Bob~ Here is the on line site for the New York Emigrant Savings Bank - http://www.genexchange.org/esb/index.cfm Another dealing with changing emigrant names - http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/aboutins/history/articles/NAMES.htm Remember that many given names of Irish as well as other nationalities have numerous forms. An example is the name Joanna, it is also Julia, Joan, Judith, Judy, Hannah (which can be Honora also). Won't even go into the versions of Mary. In the former given name, all of them were on documents relating to my husband's great grandmother in Ireland.

There is a Ginocchio who fought on the confederate side in the civil war but I am 99% sure he is not mine. My Louis Ginocchio doesn't seem to have applied for citizenship. I haven't looked at Emigrants Savings Bank records because I am not sure it can be done on line or through the LDS church. Louis Sr. is buried in Evergreens in Brooklyn in 1881 with a married daughter who died young in 1889. There is no wife buried there with him. If Mary died on Staten Island, and they had a lot there then why is he buried in Brooklyn? It is true that earlier I was looking for Julia Maloney, but her name on the childrens marriage records is listed as Mary. The family name is severely misspelled in the 1860 census as Genarkey, and this is why I didn't find them for so long myself. In 1865 on Staten Island, the name is listed as Ginnocker the head of the house being "Pat" born in Ireland, which is a complete mistake. Also "Ellen" along with two children instead of three by then. In 1870, they are still listed as Ginnocker. The entry reads Louis, age 37, machinist, born Italy. Ellen, age 30 born England, along with Julia, age 14, Sarah, age 10, and Louis, my g grandfather, age 9. Julia married James Emmons in May of 1874. She died in 1889 at age 33. Sarah married a man by the name of Martel but I don't have the date. She was a widow probably by 1890 and married an attorney, Patrick H. Loftus, in September of 1895. My g grandfather married Louise Barbieri in Nov. of 1881 at 22 Baxter St. Manhattan. Louis Sr. died Dec. 6, 1881, and was buried in Evergreens in Brooklyn. Louis Jr. is buried where I live in Windsor Locks, CT. Thank you for your help and ideas.
