Hi Researching the following families; 1900 to 1949 Queens County & Kings County. Thomas MULLEN & Bridget-Queens County 1900 to 1908 James A. LEDDY & Ella (Ella) Kings County 1900 1915 William GRAFF & Magdalina Queens County 1900 to 1968 Also Patrick MULLEN 1900 to 1925. Either Queens County or Kings County. Any one else researching these names? Nan
I've also seen several times a son's first or middle name is his mother's maiden name. This can sometimes prove an invaluable clue!
Based on the book “In Search Of Your British & Irish Roots” by Angus Baxter, between 1700-1875 there was a “Naming Pattern” of children. It went as follows: -The first son was named after the father’s father (paternal grandfather) -The second son was named after the mother’s father (maternal grandfather) -The third son was named after the father *The fourth son was named after the father’s eldest -The first daughter was named after the mother’s mother (maternal grandmother) -The second daughter was named after the father’s mother (paternal grandmother) -The third daughter was named after the mother *The fourth daughter was named after the mother’s eldest sister In my own research I have seen this pattern duplicated over and over again. This is one of the main reasons finding the exact ancestor is so difficult. But this pattern can also be quite useful. For example, if you know the name of your great-grandfather and know all his children’s names then, by using this pattern you can usually figure out what his father and grandfather's names were. The same goes for your great-grandmother and so on. My grandmother, Celina, was named after her mother’s mother, Celinis (Celina). John Albert Berryman Wills named his first son William. I recently found out that John’s father’s name was William Wills. The same pattern was set for my Irish ancestors. The only problem is if a man has four sons and each one of them name their first son after their father, as done with my Cranney family in Ireland, you could have four James Cranneys all born close together. Trying to sort out which one is your direct ancestor will set your head spinning.! If you are searching for ancestors in the United Kingdom try out this naming pattern. If you’re up against the proverbial “brick wall” it might help.

Thank you Ellen! It was very sweet of you to look these up for me. I really appreciate it. I didn't realize there were so many Thomas J Cassidys in NY in 1910. Now I have to narrow it down. Thanks again, Tracy
Hi List--How does one begin to obtain a baptism cert from a NYC church ? John
Probably about 20 or 30 Catholic churches were pretty close. They were often 4-6 blocks apart in those days when 1000-1500 people were often living on one square block in NYC and one square block formed an entire Census ED! Go to the Archdiocese of NY web site and go through the addresses. You will see when each parish was formed. Some of those old churches have now closed, and you can learn there on that site which existing church is storing the old records from the closed church. Contact those that interest you and ask them what their boundaries were in the old days. Another notion is to contact the Archdiocesan Archivist ..... perhaps there are old maps from the 19th century and early 20th century of parish boundaries that we could acquire and put up on the Irish-NYC web site for all to share!!! Perhaps the Archivist has TONS of stuff we'd love to have on the web site!!! --- Snaturequest@aol.com wrote: > What Catholic church's were located close to E 17th > street in NYC in 1880 ? > Thank You > John Scanlon > > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

They generally named the first son for the father's father. This may or may not have also been the father's name.

Go the the web site of the NYC Archdiocese, find the church listed with it's address and phone, and call for info or write directly (enclosing a contribution check for $25) to the church.
