & Bookshop Over 300 NY genealogy books for sale.

Kinship Eastern NY genealogy books by Arthur C.M. Kelly. These are an important contribution to genealogy.

Some of the new full-sized, softcover versions are not completely readable, however. The text or index is

often down inside the binding, sometimes even behind a very thick staple which cannot be removed without

ruining the pages. You should check before you order because they won't allow you to return anything despite

what they might say. A major researcher and I have both given up trying to get better copies or refunds or an

exchange for another item. CD versions of Kelly's previously published records were not always transferred

accurately by the transferring company. On a baptism CD by Ancestry, all Gardiniers are listed as Gordiniers,

unlike the spelling in the transcription of the Caughnawaga RDC records from which they were taken.

Therefore, you can't find them. On a Family Tree Maker CD, way too many people were erroneously assigned

to an Austerlitz, Columbia Co. cemetery (I have been told that that CD is no longer being sold).

"Names, Names & More Names - Locating Your Ancestors in Colonial America" by Mr. Kelly (1999) is one of

my favorite books. Published softbound by Ancestry, the center pages began falling out in 1-1½ years, and the

book is ready to break into two halves along the inadequate paper spine.

Purple Mountain Press Books about the history and people of New York State.

Ye Olde Directory Shoppe (Maureen Readey) Has CDs of directories, mostly 1859, for various cities in New

York and other states, including one directory each for Albany and Troy . The 2002 price is $9.50 for CD's.

of birth, marriage and death. The blank spaces are labelled B, W, M, W, D, W. W may mean Where.
