Kathleen, the only one that I find that fits the information of Middlesex is John Salter husband age 32 and his occupation is a Smith. He was born in Sometshire Bridget Salter age 27 and no occupation. She was born in the City of Cork, Ireland. This census was as of the night of March 30, 1851. Their house address is #7 Grammill St. I hope this helps, if this is not the right one, let me know and I will look further. Pat Amarillo, Tx. In a message dated 10/15/2010 12:52:23 P.M.

Thanks, Pat; that is the one I was looking at. But, alas, it's not the right girl. I am looking for a Bridget Salter/Salzer [her maiden name] who was born about that time [1820-ish] who married John Gordon. SO close . . . .but it won't work. . . On the N.O. marriage certificate for my ggrandfather Patrick Gordon, born in Ireland, he lists his parents as John Gordon and Bridget Salzer. Bridget may have been born in Ireland, or England. I was looking for Salter because Salzer sounds more German than English or Irish . . . I thought it could be a misspelling on the document. But I can't find Bridget Salzer either [and Bridget doesn't sound German]. Any thoughts or ideas most welcome!

I don't remember if this has been mentioned, but the Notarial Archives Research Center on Poydras has a tour every Thursday in Oct. at 1pm. Address is 1340 Poydras, Suite 360; phone is 504-680-9604, website is www.notarialarchives.com for more info on the Research Center.

... don't think these are "strange" but rather research "guided by the ancestor" opportunities ... have had many incidents where looking for a person or an event date found related or more in depth information or just about ready to give up finding the information on the next page of the document. Weirdest to date, finding the obit of paternal g/gfather on microfilm at the library on the 105th anniversary of his burial. I think Georg was whispering 'just one more page' since I was ready to hang it up on that hot July Saturday when the library ac was off in the pre-Katrina days.

Two of the people I have researched met their demise with New Orleans street cars. Lila Martin Benjamin died 12 Oct 1911 from injuries caused by being hit by a street car on St. Charles Ave. and Calliope St. On her way to the theatre, she had crossed the double street car tracks on St. Charles Avenue at the corner of Calliope, in sight of her home, intending to board the street car which her granddaughter was trying to stop.

He got up and walked to the back platform of the street car. The car had not come to a complete stop when he lurched forward, falling to the ground where he struck his head, causing a fractured skull.

I'd like this: We found 2 family history records for Rosalie M Mueller in our newspaper archive! Of what a have, this is all I found on genealogy bank. I would really appreciate seeing these.

understand there is a newspaper index for obituaries in the library. I may have found some of my family in the New Orleans Death Epidemic records and am hoping there might be an obit for these people. The person I am looking for is listed in that record as NICHOLAS WOLLFR_M age 14 who had died of "fever" on 16 July 1853. Also there is a CATHERINE WALFRON who died 18 July 1853 also of "fever". These two died at Charity Hospital. Thanking you in advance. Patricia Freeman Amarillo, Texas
