I will not list the person, folks, but one of my lines appears to show the same person twice! Two ***different*** social security numbers. Two different states. --> The same birth and death dates and the same name - a rare one <-- The one SSN was Proven (P) with a death certificate. The second on was Verified (V) with a family member or one acting in their behalf verifying the person! This sounds crooked, and like the person (from Camden and from California) collected twice, or their descendant(s) did. Has anyone else ever heard of this or had it happen in their family lines?

Thanks for all of you who have jumped in and helped me. In so doing, you have also helped some other cousins of mine. To explain: I posted, requesting 1920 Census for NJ for Charles POTTS. No one found him there. Why? They found him in Luzerne! This was actually a big surprise to me. I post the data below. I also post the information that he was boarding with KELLYs who may connect to my KELLYs (or they may not) and that a probable FINNEGAN of mine is next door, and it was a smashing success. Sorry for the formatting, but I had to do it this way to keep the confusion down... I am posting to both Camden and Luzerne. The info is for Luzerne, and the Thank You is for Camden!

Hi. I'm fairly new to this ListServ. I started tracing my family tree a few years ago and did some posting here, but I ran into so many dead ends that I finally gave up. I'm now willing to try again (or maybe it's that I'm too stubborn to give up!) I was wondering if there are people that do census lookups for Camden. I'm in Minnesota and it's difficult to search long distance. I'm looking for any information on Alfred Long who lived on Charles Street in the early to mid 1900s. Also any information on Myrtle Wood who lived on Berkley Street in the 1920s until her death in the 1950s. Thanks in advance for any information anyone can help me with! Jodi

Hi, Folks... If anyone has access to the 1920 Census for Camden, would you be so kind as to lookup my Charles POTTS? While he may have died before 1920, I show him (in Luzerne County, PA) as: 1910 Census House Number 462 POTTS, Jesse Head M W 23 M1 Eng, Eng, Eng 1889 Na Labor CoalMines Anna Wife F W 24 M1 PA, PA, Eng Susan Sis F W 30 S Eng, Eng, Eng 1889 Emma Dau F W 0/12 S PA, Eng, PA Frank Neph M W 10 S PA, PA, PA ---> Charles Brot M W 32 M9 Eng, Eng, Eng 1889 Hannah Niec F W 8 S PA, Eng, PA Lucy Niec F W 4 S PA, Eng, PA The only thing that makes me think Charles had died (of course he could have notoriously left...) is that in 1920, the nieces of Jesse POTTS are found in my grandfather's household - John SOMMERS. Thanks, Vince Summers

Looking for information on ALVIN H. KILLE, b, 1896 in Camden, died Oct. 1957, buried in Cedar Green Cem., Gloucester Co., and on his wife EFFA WINNER KILLE, died FEb. 1987. Effa was in Clayton, NJ, on 1920 census....Last SS address for Effa was in Moorestown. Trying to find out where they lived to obtain d.c.....Trenton has no d. c. for Alvin [email protected]

Does anyone know the ED for the village of Belmawr for the 1910 federal census? I have a subscription to ancestry and I've been trying to figure it out using a map of the area, but I haven't had any luck yet. I'm trying to find an ancestor, John Campanello, on this census. He lived on Browning Road, Belmawr during the 1920 census. Thanks for any help. Susan

I have an ancestor by the name of Samuel Coles Munyan b. July 1854, son of Samuel Harvey Munyan and Sarah Kay Smallwood Brian. Can anyone make a connection with the Coles we've been discussing?

My source for Kendall who married Ann Budd is "Genealogy of the Stokes Family" published by Richard Haines, 1903. It gives the surname as "COLE." I searched the WorldConnect database and it appears evenly divided between COLE and COLES -- though few in that database give their source(s).

Charles Coles was a brother of my great great grandfather, Joseph Heulings Coles. I have several big portraits of Joseph and his wife, Sarah Aaronson Woolston. And of course I have more on them. No time tonight to get it together Anita

Hello everyone. New to the list and would like to ask if there is a listing of gravesites for Harleigh Cemetary in Camden. Have a couple of look up requests if anyone can help. Philip H. Gain died after 1920 (don't have an exact date). Nellie Farrow Leslie Farrow Many thanks for any help you can give. Mary Gain
