First of all, I see that I had two numbered 42, should be 42 and 42a.
Then I had two numbered 43, should be 43 and 44. Sorry if this caused
any confusion, I am out of practice...but getting into the groove again
pretty quickly.
I now have years Aug 1853 through Dec 1856 on line and Oct 16 to Dec
1884 on line. You can access them from the URS under my name, under New
York State, click on Troy, they are under Naturalizations.
I also have them on the Rensselaer County website at:

Pat,
I also received one of those emails this morning and knew
that it couldn't possibly be from you. I ran into a similar
situation on another list and boy the grief I got from
other's thinking that I passed this virus along. I knew that
it wasn't from me, thank god for Norton :)

you can check the NARA website for the address. It was in that facility that I

This is a self-guided tour. Although there is a fine Irish crew, you may
