Lynette, Thanks so much for the info and I'll cross this Eleanor PICKERING off my list of "suspects". I truly appreciate the help trying to solve my Eleanora J. DANIEL puzzle. Judy, Full Run Farm, GA Great Dane rescuer www.fullrunfarm.com www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA363.html

Thanks a million to Joan for the look up I requested from the 1942 city directory on PICKERING and the Rampart address. I'd like to enlist the great minds of this list in helping me decipher the info I have and/or find additional info on Eleanora J. DANIEL, my mothers cousin. Thought I might have caught a break with the PICKERING name, but probably not. This is what I do have: Walter Nicator DANIEL m. Estelle Celia (on MO marriage cert) Eugenia (on AL death cert) GREGORY in MO and moved to Louisville, KY. They had daughter Eleanora J. DANIEL 11 Sept 1913 per KY birth cert. They moved to Phenix City, AL around 1920, home of Julia Ann Daniel FULLER, Walter's mother who dies in 1922. Estelle DANIEL died 3 Dec 1928 having lived in PC, AL for 8 yrs and being survived by husband Walter and daughter Eleanora, per her obit. 1930 census has Walter and Eleanora living in Mobile, AL. Time goes by and I find Walter's death cert in NOLA, 3 Mar 1965, having lived in NOLA for 35 years, widow, retired government work. The informant signs the name Elenore DANIEL living at the same address as Walter on Thalia. Walter is buried at the Garden of Memories in Metairie so I contacted them for info. They told me the plot was paid for by Elenore DANIEL but when they sent the deed registered mail to the residence, it was returned unopened. Previous attempts looking up Eleanora/Elenore DANIEL in the 1963-65 city directory produced no results. There is no grave marker for Walter. I recently came across Walter's WWll registration card and it lists him living at 926 Poydras and "the name and address of person who will always know your address" was Mrs. Eleanor PICKERING at 228 N. Rampart (actually spelled Ramrart on the form), tho it doesn't specifically list NOLA as the city and state. I was hoping to find that Mrs. PICKERING was his daughter but the info in the 1942 city directory is not helpful. Thru volunteers, I've never found an obit or a will. Leitz-Egan Funeral Home on Magazine St. handled the remains, I contacted them but they never got back with me. One last thing I have been looking into, I found an Eleanor Pearl PICKERING on the SSDI whose DOB was listed as 20 Sept 1911 which is very similar to Walter's daughter's b-day, so I'm checking into to her death cert to see if it might be. Her obit doesn't list her maiden name or her husbands name. So, that's what I'm up against. I look on line every few months to see if some information has been added that might help me find Eleanora J. DANIEL, but am still not having any luck. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I might look to find her, please feel free to share. Sorry this is so long but I didn't want anyone to waste their time looking up stuff I already have. I've even looked thru all 5000+ names on the SSDI with the DOB 9-11-1913. And I have searched info under every spelling and nickname I could think of, not limited to the obvious! Thanks for your time~ Judy, Full Run Farm, GA Great Dane rescuer www.fullrunfarm.com www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA363.html

Judy, the Eleanor Pearl Pickering born in 1911 and who died in 2001 is apparently not the Eleanore Daniel you are looking for. Someone on Ancestry.com interested in the Reeder family has the photo of her tombstone, and she was buried in the same plot as her mother, Emma Pearl Kersey (whose maiden name was Reeder) who was the wife of Rudolph Kersey. Name on her tombstone is Eleanor Pearl Pickering. This is the same Eleanor who seems to have been married first to James Curtis Coleman in Missouri and then a Pickering in CA. --- On Fri, 11/26/10, tudemurdog <[email protected]> wrote: > From: tudemurdog <[email protected]> > Subject: [LAORLEAN] Eleanora J.

