Julie, In the 1850 census, Jefferson Co., Dist. 3, page 238, I found the following: Dwelling # 72, Family # 72: William SEID, 22, M, Clothier, b. Michigan Algunda SEID, 53, F, b. Germany Mary SEID, 19, F, b. Michigan Charles SEID, 17, M, Clerk, b. Michigan Caroline SEID, 14, F, b. Michigan Aurelia SEID, 12, F, b. Michigan Is this possibly the right family? If so, I'll keep checking the other census indexes. No RIDEL in Jefferson Co. in 1850. Pat Settle Julie Barnard wrote: Can you check for the names SIED and RIDEL in Jefferson County for me? The family changed its surname sometime between 1837 and 1851, so maybe the census data will give me a clue. Names I have are: Frederick (father and son), Adelgunda (mother and daughter), Emily, Charles, Wilhelmina, Caroline. Thank you so much. Julie --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Could you look up Riche, Richy, Richey? or a Pauline Labro? Thanks

There was orphanage on Baxter Ave. (Bardstown Rd.) at that time--where the Mid City Mall is now located. Perhaps county archives has records.

I really intended my offer for look-ups to be for death certificates from 1911 to 1951, brought about by someone bemoaning having to pay for several death certificates of the same name, when only one might be the wrong one. You have my sympathies. The Halls are a NIGHTMARE to research!!! There is a Hall under every rock and behind every tree in Bullitt Co., and along both sides of the Bullitt- Jefferson Co. line. I have been looking for Clifton Wallace Hall, son of Harry P. Hall and Ellen Stephens for several years. I can find the family in Ohio in the 1920's but not in KY. I can't even find Harry at all as a boy in KY. Yet I know that with the name Clifton, he has to be related to the Simeon Hall family in Bullitt Co. Tell me a bit more about your Henry. What was his wife's name, and where is she buried? I have the 1880 census.

Pat, thank you for the reply. I forgot to say that I think it was a Catholic Boys School.. But I will check this out.Sincerely, Patty

Donna, Thanks for the reply. I will give it a try!!!! Sincerely, Patty

Patty, Boy's Haven is out, it was founded in 1950. There was another by the name of Ormsby Village, official name Louisville and Jefferson Co. childrens home and operated between 1920 - 1968. It was in the Lyndon area. Actually Patty there are also a couple other possibilities....you can email me directly for the other info.

Patty, I know the St. Joseph Orphanage occupants are listed in the 1930 census, I haven't looked at the list in the 1920. I need to check to see when another was founded, it is named Boy's Haven. I can check the Louisville Encyclopedia to see when that was founded.

Dear Listers, I thought I remembered it was at 1250 Bardstown Rd! I went to school with kids from that orphanage for many years (1942-1950) Tom the bewildered. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Settle" <psettle@yahoo.com> To: <KYJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 7:47 PM Subject: Re: [KYJEFFER] 1920 Census Kentucky/BigDeb??? > > Patty, > My grandfather and two of his younger brothers were sent to the German Protestant Orphan's Home in 1896 when their parents died.

Hello friends, I am trying to figure out how to find my grandfather & his brother in the 1920 Ky/Jefferson/ Census. These two boys were the product of a divorce. Vincent Arnold b. Nov.15.1913 William Arnold b. Nov.07.1915 Bothe born in Louisville. Parents Lawrence P. Arnold & Elizabeth Mary Byerly. They divorced sometime between 1916-1920...I found both parents living with their OWN PARENTS after the divorce..but no boys?? Since 1920 is indexed..I thought it would be easy to find them. My grandfather William is still living but not too sure. He says he lived in a "Boys Home In Louisville". Both boys eventually ran away from the home. After their mother remarried..they settled in Chicago. No luck from St. Vincents Orphanage.. Any suggestions???? Sincerely, Patty

Patty, My grandfather was in St. Joseph's Orphanage in Louisville, 1891-1896. The University of Kentucky in Louisville has the records. The children did not necessarily have to be Catholic. This orphanage was still standing a few years ago. It was being used as a day-care and still in very good condition. Good Luck in your search. Donna

I also have that Encyclopedia of Louisville and have read the article about Hubers. It is well written and interesting. >Simon Huber migrated from Baden- Baden Germany, in 1843, bringing apple trees to plant at his new home in Starlight.< For anyone interested in Hubers I have documented records which prove Simon, and family emigrated from the Village of Waltersweier, Baden on 11 Sept. 1830; arrived at the Port of New Orleans on 6 Dec,. 1830 and settled in KY. In 1839 the deed concerning the Starlight IN land reads " Simon Huber of Jefferson Co. KY" purchased 160 acres of land in Clark Co,. IN for $2000. The Hubers in the article are descendants of Simon's 4th son Ignatius Huber born 1825, who inherited part of that land. My great grandfather was Simon's 2nd son Joseph Huber born 1822. Simon's youngest son Dr. Matthew Huber, born 1829 has several descendants in the Louisville area. Elisabeth W. Salyer in VA Elisabeth W. Salyer elws@mounet.com

Huber-Herrick was an appliance store on Third Street, on the back side of the Heyburn Building. The store closed in the late 1980's I think. My dad used to do appliance installations for them in the 1960's as a side job. Mr. Herrick was a large man with lots of white hair. He was always very nice to me, and quite genial.
