Are the Voter Registration Cards a onetime registration for the applicant?. In other words, when ordering the card(s), do you provide E.D.'s for all of the years and the Archives searches all years for any existing Registration? It sounds like you provided an E.D. for 1890 and they searched and found a registration for 1890.

The Enumeration District and the New York City Assembly District are right at the top on the Census page, above all the rest of the information. The E.D. is all the way over on the right side. The A.D. is where it says "Borough of Manhattan" or whatever Borough your person resided in, followed by the Ward and the Assembly District. Anyone who has a Census subscription like Ancestry.com can very easily look it up. If your public library has Ancestry.com or any one of the other companies like Heritage Quest that carries the Census (and most libraries do) you can easily look it up. You can subscribe to Ancestry for one month and get all your people. At worst, if you have only one or two people, ask someone on this list who has a Census subscription at Ancestry to look it up for you!Researching: Costello (Galway and Mayo), Cotter, Durcan/Durkin, Higgins, Lynch, Raftree/Raftery (Galway), Shannon, Sullivan, Amacher, Baur, Bove, Cremer, Ehlen, Fischer, Gansberg, Giefer, Hamacher, Hense/Henseler, Hofmann/Hoeffeler, Jackler/Jackelen, Jaegers, Koch, Kratz, Krebs, Marlo/Marlot/Morlo, Mueller/Meller, Mertes, Pick, Reetz, Rheinges,Reichardt/Reichert, Rick, Schmieden, Seitz/Zeidt, vonAlleman/Vollerman, vonMeer, Weiskopf, Zens, Albright, Compton, Corselius, Clemens/Clements, Daly (Galway), Early, Fallon (Galway), Greene (Waterford), Callaghan, Fitzgerald, McGrath (Waterford), Moss, Mullenix/Mullinax, Prichard, Reilly/O'Riley/Reiley, Shelly, Shook, Tye.> From: jmnorthern@comcast.net> To: irish-new-york-city@rootsweb.com> Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 07:04:27 -0700> Subject: Re: [IRISH-NYC] voter registration records> > Are the Voter Registration Cards a onetime registration for the applicant?.> In other words, when ordering the card(s), do you provide E.D.'s for all of> the years and the Archives searches all years for any existing Registration?> It sounds like you provided an E.D. for 1890 and they searched and found a> registration for 1890.> > Joseph Martin> Vacaville, Ca> > -----Original Message-----> From: irish-new-york-city-bounces@rootsweb.com> [mailto:irish-new-york-city-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mary Colbert> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 6:39 AM> To: irish-new-york-city@rootsweb.com> Subject: [IRISH-NYC] voter registration records> > > Yes, I had success with voter registration records - I got the 1890 records> for my great grandfather.

All of my Irish friends and relatives always refer to "The Bronx" but never to "The Brooklyn" or "The Queens". Why? Don
Mostly everyone calls it "The Bronx". Good question on why tho! Maybe it was considered many municipalities in one whereas Brooklyn and Queens are single entities?? hmmm On 4/10/08, Don Haney <pdhaney@comcast.net> wrote: > > All of my Irish friends and relatives always refer to "The Bronx" but > never > to "The Brooklyn" or "The Queens". > > Why? > > Don > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > IRISH-NEW-YORK-CITY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
According to www.jewishgen.org, NYC required annual registration until 1957. But like today, someone would be more likely to register during a presidential election year. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Martin" <jmnorthern@comcast.net> To: <irish-new-york-city@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [IRISH-NYC] voter registration records > Are the Voter Registration Cards a onetime registration for the > applicant?. > In other words, when ordering the card(s), do you provide E.D.'s for all > of > the years and the Archives searches all years for any existing > Registration? > It sounds like you provided an E.D. for 1890 and they searched and found a > registration for 1890. > > Joseph Martin > Vacaville, Ca > > -----Original Message----- > From: irish-new-york-city-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:irish-new-york-city-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mary > Colbert > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 6:39 AM > To: irish-new-york-city@rootsweb.com > Subject: [IRISH-NYC] voter registration records > > > Yes, I had success with voter registration records - I got the 1890 > records > for my great grandfather.