Dear Judy, I tracked down the image on www.ancestry.com of the 1942 City Directory for N. Rampart Street. What is listed there for 228 is not a Pickering, but a man called Albert Nyman. When I cross-checked that name with the 1930 Census, I found someone by that name married with no children, born in 1874. I don't know the streets of New Orleans well, and cannot recognize the name he lives on. It is not Rampart. It ends in a "y." The addresses around there on Rampart Street are mostly commercial. The Census listed Mr. Nyman as a Marine Engineer. Perhaps Rampart Street is an office? Since I can't send image over the list, and I don't know if you have Ancestry, I'll send both the City Directory page and the Census page to your tudemurdog address. If anyone else wants to see what I found, let me know. (The exact directions to the City Directory Page are: Go to U.S. City Directories. Do not use Name. For Lived In put New Orleans. Do not use Event. Put 228 N Rampart in More Keyword Put 1942 in Directory Group Year) I had 50 outcome images coming up on a page. The one I wanted was number 52, number 2 on the second page. Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the rapid response on the PICKERING obit. It doesn't list her maiden name or her husbands name so maybe her husband's name is listed in 1942 city directory. Thanks~ Judy, Full Run Farm, GA Great Dane rescuer www.fullrunfarm.com www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA363.html

I did some checking on Eleanor Pickering for you. I found a telephone listing for her son in Tracy, CA, then I backtracked and I found a birth listing for that same son in CA. Eleanor's maiden name was listed as Kersey. So, I then found her on the 1920 and 1930 censuses in Jackson, Missouri (Kansas City) with her parents Rudolph Kersey and mother Pearl Kersey. In 1930 she was living in Jackson, Mo. with her mother and they both resided with her sister Lucy and husband Charles Birgam or Birgan. On both censuses Eleanor was listed as having been born in Arkansas. Missouri marriage records listed an Eleanor Pearl Kersey (born abt. 1912)who married James Curtis Coleman on Sept. 10, 1938. Charles Birgan signed the marriage certificate as a witness. Apparently this was a first marriage. I think the Eleanor you're looking for was named Kersey but I can't find the first name of her Pickering husband. Hope this helps you.

Does anyone have access to the 1942-45 city directory? I'm looking for Eleanor PICKERING, actually her husbands name, who lived at 228 N. Rampart in 1942. Or, does anyone have a script to genealogybank.com that would look up Eleanor PICKERING obit 3 Feb 2001 in Vacaville, CA? Thanks for any assistance~ Judy, Full Run Farm, GA Great Dane rescuer www.fullrunfarm.com www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA363.html

Lately I got a message from Newspaper Archives. I had come up with that one time after a google search and filled in my ancestor's name...thinking that they would give some answers.....and it said I had some free days, but asked for my credit card number....which I am leery to give.... Has anyone had any experience with Newspaper Archives? Thanks for any incite, Helen Smith

Hi, Does anyone have a subscription to Find My Past? I could use a couple of lookups. Colleen

Gene.You hit the mother load. This is definitely the families for which I was searching. St. Louis was their eventual destination. I noticed the passenger list you sent started at passenger 191. Did Ancestry allow you to download the entire passenger list or just this one page. If you have the rest of it, please forward them to me. I expect I'll find the remaining three members of the Laurent family - Louis, Marguerite, and Marcel - somewhere in the list. Or the ship could have been full in their class and the remaining family members took the next ship out.

Another source of information is the William's Research Center in New Orleans. They have an e-mail contact which is [email protected] I sent a query to them one time about immigration records for my H. E. Lehmann and they looked through their records and told me that he must have come through New York...which records they don't have. They must have records for those who came directly to New Orleans.

List, In my description of what I sent to Rikard, I said that I had sorted by Ship Name and Date. That is not what I did. I sorted by Place of Entry.and Date. If anyone wants to see this document, it might help Rikard and me sort out the information he is looking for. It is definitely too big to send via the List.

