Made distinction between New York City/State
Jul 22, 2014 at 6:39 comment added PolyGeo @JanMurphy I was not aware of that site but just visited and had no luck with searches for their names. I noticed nothing recognisable as an Albany newspaper in their holdings.

Oct 21, 2012 at 3:43 comment added PolyGeo Yes - Robert John Steven Sellers was my great-great-grandfather so I know his line well - all here in Australia; mostly in Adelaide; he was visiting Sydney when he died. Family story is he and his brother (I think it must have been William - two years his junior) went to sea and he jumped ship in Adelaide or Melbourne. I've found one record of William as a ship's mate and there is a death record in Adelaide 1912 that may be his. However, I think the bulk of the Sellars family ended their days in Scotland.
Oct 20, 2012 at 20:41 comment added Rob Hoare I see you're aware Robert John Steven Sellers likely married in Victoria (Australia) and died in NSW. Might be worth looking more around Australia for deaths of the others.
Oct 20, 2012 at 7:35 comment added PolyGeo @GeneJ Are you able to see this Ancestry.com link? I have a number of Scottish census records for that period for family except father.
Oct 20, 2012 at 2:25 comment added GeneJ You mention census records. Have you located in the father and/or family in an 1850 era census? 1860 era?
Oct 20, 2012 at 0:38 comment added efgen Thanks for splitting the question. I know plenty about New York records, nothing about Panama records :-)

Splitting question on advice of @efgen (and common sense)
Oct 19, 2012 at 0:10 comment added efgen Would you consider separating this question into two different questions, one for New York and one for Panama? The resources for each location will be very different, so I'm thinking it would be better to have two focused questions rather than one question.
