Hello Jack:

The TIGS website has several areas that should be a help to you in doing
research. Go to the TIGS website: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/
and:

CLICK ON PROJECTS. Here you will find over 60,000 surnames in the various
records we have transcribed.

CLICK ON RESOURCES. Item 6 on the list, Look Ups - TIGS Irish Acts of
Kindness section leads you to volunteers who have lots of reference books
and will do look ups for you. A number of Troy churches (St. Mary's, St.
Patrick's & St. Jean de Bapatiste) are on this list.

CLICK ON RESOURCES. Item 12 on the list, Tips on Genealogy Research in
Troy, NY, is a lengthy article showing you what records are available in
Troy and where they are held. Lots of good tips to help you in genealogy
research.

Hope these items are of help to you.
