Saturday's Society : Troy Irish Genealogy Society

This week's Saturday's Society is on the Troy Irish Genealogy Society (TIGS). For a heads up: the society is not only about Troy's Irish. The group aims to make local genealogical records available online and its focus covers many areas in the Capital District.

A few of their "projects" that are online that helped me greatly in my research are:

• St. John's Cemetery, Albany, Interment Records,  1841-1887
• Death Notices Appearing in Troy Newspapers, 1797-1860
• West Troy Advocate 
• St. Mary's Cemetery, Albany, Re-Interment Records
• St. Agnes Cemetery, Menands, Interment Records, 1862-2013

TIGS has many many more records that were transcribed and put online and can be found on their website. Check them out. Join the group. Get involved and volunteer in the Capital District's genealogy community.

TIGS is also on Facebook.
