The New York State Library catalog lists two reference copies of this book. I
checked the CD-ROM catalog for the 10-county Capital District region and the
Johnstown Public Library is listed as owning a copy in their (reference) local
history collection.
No circulating copies were listed. If you could specify what you want, you
might be able to get photocopies.
I don't know which pages to ask for; I need to see it first. Maybe it is
available from SLC on microfilm. If not, I'll just have to wait until I get
to NY. Thanks for your response

I am looking for information on the section of lower Manhatten known in the
mid 1850s to 1870s as Kleindeutschland, a heavily populated German part of
the city. Several of my German ancestors appeared to have settled there
during that time period. I'm trying to get a sense of what life was like
there, the living conditions, way of life, industries, churches, etc. and get
real details.
I'm also searching for similar information on Williamsburgh, Brooklyn c 1900.
Can anyone point out any historical publications or share any other anecdotal
info?

Does anyone have ready access to the Journal of the NYS Assembly
for 1846, and be willing to look up some dates? The State Univ.
of New York at Buffalo is celebrating its 150th anniversary this
year. It was originally chartered in 1846 as the University of
Buffalo, and became part of the SUNY system in 1962. I would like
to know the dates that the resolution to charter the university
was introduced into each branch of the Assembly and by whom. The
final act to incorporate the University was passed on May 11th,
but I'd like to know when it was introduced, and also whether there
was any debate. I've looked through the reports on the Assembly
Proceedings as published in the Albany Argus, but didn't see
anything but the final passage. However, my eyesight is not what
it was an I may have missed it. Thanks.

I would suggest two possible avenues to locate more information.
Since you know letters and/or articles were published in newspapers,
you might want to check to see what newspapers were published in
and around Schaghticoke for the period. The NYS Library has an index
of newspapers on microfilm available at the Library. These newspapers
are available through interlibrary loan.
Using the vital records index located at the NYS Archives, check to see
when the individuals died. When you have a date, look for an obituary in
the newspapers. If a person is prominent or interesting enough, the
obituary notice sometimes gives information about past endeavors.
The Archives and the Library are open Mon., Tues., Thurs. and Fri., 9-5,
and Wed. 1-5. The Library's reference desk number is 518-474-5355.
The Archives's reference number is 518-473-1202.

The new "Encyclopedia of New York City," edited by Kenneth Jackson, has a
short entry on Kleindeutschland (with a photograph of George Ehret's Alt
Heidelberg restaurant) and a longer article on Germans in New York. Both
entries are by Stanley Nadel, who has written a book on the area: "Little
Germany: Ethnicity, Religion, and Class in New York City, 1845-1880"
(1990). Two other titles that might be of interest: Agnes Bretting:
"Soziale Probleme deutscher Einwanderer in New York City, 1800-1860"
(Wiesbaden, 1981) and Philip Wagner: "Ein Achtundvierziger: Erlebtes und
Gedachtes" (Brooklyn, 1882).

There are no extant newspapers from Schaghticoke in the New York State

No, I've not posted to the list lately, but the list was so inactive I
re-subscribed, thinking I'd somehow been bumped off of it. I hadn't been.
Interestingly enough, the Early American History list has also been quiet

People of the List:
Bill says the list has been sparse lately and I have nothing
really important to say, but how about a few words from anyone interested
about what are the least researched topics in NYS history and why and what
if anything should be done about it. Are there topics which have been
done to death? (My vote on the done to death is the Shakers.)
How about news of new archival collections from all of us
archivists and librarians? I will post a couple of new collection notices
next week. Anyone else have any?

those two provinces in that area are the counties of Franklin and St,
Lawrence in the State of New York and I would like to get in touch with some
local historians or historical societies in these counties. I am
also interested in contacting people or organizations working in the Ontarian

Frances--
When you get an answer to the NY newspapers question and borrowing them
by ILL, will you please let me know? I need them too and live in VA.

I'm also looking for newspaper information, specifically any papers published
in Brooklyn, NY for the year 1844. My great uncle, David W. Hinman died
there at the home of his brother, Grove P. Hinman and I`d like to get the
information as he was only in his 20's.
Thanks for your help.

I have sent Jean Martin the lists for local government historians
for Jefferson, Franklin, & St. Lawrence Counties (USA). She has
responded that she also has received a contact for the St. Lawrence
Seaway Commission. Can't help with Canada -- can someone else?

My vote is the Palatines in the Hudson River and what happened to them
after the break-up of the camps. We know a great deal of what happened
to the ones who left - but very little of the ones who stayed behind.
