I don't know what you mean by "on site" research but you can visit the office and have something researched on the spot. You cannot access their records yourself. You must have a date of death or a plot number along with the name of the deceased. Best regards.

Your emails re: Maritime service caused me to wonder if there are any websites or addresses I could contact to find information about my grandfather who was a dock builder in Brooklyn from about 1893 until the early 1990s. He came to this country from Canada and originally was working as a dock builder in Savannah, GA, which is where he applied for naturalization, but he was living in Brooklyn, NY when the naturalization process was final. On all the documentation I have, he lists his occupation as "dock builder". Does anyone know if there would be any records of employment available, and if so could you steer me in the right direction? Jan Styner jstyner1025@cs.com

Tracy Here's another long shot: The Port Authority of NY/NJ (http://www.panynj.gov) may be able to point you to a source from which you may be able to trace your ancestor's book number.

Take care, Tracy

My grandfather was a tug boat captain. He had his own boat & worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad. He remained a civilian during WWII. I imagine the Merchant Marine pass showed security clearance, which is why it was issued. He had throat cancer and was hospitalized at the US Naval Hospital in Baltimore. I never understood how he wound up in that hospital as opposed to King's County, but it's now beginning to make sense. The US Naval Hospital is now part of Johns Hopkins - whom I contacted regarding old records. They don't have any. I thought maybe I could get this 'z number' from the hospital records, but no such luck. My grandfather died in 1946, so I don't believe the VA came into the picture. I obtained a schedule of pension payments from the Railroad Retirement Board, but that was all they could give me. Is there any chance the RRB would have the 'z number' somewhere in their records? I know that's a long shot. Take care, Tracy

I have several crew list mentions for a relative who was working on ships coming in at the Port of New York (found on the Ellis Island site) around the 1920s. Most of the lists have a number next to each of the crew member's names. One of the lists includes the heading "Seaman's Certificate No." and the numbers are listed below this heading. I have already determined that my relative's number was the same on every list, and therefore had some meaning. Until I saw the seaman's certificate number listing I did not know if it was a passport number or something else. Is this certificate number the same sort of item that you are discussing, and if so, where do I find the records for it? I should also mention if the number is similar to what you are discussing, perhaps the person who is looking for their relative's number might find it written near their relative's name on a manifest of a ship's crew. Passenger arrivals should be indexed and searchable for that time frame. You can check these at the National Archives or rent them from a Family History Center. There is no letter in the number my relative had, simply numbers. Do I assume it is a "Z" number? (In other words, did they also have X, W, P, etc. numbers?) Debbie

Tracy My father also was in the Merchant Marine (US Maritime Service) during WWII. I have a copy of his "Certificate of Service" which shows the "Book Number" in the upper right hand corner and that number starts with "Z" followed by a 6 digit number. The Certificate of Service lists the seaman's name, the department of qualification and his rating. It also lists the date of qualification and the port at which it occurred. Other documents that I have which include this number are: Seaman's Certificate of Identification National Maritime Union Wartime Shipping Card Certificate of Discharge It does appear that this is similar to a service number. These records were passed down to me. One suggestion on finding your grandfather's records: The Merchant Marine were never considered to be "veterans" as such until about 10 years ago when the law was changed to allow WWII Merchant Mariners to receive veterans benefits medical treatment at the VA. I believe though that they needed to make application for those benefits, they were not automatically granted. Good luck. Let me know if I can help.

This info is very helpful. I would just caution everyone about registering your name or e-address on "about.com". I did once and started receiving overwhelming amts. or spam right away. They sell your name to advertisers....

Tracy: I hope that the following sites can be of help to you or anyone on the list. http://genealogy.about.com/cs/wwii/ and here is an other that tells how to trace someone who served in the military and how to obtain military service records: http://genealogy.about.com/cs/militaryrecords/ They are on Kimberly Powells site. Good Luck Jim

My grandfather was a tug boat captain. I understand that during WW II, anyone who worked on the water was required to obtain a Coast Guard/Merchant Marine pass. Following up on this tip, and after contacting several archives (including the Coast Guard historian), I was directed to the National Maritime Center, who holds personnel records. They informed me they can't perform a search for my grandfather unless I provide a 'z number' or 'book number'. What is a 'z' or 'book number'? Is this equivalent to a service number? How do I find out what my grandfather's number was? The only information I currently have is his employer during WWII and of course, all personal information (age, address, dob, ss#, etc). I would be grateful for any advice or assistance on this matter. I feel as though I'm chasing my tail! Take care, Tracy

Is any one familiar with Analecta Hibernica ... and its publisher? I know that is a journal of sorts that was / is?? published by the Gov't Pub. Sales Office in Dublin... at least it was in 1962. I believe it is a compilation of manuscripts, e.g., estate papers, that were too 'thin' to publish separately. Question is ... is this something one can or would wish subscribe to? Would appreciate any info ... Thanks very much. Pat Wood Fircrest, WA

I visited Calvary cemetery in NY yesterday and while looking for my relatives' graves, came across one of an O'Brien from Tipp. This is what the marker said: "Erected by Elizabeth O'Brien in Memory of her beloved husband Owen O'Brien, died Feb. 19, 1886, aged 35 years, Natives of Foxforth, Bansha, County Tipperary, Ireland" I just couldn't help stopping and taking a picture of this stone. If anyone is related, pls contact me and I'll e-mail you the picture. Agnes
