Hello to all, I am researching a New York family of 10 children and firstly would like to ask where is or was Whitestown, Flushing and Jefferson places shown for childrens births. Next I have the birth of last child shown as Whitestown, Flushing and death of mother same date shown as Carlton, Orleans NY, somehow think this could be wrong, how far apart are these places. Thirdly where would I search for probate or intestate of father who died five years later, and possibly gaurdianship of the younger children. Many thanks Toni in NZ

If you assume that the location really is Whitestown (in Oneida Co.), then the only thing that's impossible is the Flushing reference. One of your sources has to be wrong, since the mother couldn't give birth in Queens County (or even Oneida County) and die in Orleans County on the same day. Where was the family living on the 1830 census?

OK-- Whitestone (not Whitestown) is right next to Flushing in Queens County, so maybe that works, considering that nobody in those days spelled anything consistently. But there's no way the mother could have died the same day the 10th child was born if the child was born there and the mother died in Carlton, Orleans County. Today, maybe, if she flew, but not in 1833. Clearly something is wrong in those records. Are they Bible entries? I know I've seen many errors in those because people often filled them in after the fact, sometimes a whole generation later. One thing you might try is the US Census in 1830. It's head of household's name only, but it would tell you if someone by the right name with a family of people the right age-range lived in Queens County. Then try 1840 for whichever name you think would have assumed head of household status in Queens County, NY and anywhere in Michigan that you may know of. Don't give up yet!

What was the occupation of the head of household? Perhaps he was a journeyman craftsman, or a seasonal worker. I have one who was a cooper--when he'd made all the barrels the community needed, he'd move on--crossed Ohio that way. Another left Maine making and selling spinning wheels. In NYS there was a group of homebuilders that built houses of local stone work--one sees them every once in a while going west in the Mohawk Valley--probably now historic sites. When the house was done, they went to the next town where someone wanted a house like that. I think it was a German or Dutch group, but don't quote me on that part. Sometimes blacksmiths moved about a lot, too. Do any of these people appear in an 1840 census? I would place a low bet on Whitestown being Whitestone myself. Perhaps the mother was sick at the last--went back to relatives to heal. Look at the names on the census pages before and after--sometimes family members are nearby, especially if there's illness. This lady was birthing children pretty fast.

Toni, It would be hard for these places to be farther apart and still be all within New York State! Carlton, Orleans County is bordering Lake Ontario in western NY and Flushing is in Queens County on Long Island. Today, Queens County is part of New York City. Whitestown is in the middle of the state near Utica. I don't see anyplace resembling Flushing near there on my map. (There is a Whitestone in Queens County not too far from Flushing). Jefferson is in Schoharie County in the Catskill Mountain area of Southern NY. There are several other places with Jefferson in their names, but none of them are very close to any of the other towns named. Unless these place names were in existence at an earlier time near each other, you have a real mystery here. To search for probate of father, you'd need to know where and when he died. That isn't clear from what you've written, but if you do know, you might want to get help from the local County Historical Society.