Rikard, This angel has a mind of her own. I used the www.ancestry.com with the following database: About Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s Every American with immigrant ancestors needs the "Passenger and Immigration List Index: 2009 edition, 1500s-1900s" - especially for those seeking ancestors prior to the 1820s. This important work is the best, if not the only place to go for tracing relatives to early colonial America and beyond. Updated for 2008, this data set contains listings of approximately 4,712,000 individuals who arrived in United States and Canadian ports from the 1500s through the 1900s. Updated annually, the "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index" was compiled by P. William Filby and published by Gale Research. This resource includes individuals included in the "Index" and all supplements through the year 2008. While researching passenger lists can often be tedious and difficult, this data set makes finding information on your immigrant ancestors easier than ever. Each entry has been indexed by name and is searchable by keyword. The "Genealogical Journal" hailed the printed version of the "Passenger and Immigration List Index" as "one of the greatest contributions to genealogical literature in the last decade." Prior to 1820, most ships coming to America did not keep documentation of who was on board. Immigration was more of a trickle than a flood. Many individuals traveled to their destination on uncomfortable, rat-infested cargo ships -- usually only five, ten, maybe thirty passengers suffered through the trip together. Because of this, pinpointing documentation of your ancestors' journey to pre-1820 America can be almost impossible. Simply put, very little information exists today that could help. That's why the Passenger and Immigration List Index proves such an invaluable resource for family history enthusiasts. Thousands of different records have been used to compile this index, everything from original passenger lists to personal diaries. The result is the only compilation of passenger lists this comprehensive -- and the search goes on. The publishers provide yearly supplements as their research uncovers new immigration data. The supplement for 2008 added approximately 124,000 new names! For each individual listed, you may find the following information: a.. Name and age a.. Year and place of arrival a.. Naturalization or other record of immigration a.. Source of record a.. Names of all accompanying family members together with their age and relationship to the primary individual For example, you may be able to establish a record similar to this one: Aab Wilhelm was 38 when he arrived in Baltimore in 1850 accompanied by his wife Elisabeth Stoll, son Heinrich, and daughter Elisabeth. The original source of the information is also provided. By locating the original source document, you may be able to determine additional details such as the name of the ship on which your ancestors sailed and the location of their naturalization. This data set was published in collaboration with Gale Research, Inc. Beginning with the now-classic "Encyclopedia of Associations," first published in 1954, Gale products have become essentials on the reference shelves of every major library worldwide. Generally, you'll find the following information about an individual included in this data set: Name - In this field you will find the individual's given name and surname. You should note that names of immigrants were often recorded as they were heard and that many immigrants could not spell their own names. Thus, spelling variations of names occur and members of the same family arriving at different times or places may be found under a different spelling. If you are unable to locate a particular given name and surname, try switching the given name to an initial, abbreviation, or possible misspelling. If the surname is not common, you may wish to search only on the surname. Place - This field provides the location of the port through which the individual immigrated. Year - This field lists an immigrant's year of arrival or the first time that person appeared in public record. Age - This field indicates the immigrant's age in the source record. Note: You should note that the date and location that appear in the "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index" do not necessarily equate to the date and port of arrival. Occasionally, the locations referred to are destinations, locations of settlement, or the particular location of the immigrant on the date cited. Dates may reflect the date of death, the date the primary individual requested permission to emigrate, or the point in time when documents place that person in the New World at the location specified. Although the information listed is not always dates and locations of arrival, these references were retained by Gale Research (the original publisher of this material) because the editors felt that "when someone is searching for an elusive ancestor, all information is helpful." Large public libraries, state libraries, libraries with genealogical or history collections, and libraries of family associations and genealogical or historical societies are excellent places to look for the sources listed in the "Passenger and Immigration Lists Index." I took for granted that the names were spelled "Buisson" and "Laurent." I pulled together the entire list from the database of all persons with those last names. I made a table of those, and then sorted the table on ship name and date of arrival. I imagine that the table will be too large to send via the list. I'll try, but I will also send it to you directly. If anyone else wants to see it, I can also send it to them. I did not find any ships with both families, but maybe you can see some possibilities of things you might be interested in. I did not even have any clues to what years to look for. Good Luck. Let me know what else you might want.

Hi Listers, Need an angel with Ancestry access to do a lookup on the information in the Passenger Lists for the arrival of Eugenie Buisson in the US. Also, are there any other Buisson or Laurent individuals on the ship's passenger list? I believe my wife's Laurent ancestors (husband, wife, and two sons) arrived from France with their married sister, Eugenie, her husband and possibly a son. We believe they arrived either in New Orleans or New York. Many Thanks, Rikard Hill

I did find this helpful list. You were right, Norm, that St. Patrick's was a likely place to look. I'm trying to determine if this Thomas is one I am looking for.

Hello -- My great-great grandfather Jacob Born died in New Orleans on 1 Feb 1889. What is the best place / most efficient way to get his death certificate?

My grandfather's WW1 draft registration card (1917) states he served as a sailor for 4 years in Louisiana Naval Brigade. He was born 1891. Any ideas where I can locate a listing of those who served in the Naval Brigade? G. Wilson Texas

Norm, thanks for your help. I'll take a look....

You have to go through the cemeteries one by one, but that’s the best way –- in my opinion –- to find the burial place of someone in New Orleans. > > Norm > > --- On Wed, 11/10/10, Kathleen Deao <[email protected]> wrote: > . . . >> I had a Monaghan family, Irish immigrants, who arrived in >> N.O. in March >> 1849.
