Capital District Scottish Games

[Jack Daw]

I went to these games a few years ago to compete in the solo piping competitions. I competed in the morning, but the afternoon was a wash-out of rain. I had to leave on Sunday and missed the games preptty much altogether. I need to go back because I have since discovered that my 5 times great-grandfather was in the Second Regiment of the Albany County Militia and lived in Schenectady. He had a tradesman shop within the stockade. I need to get up there and firm up my documentation, and get a few questions answered. If I can conjoin both trips (one to Altamont and the other to Schenectady (and Albany), all the better!