Hi Toni in NZ, Because you did not include years, here's a partial answer: Prior to January 1, 1898, Whitestone and Flushing were both villages (municipal corporations) in the Town of Flushing in Queens County, and since that date, they are neighborhoods in the New York City Borough of Queens (coterminous with the New York State County of Queens). Jefferson is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the Town of Jefferson in Schoharie County. (There is also Port Jefferson, a village in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County.) Orleans is a town in Jefferson County. Probate search would be in the Surrogate's Court in the County where the person died, which may be different from the County where the person was residing immediately prior to death. I'm including after my name a NYS Geographic Glossary with the NYS definitions of county, city, town, village, hamlet and postal zone. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5767, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY * L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH) Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, Rosh ha Shannah, because it will occur on Shabbat (Sabbath), begins 18 minutes before sunset on Friday, September 22 on the civil calendar. .....Cities, Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Postal Zones in New York State New York State is divided into counties. County A county is a municipal corporation, a subdivision of the state, created to perform state functions; a "regional" government. All counties are divided into cities, towns and Indian reservations. City A city is a unique governmental entity with its own special charter. Cities are not sub-divided, except into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Town A town is a municipal corporation and encompasses all territory within the state except that within cities or Indian reservations. Towns can be sub-divided into villages and hamlets. Village A village is a general purpose municipal corporation formed voluntarily by the residents of an area in one or more towns to provide themselves with municipal services. The pattern of village organization is similar to those of a city. A village is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Hamlet A hamlet is an unincorporated area in one or more towns that is governed at-large by the town(s) it is in. A hamlet is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Postal Zone "City" and "Town" A postal zone "City" and "Town" is an administrative district established by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the mail. Postal zone "City" and "Town" may not (but are encouraged to) conform to municipal or community borders. Thus, postal zone location does not always determine city, village or hamlet location. Please be aware: In many areas of New York State, the problem of non-conforming postal zones leads to a situation where the majority of places have a different community name in their mailing address than the community where that place is actually located.

Thanks to Nancy and others for pointing out my error with respect to The Catskills and Lake Place - specifically the fact the the latter is not a part of the former. This was my mistake. There are definitely family photos labeled "In the Catskills, 1966", etc. so I know they did summer there. It was another family member (who would have been quite young at the time and not 100% reliable) who recalled being in Lake Placid. Thanks, Graeme.

Hello, Don't know how to solve your problems, but the Catskills are in southeastern NY, and Lake Placid is about as far north as you can go in NY...it's in the Adirondacks, up near the Canadian border. Need those frigid northern winters for the Winter Olympics. If you know where he lived you can ask for a city directory lookup on the appropriate city or county list. Or on the Rootsweb city directories list. Most of the publishers list the death dates of working people in the directory the following year. With the specific date you could try to find a volunteer to lookup an obit in the city of his death. ~Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graeme Boocock" <grbb@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk> To: <GEN-NYS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 7:27 PM Subject: Arnheim & Loewenheim in New York > Hello, > > I have posted on a similar subject previously, but am sending out > something > similar again due to frustration. > > Essentially, I am interested in finding the relatives of an elderly German > in-law.

Hello, I have posted on a similar subject previously, but am sending out something similar again due to frustration. Essentially, I am interested in finding the relatives of an elderly German in-law. His family history has been somewhat shrouded in mystery (mostly due to an unwillingness to discuss anything about the WWII period), although very details have emerged over the years. His mother, Clara Arnheim (or Loewenheim - spelling uncertain) was probably born in the 1890s (son b: 1917) and left Germany for New York state just before (or just after) WWII. She was following her younger brother, one "Zep" (short for something but I don't know what), probably surnamed Loewenheim (but possibly Arnheim). This Zep was a physician who left Germany for New York city prior to WWII, apparently because he was a member of the Social Democrats and out-of-favour with the nazis. Again, there is some uncertainty about surnames here - specifically which one was Clara's maiden name (and therefore Zep's name), and which was the name of her second husband who died before she emigrated. There is cutlery in the family bearing the initial "A" which we were told stands for Arnheim. Spelling are also a bit uncertain. Jewish ancestry is suspected. They used to summer in the Catskills (Lake Placid), where the rest of the family visited them on a number of occasions. I have photos of Clara there. Family used to write to Clara care of a Mr. Zimmerman. Maddeningly, I have been unable to find Clara's death record in the SSDI on ancestry.com (she died 1972-73-ish). I have also been unable to find anything for Zep. I only know he had at least one daughter named Alice. Here are some questions: 1. Is there some other way I could look up death records other than the SSDI? It is possible Clara didn't work after emigrating. 2. Are there accessible immigration records for the 1930-onward period? 3. Is there any way to research New York state physicians? I would think a forename beginning with "Z" would be relatively uncommon. Thank you for your help, Graeme. --- Cambridge
