Just a chance to share how sporadic the records might be as one searches. For baptisms I have the following: Immaculate Conception: 1882, 1884, 1889, 1891 and 1894 The 1882, 1889 and 1894 babies had birth certificates with the Health Department. Immaculate Conception: 1882 and 1883 The 1882 baby here had a birth certificate but not her cousin born in 1883. St. Gabriel 1882, 1886, 1888, 1890 and 1893 These siblings all had birth certificates except the 1890 birth. St. Gabriel 1888 and 1893 Both had birth certificates but the 1893 birth was registered delayed in 1909. St. Stephen 1884 This baby had a birth certificate and was sibling to above St. Gabriel family(1882-1893) St. Raphael 1894, 1896 and 1898 The two later births had birth certificates. St. Raphael 1896 and 1905 The former birth had a birth certificate but not her half-brother in 1905. St. Raphael 1903, 1907 and 1912 The younger two had birth certificates. Holy Cross 1905, 1914 Both had birth certificates. Holy Cross 1891, 1892 and 1902 The 1891 had a birth certificate. Holy Cross 1890, 1892 and 1894 Only the 1894 had a birth certificate. Sacred Heart 1901 and 1909 Both had birth certificates.

I thought it would be interesting to share what records we on the list have and which ones have a corresponding civil record. This is what I have regarding family marriages in Manhattan between 1872-1929: 1872 marriage certificate and liber book registration from Health Department stating marriage took place at St. Michael 1878 marriage certificate from Immaculate Conception; there is no Health Department record of this event 1881 marriage certificate from Holy Cross; there is no Health Department record of this event c. 1881 marriage on west side where there is no Health Department record of the marriage 1882 marriage certificate from Immaculate Conception; there is no Health Department record of this event c. 1885 marriage on west side where there is no Health Department record of the marriage c. 1890 marriage on west side where there is no Health Department record of the marriage 1892 marriage certificate from St. Gabriel; there is no Health Department record of this event c.1898 marriage on east side where there is no Health Department record of the marriage c. 1900 marriage on west side where there is no Health Department record of the marriage 1902 marriage certificate from Health Department stating marriage took place at St. Augustine in the Bronx 1903 marriage certificate from Holy Cross; there is no Health Department record of this event 1905 marriage certificate from Health Department stating marriage took place at Epiphany 1919 marriage certificate from Ascension and City Clerk marriage license; NO Health Department record 1920 marriage certificate from Ascension and City Clerk marriage license; NO Health Department record 1929 marriage certificate from Ascension, City Clerk marriage license AND a Health Department certificate

I am trying to get one of my brothers to test for Y-DNA for my paternal haplogroup with the Hanlon surname. So far I haven't been able to interest any of them to take the test so I figure that I will have to come up with purchasing the test, collecting their DNA and sending it off. Oh, the troubles the oldest sister in a family with 3 younger brothers can have!! There is a Hanley (with variations) surname group through Family Tree DNA that I would be interested in joining as soon as I can get my brothers' DNA sample sent off. I have found that my great-grandfather, Marcus A. Hanlon, was born in April 1841 in Ballyduff, County Offaly. His father, John Norman Hanlon was born in 1809 in the same county according to his death certificate from 1876. So I have a bit of a lead there. I have lots of maternal cousins to test the maternal Y-DNA but as I am the only one considered the family historian, don't think it is as important to them as it is to me.

Mary Anne, What is your mtDNA haplogroup, H? It's my understanding that mtDNA haplogroup H "over wintered" on the Iberian Peninsula with Y-DNA haplogroup R1b during the last ice age about 4,000 years ago. Those are my paternal haplogroups.
