I have a book called The GraveYard Shift. It lists cemeteries in New York City. There are two sections to this cemetery The First Calvary and the Old Calvary. Both rich and poor are buried here as were some Civil War Catholics. Maybe fireman and veterans have a similar headstone? The cemetery would have noted when the headstone was placed. Burial records available for a fee.

Hi, I'm working on a family-friend's genealogy, and am interested in advice on how to proceed. The family name is Hickok, and I have gotten back to one George A. Hickok, who, according to 1910 Missouri census info, was born in Illinois circa 1868. It seems to me that the next step is to try to locate George A.'s family in the 1870 census for Illinois. The problem is that I have no idea where in Illinois this family might have lived, circa 1870, and that there appears to be no soundex for the 1870 census, so I'm kind of stumped on how to continue. Thank you in advance for any advice/help. John Maineville, Ohio, USA P.S. I posted this message twice over the past 2 days to soc.genealogy.methods, but the message never posted. My posts to other newsgroups go up OK, but not at soc.genealogy.methods. Can anyone explain why this is happening? (All my "view"/display options are set to display all posts, including my own...) This has me stumped!

I am wondering if someone with access to Ancestry.com's Historical Newspaper collection could do a lookup for me. I am looking for information on my maternal grandfather, Omar William BOONE. A search under that name for the state of West Virginia, between the years 1920-1950 shows eight possible references in their collection for the Charleston Daily Mail. I would appreciate any assistence in finding out what is there. Thank you. John Nichols [email protected]

Thanks for the reply. The problem is, my family was very poor, so that is why I wonder about the stone. It looks expensive and I know they did not have any money!

IŽm searching for two brothers of my grandfather who emigrated to USA from Sweden. They lived in Keräsjoki in the county Norrbotten. All I know are that they left earliest in the end of 1800 but most probably they left sometimes in the beginning of 1900 or the middle. Their names was Hans Petter, born 1877 and Carl Oskar, born 1885. I believe their last name was Oskarsson because that was my grandfathers name. Hans Petter hadnŽt the same father as Carl Oskar and he could maybe have used the name Hannanpoika wich was the name his mother gave him when he was born and before she met Oskar Raumaniemi wich she married and who where the father of the rest of her children (Erik William born 1880, Hanna Karolina born 1882, Hilda Wilhelmina born 1889, Fanny Matilda born 1895). Maybe the brothers changed the spelling of the last name a little in USA. I also can think that Carl Oskar, the youngest one, maybe siad he was a little older than he was, because 1900 he was only 15. Hope soemone can help to find out what happened to them and if thereŽs living relatives "over there". Thanks in advance for all help. R-M Simu [email protected]

http://www.newsday.com/extras/lihistory/5/hs517a.htm My GG Father's headstone at Calvary in Queens, NY looks like the tall gray stones in the picture in the above link. He died in 1880 and I am trying to determine if it was placed after his death or is the stone too new and was erected years after his burial. Are those stones from the 1880s or some time after?
