Hi Bill,

I just sat down to write you when I saw your letter pop up! I just went to Fort Wayne to the Allen County library Thursday. I have to get up about 5:30 and didn't get home until 10:30 that night. It is all the way across the state. They did however have a new book that I had not seen there before on the 2nd Reformed Church of Berne. This is the Thompson's Lake Reformed Church. It is a little less that 50 pages so I copied the whole book. In case you have not bought your copy yet...here is the Tygert info. members 15 Mar 1826 William Tygert, & his wife Catharine Head members 29 Oct 1831 Ann Tygert widow of Peter Devoe (Peter was dead in 1831) Elizabeth Tygert wife of Derick Van Schaack baptisms Stephen b. 9 Nov 1825 bp 3 Dec 1828 son of Isaac Hungerford & Jemima Tygert Elizabeth b. 13 Jan 182? bp 3 Dec 1828 dau of Isaac Hungerford & Jemima Tygert Elizabeth b. 24 Jul 1825 bp. 13 Nov 1831 dau of Dereck Van Schaaick & Elizabeth Tygert Barbarah b. 6 Oct 1828 bp. 13 Nov 1831 dau of Dereck Van Schaaick & Elizabeth Tygert ?e??ina b. 6 Jun 1837 bp. 29 Aug 1837 of Derick Van Schaack & Elizabeth Tygert A Peter b. 1840 of Isaac Hungerford & Holliday Winne I wonder if this is a different Isaac or his wife had died That is the last of the Tygert baptisms no Tygerts listed in the marriages but they seem incomplete no Tygerts listed in the 1/2 page of deaths.... I really need to find a cemtery list. Someone has to have copied the stones, at least. They are all done here in Indiana. The DAR did a lot of them. I will check with the historian who doesn't know anything. I will also check with the history center near here if they ever open. I have been over there 4 times and they were closed when they were suppose to be open!

Now on to more "good stuff". I wish I could do as well on my lines! Caughnawaga Reformed Church, Fonda, NY Catrina b. 8 Apr 1794 bp 4 May 1794 dau of William Tygert & Catrina Head sp-Franseus Van Valken & Sarah Head Elizabeth b. 15 Mar 1796 no bp. date dau of William Tyger & Catrena Head no sponsors It looks llike your lines may have come from Montgomery Co. I didn't see a marriage yet.

I saved the best until last... from "The Capital" ...these are in a collection called "Brinkman Bible Records" They seem to have copied a lot of old bibles from Albany area. I found Stephen Hungerford's record also and two brothers to my line, Henry Shaver & Carel Shaver in the past.

William Tygert Family Bible Record William Tygert b. 26 Jun 1766 mar Catharine -- b. 25 Mar 1773 (It is important to find these dates to match them up with baptisms, if you find them) children Thomas b. 12 Aug 1789 John b. 28 Sep 1791 Catharine b. 8 Apr 1794 Elizabeth b. 15 Mar 1796 Alexander b. 15 Dec 1798 Jemima b. 5 Jul 1801 Anna b. 26 Dec 1803 Polly b. 31 Dec 1805 William b. 18 Sep 1808 Shubal b. 30 Oct 1810 David b. 13 Nov 1812 Sarah b. 29 Sep 1815 William Hungerford b. 11 Dec 1819 The last one may be recorded in the New Salem records. I could not find the whole book at Fort Wayne. I need a number of pages. I'll write to another woman in Amsterdam. I'll see if she can get them for me. I'll let you know if this bp. turns up. The first two must have been someplace in Montgomery Co?

In response to how I am related. I told a friend that I ought to do a book on Albany families, since I have been keeping tabs of so many of them. I just keep collecting info when I run across it on families that have married into mine. My ancestor is Catherine Shaver/Shafer Seger/Sager. Her mother Magdelena Feil Shafer m. John Devoe after her first husband John Shafer died. She had a number of children by both men. So the Devoes are 1/2 brothers to my line. Did you follow that? And I collect all info on all family members so I am collecting on the Devoes also. I also have many other direct families in that area...including Brownell, Dorn, Egmont, Lansing, etc.

Alana
