A major transcription project has placed online
more than
6,000 obituaries from newspapers (mostly Troy newspapers) published between
March 1890 and April 1895. These are at the website of the
Troy Irish Genealogy Society (TIGS). Those listed are not necessarily Irish and were
not necessarily employed by the Burden Iron Company, which compiled the records that
include these obituaries. Congratulations to the TIGS transcription team; well done, all!
Here is a link to a website which indexes
Rensselaer Co NY obituaries. Compiled so far are
the cities of Troy and Rensselaer;
the towns of Berlin, Nassau, Pittstown and Stephentown; the villages of
Castleton-on-Hudson, Hoosick Falls and Valley Falls; and the hamlet of Buskirk.
Tina Ordone's excellent
Stephentown Genealogy
website lists Stephentown obituaries.
The Times-Union newspaper of Albany, Albany Co, NY has a
website which offers
access to its online library and archives, including its obituaries from March 1986 to
one year ago; a search engine is provided.
