Dick Barr has done it again. He extracted about 800 marriages from the Catholic Assumption Church Records in Syracuse, and they have been published by CNYGS in their Journal “Tree Talks.”

The following is an announcement from CNYGS.

“Church of the Assumption marriages celebrated between 1844 and 1864 are also now fully indexed in the December, 2007 issue of the Central New York Genealogical Society’s journal, “Tree Talks” (72 pages, nearly 800 marriages, primarily of Germans, but including some Irish and French marriages from Syracuse and the surrounding area as well).

The Central New York Genealogical Society (CNYGS) October meeting and day long annual conference was held yesterday, Saturday October 20, 2007 in DeWitt, NY.

Those members and guests, (well over 100 in number,) were treated to four sessions of the latest and greatest research methods, tools and predictions of the direction of genealogy by the renowned Dick Eastman, of Eastman’s On-line Genealogy Newsletter, www.eogn.com.

Dick Eastman writes a daily newsletter that may be read in the abbreviated version on-line at his website, for free, or they may subscribe to the full version at a very nominal annual rate.

This is in addition to my recent Blog about the Central New York Genealogical Society and their “Tree Talks” County Packets. The publications committee wanted me to tell you all that these packets cover a much larger area than the central part of the state, as their name might imply.

Their members have meticulously transcribed hundreds, perhaps thousands of original records and published them through the years. These county packets are for “49″(!) of the New York State counties, and cover just about all of Upstate. So if you have not yet taken a look at their offerings, please do so. http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Enycnygs/publications.htm#countypacket
