ORANGE COUNTY GENERAL
DEATH RECORDS [ORANGE COUNTY, NY] FROM THE MORTALITY RECORDS OF 1850, 1860,
1870, AND 1880 by Kenneth A. Dunning.
The four schedules abstracted in this book contain a total of 3,244
death records. Questions were asked by
the Census takers concerning deaths that had occurred in the household within
the previous year – meaning June 1st through May 31st as
indicated in this book. The sub-title
page at the beginning of each section lists the questions that were asked such
as age, month of death, occupation, where born etc. The 1880 records have a two page spread of
information put it in a format that is easy to follow. A true treasure trove of genealogical
information and a definite must have for Orange
County research. This book completes the trilogy of vital
records now unlocked by the Krish and Burrows books previously published in
recent years. An every name index
created by Dan Burrows makes this book easy to use. 2006, soft cover, indexed, 146 pages. $16.00
ORANGE COUNTY
MARRIAGES AND DEATHS
FROM THE NEW YORK
STATE 1865 AND 1875
CENSUSES Compiled by Dan Burrows and edited by Barbara DiMunno. At the end of family enumerations for each
district in the towns and cities of New York
State, the 1865 and 1875 Census
takers asked questions relating to marriages and
deaths that occurred in the previous year beginning June 1st 1864 ending May 31st 1865 and again June 1st 1874 ending May 31, 1875. This information was recorded for each
election district in the towns. There is also an additional 5 year bonus of
death records of soldiers who died in, or of causes related to the Civil War
between 1861 and 1865. These death and
marriage records were abstracted from the census microfilms by Dan Burrows and
listed in the original order by Township and Election District. Proofing was done by Barbara DiMunno from the
original records located at the Orange County Clerk’s Office. An every name
index was also compiled which includes the maiden names of females when
known. A must have for all Orange
County researchers. 2004, soft cover, indexed, 146 pages. $14.00
OFFICIAL
VITAL RECORDS FROM THE VARIOUS TOWNS OF ORANGE COUNTY, NY ---
BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES 1847 – 1849 WITH A SUPPLEMENT OF ADDITIONAL
MARRIAGE AND DEATH RETURNS by
Jeanne and Lee Krish. The New
York State
legislature passed a law in 1847 requiring school district clerks to send vital
record information to the Secretary of State via their local town clerk. Copies of these records were then forwarded
to the county clerks. It appears that only statistical information was supplied
to the State and the actual vital records remained with the town and county
clerks. The law was difficult to
enforce, and most school districts stopped doing this by 1852. Unfortunately Orange
County stopped this practice in
1849. From various correspondence found
with the records, it appears that many school district clerks did not file any
returns to the town clerks. One town
clerk actually supplied the names of the district clerks who failed to do their
job. Therefore, many vital records
were never recorded. Several
years ago a drawer full of Vital Record Returns for the years 1847 through 1849
filed from the 15 towns (all those existent in 1847) of Orange
County, New York were
rediscovered by an OCGS member. Jeanne Krish saw the need for these records to
become easily accessible to the public and recruited her husband Lee to help create
this monumental database. A true
genealogical treasure enhanced by an every name index of 13,776 names of those
who were born [including parents' names], married, or deceased along with any
other names mentioned of genealogical value.
A separate index of Marriage Officials has been added. 2003, soft
cover, indexed, 288 pages $21.00

NEWBURGH
HISTORY OF
THE TOWN AND CITY OF NEWBURGH, NEW YORK INCLUDING A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE by Edward M. Ruttenber. One of the rarest editions
of this comprehensive history of this famous historic city and town on the Hudson River. Very few copies of this rare edition are
still in existence. We were only able to
locate three copies in our quest to republish this long sought after work.
Mr. Ruttenber
published a history of the Town and City of Newburgh
in 1859. In 1875 he published a revised
and expanded edition, and about 1887 he again revised it and added to it many
historical addresses, perhaps a small quantity to account for its rarity. The
Orange County Genealogical Society has created a 12,000 + every name index to
this all important publication.
Aside from the extensive history
of Newburgh and the outline History
of Orange County, this volume is loaded with area genealogies which are now
unlocked by this new index. This edition
is a must have for any Orange County
researcher having ties to this area. It
will also make a great gift to give to other families
members and friends. We reprinted only
500 copies so supplies will not last forever. Owners of previous editions will
want to purchase this edition for the corrections, additions, and especially
the index. Ca 1887

photos and illustrations, every name index. $35.00
