I doubt I'll make back to NY from CA any time soon, so these are wonderful to have. If the originals are on microfilm, of course they could be viewed at any FHC.<br />Thanks for stopping by :)Diane Gould Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362418860289987479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-63207636454976742552015-09-15T09:04:15.072-07:002015-09-15T09:04:15.072-07:00I think that it is important to note (which ancest...I think that it is important to note (which ancestry does not) that these records are transcriptions from the original records. (Note, lined paper and stamped page numbers.) Nevertheless, wonderful to have.

Having never been to NY state, you know I'm dying to go now. My husband's family also have roots in NY state, in the Buffalo area. I have so many records and much work to do in order to get all the media linked and sourced in Legacy for this line. <br /> I enjoy your blog and appreciate you reading mine. Thanks again for the times I've been mentioned in your Noteworthy Reads. Your blog is linked in the "Mentions" tab on my blog http://www.michiganfamilytrails.com/p/blog-page.html.

If you want pictures of anything in and around Albany or Rensselaer counties I can try to get it for you . A lot of the old stuff is still here. Running late so this is all I can say now, but contact me if you want (you know wherein a few of the same forums).Jo Hennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566276500934815959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-10228507653738898922015-09-09T09:44:02.138-07:002015-09-09T09:44:02.138-07:00Hi Linda - Thanks for leaving your comment. Now t...Hi Linda - Thanks for leaving your comment. Now that I've found this new branch of the family, I need to look at my DNA and my brother's too. I've seen the name Quackenbush on some of the baptismal records I've found. Strangely enough that name is already associated with my family, only on the other side (my maternal side). Where the Cooper name is on the paternal side. On the maternal Quackenbush, it's only through marriage. However, it would be interesting to see if our Cooper's are connected.<br />Please stay in touch and thank you for stopping by.Diane Gould Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362418860289987479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-13401047385169303012015-09-09T06:21:07.877-07:002015-09-09T06:21:07.877-07:00Your information is very helpful in my research.

I found out through another match that my 4th grandmother was a Quackenbush ,(Quackenboss, Bush ) who are related to the Cooper family and also match our DNA. It looks like you and I may have some common ancestors.Linda an Slykenoreply@blogger.com
