New York Church Records
This week past has brought much discussion on NY state church records.
I have used usgenweb.org and then the county to gather what I could find prior to asking for more help.
More help is found in many places. I do not know if the Way Back Machine will find Barbara's site anymore.
I use Cliff Lamere's site often.
Albany & Eastern New York Genealogy - Cliff Lamere
It has over 1,300 links and 200 webpages. Make sure you read his front page regarding search engines before you get stuck or lost.
As most of you know, or maybe not Pat Connors has specialized in Rensselaer County Records.
Rensselaer County, NY GenWeb site for genealogy and history
She has posted over 93,000 names for Cemetery data base. Also updated Church records 29 Jan 2012.
This site represents what the usgenweb.org projected when they created the program.
Another great resouce is : Troy Irish Genealogy Society - Transcription Projects
Click on Projects then on Church & Synagogues.
It covers more than Irish surnames and covers a vast area for information.
Today I see that another name has been added to this list.
This person covers much of Albany County. So I will get to know her well I suspect. Her name is Betty Fink.
I think many people get confused when the sites left the usgenweb.org domain and went under rootsweb.ancestry.com site. These are all free sites no pay involved.
Give them a try and if you have good luck let us know or if you know of other great New York sites share that here also please.

Hi Susi, thank you for responding. yes, I did try the Way Back Machine but nothing. I am just kicking myself because I found 2 pieces of information at that site in Albany County and I kept meaning to go back and do a screen shot and you know the story one day leads to the next then I forgot and now...it's not there :(. I have done all kinds of Google searches trying to relocate it. I see links posted all over the place but they all lead back to what is the current site of adware. Thanks again. Shona
Shona, I would try the Way Back Machine to locate. It is possible that it is no longer a active site but the data can still be viable.
Hi all,
I see you have a link to Betty Fink's pages, does anyone know what's happened to her information. When I go there it's just a site of advertisers and I am not sure if I'm suppose to click on something to get back to the info she had or what. Can anyone advise? Thank you Shona Desbiens
Great let's get them posted then I can put them together for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Keep sharing the url sites for this information.
Another site which apparently does include church records.
