Do you ever "connect" to an ancestor or two... for reasons you sometimes can't explain? I have that unexplained but special connection with a few of my ancestors, including one who was a member of the NY Police Department from 1902 - 1925. I am hoping to fill in some of the gaps in his life history by obtaining what information I can. Perhaps you can help by doing an OBIT lookup?? DATE: September 12, 1952. ***** THANKS ***** James E.
