Hi Mary Anne,

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your assistance. I haven't yet sent my request to the church, but I will ask if people are allowed to come in and do the search.

Yes, I have the birth certificate for Frederick Martin Armstrong. I don't have birth or death for anyone else, but I have funeral cards and obits for some. My research turned up a long lost cousin who had a box of papers from her mother (my dad's sister.) There were also the beginnings of family data sheets. I don't have actual source materials for a lot of it, but it references where the info was found. Death info not from funeral cards and obits came from St Agnes Menands. Since they weren't on the family data sheets, I'm guessing those records didn't include parents, but it did list place of birth for Mary Cullen as Albany. It didn't list place of birth for William.

William Henry Armstrong Sr.
Birth 19 April 1858 to 1862 One source said 1848 but I think that was a typo. I have conflicting reports that he was born in NY or NJ. Census records alternate between the 2 places, but the birth certificate for Frederick Martin says NY. I tend to put more faith in the latter because its most likely William was answering that question himself; the census you never know who gave the answers.
Death 10 May 1930

Mary Cullen
Birth 1853 to 1856 The birth certificate for Frederick Martin Armstrong said she was 28 and the burial record said she was 31 with both events in 1884. Census records say 1854 to 1856.
Death 17 Dec 1884

Anna McMahon Armstrong
Birth Aug 1861 - 1863 All census records say NY for place of birth.
Death 2 Jan 1939
