This week's local genealogical gem is the
John M. Foll Funeral Home Records. These ledger book records are housed at the
Albany County Hall of Records. The books are a great find for those who are searching their "South End" Albany ancestors/relatives; especially those with German ancestry. It appears that Foll catered to the large German population within the "South End." His business locale was in the heart of Albany's Germantown, situated at 434 South Pearl Street. Records for later burials are much more detailed than earlier entries, see examples below.
