Lisa> My grandfather, William E. GEDDES, was born in Troy, NY on
Lisa> 3-23-1878. He moved to Braddock, PA around 1900. Before the
Lisa> move, he was supposed to have taken a correspondence course
Lisa> in engineering, or something very close to that. Does
Lisa> anyone know of a college in that time period that offered a
Lisa> course like that? And would I be able to access their
Lisa> records to verify that he did take those classes?
Could it be Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)? It is right there
in Troy (well, up the hill actually)
Check you their web page (www.rpi.edu) and you may be able to find the
address of a historian. Try the school of Humanities and Social
Sciences...
