Hi all- A few weeks ago there was a short discussion about death certificates in NJ that had the cause of death blanked out. I have found out that it is a state law that copies sent by mail can not have the cause of death but the originals with the cause of death intact can by copied in person. Don't know the reason though. Just thought the reason was interesting. Regina

Hello All, I use the Ultimate Family Tree Deluxe software. However, I found that World Family Tree by Family Tree Maker On-Line has several Filipkowski listings posted on their site. The catch is since I do not use this software I can pay $19.95 for a trial 9 day subscription or buy the package for $39.99. There are several lines of the Filipkpwski and would hate to explore this if I am not sure. Now that I have bored you with those details - my question is are any of you Genealogy buffs using this software and would you be willing to help me out in viewing these potential relatives. The page is http:\\www.familytreemaker.com/cgi-bin/iff I am especially interested in Jan Filipkowski and Walter Filipkowski, but ideally I would love to see'em all. Please let me know if anyone has access to this and would be willing to help. Otherwise, I may have to breakdown and sign up. ps. No other family name I am tracing shows up on their site - So I would only be signing up for these few.

Tom and Natalie, Filipiowski that you located on FTM site are on a couple FTM CDs, but, most are on Social Security Death Index. You can access this on www.ancestry.com. You put in last name and it comes up with matches to look through. SSDI is free. I have some Filipkowski I located on my CDs...will forward files if you can download and access GedCom files. Also check out www.gendex.com or www.genforum.com maybe have some info there. Diane

Hello, everyone. I am looking for someone who has access to a Camden city directory for 1910. I have been trying to locate my great grandparents Charles & Lillian Rittenhouse who were supposed to be living in Camden, NJ in 1910. I have been unable to locate them in the 1910 census so far but Camden County takes up 3 rolls of microfilm and there is no index. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Charlie Ottosen

Located at Brewster River Mill Antiques & Gifts, Mountain Road, Rte. 108s, Jeffersonville, VT 05464. 802-644-2829" Hope this info helps someone. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________ Fred Kunchick GSCS[SW] USN Retired Pennsauken NJ kunchick@bellatlantic.net Editor of The Northern KIMBALL On-Line Newsletter Member: NEHGS Camden County (NJ) Historical Society Lo/Lathrop Family Association Kimball Family Association Towne Family Association Home Page: URL: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ridge/7158/index.html Coos County, NH USGenWeb CC.

I have an old photo of my grandfather Samuel E. TURNER with a group of 4 men outside a bar probably in Camden or Gloucester NJ. On the window behind them is the number 107 below that is Guinness Theatre below that I can see Hotel & Tannhase?ss?eeh The window glass curves around and on the side it says The Bergnew & Engel Brq Tannh That is all I can see. My grandfather has a bartenders apron on and the men look like an ad for a Max Senet comedy. ANY IDEAS WHERE THIS BAR OR HOTEL WAS OR IS?? Thanks, Barbara

I've received 4 death certificates back from NJ. One had the cause of death listed. The other three were blanked out. There doesn't seem to be a reason that I can find. Deaths occuring in 1934,1963 and 1979 were blanked out and I know that the one in 1979 was to do a heart attack. The one that had a cause od death was from 1988. Doesn't make any sense to me. You can try the funeral homes. Sometimes they have a cause of death, one of mine did and the other didn't. I guess you could try the obits. Regina

To All - Thank you for so many responses. The information you gave was very helpful. In fact - thanks to the Camden County Historical Society being open today. I did find an article and finally have my answer. Natalie

Since you have the date of death, perhaps you could check the newspapers in that area for a story line, or the police dept might have a report.

My guess would be to check an archive for the local newspaper around the date of death. I would assume that if there were an accident or homicide, that would not have been kept out of the news. A suicide might be more difficult to determine. Obituaries, unless they are famous people, rarely reveal the cause of death if it were suicide. If the police were involved, you'd think there were public records somewhere. Very strange that a vital records center would take the initiative to censor a cause of death unless there was civil action to require it. By the way, how long did it take Trenton to send you the certificate? I have them searching for a marriage record with an unknown date of marriage and it seems like it's taking them a long time.

I received in the mail today a death certificate for the NJ Dept of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics. I had to send away because Camden said they did not have a certificate on the person I requested. Well. My ancestor died in Camden, Camden County in 1940. The cause of death is blanked out of the certified copy. However, I know there was a lot of family secrecy surrounding this death and is therefore important that I know the cause of death. On the death certificate there is a section that states: If death were due to external causes fill in the following: Accident, suicide or homicide (specify) of course this is blanked out! It gives the location of the death to be a public place on a lot on the south east corner of 4th & Atlantic Avenue. Any suggestions on how to find out what happened that day??? Please my curiosity is driving me nuts. Thanks! I hope to hear many suggestions from you all.

The answer to your question is no, it has not been put on the net.

I am looking for the REIMER family from New Jersery, not much information is available, any help would be appreciated. Thanks Keith Reimer reimerk@sj.bigger.net

Gene: If you are referring to William Stryker's two volume compilation of those men who served in New Jersey Regiments, I am not aware of either being on the net or even available on CD-ROM. I can tell you, however, that the Camden County Historical Society has it on the shelf. You are most welcome to come and use it. Regards, Paul W.

I am posting this with the hope that someone can give me some help with this family. This information was obtained from census data. Some of the information is in conflect with the obituaries. The two census sheets do agree. Susan Marie MCLAUGHLIN was my gr. grandmother. Census data is: 1885 Dakota Territorial Census for Fargo, Cass Co. MCLAUGHLIN, George, age 43, widowed, merchant, born Ireland, parents both born in Ireland Susan, age 20, single daughter, born Penn, father born Ireland, mother Scotland William, age 18, single son, born Penn Mary, age 17, single daughter, born Penn Annie, age 15, single daughter, born New Jersey Magie, age 13, single daughter, born New Jersey 1900 North Dakota Census for Jamestown, Stutzman Co. MCCABE, Susie born 7 Apr 1866, age 34, married 15 years, father born Ireland, mother England Susan's obituary says that her brother William was in Camden, NJ., and one sister, Mrs. Ed MCCORMICK was in Los Angeles. It also states that the MCLAUGHLIN family moved to Fargo, ND in 1882. Can anyone shed any light on Susan's parents or siblings?

Hello, Does anyone know if there were any age restrictions for persons emigrating from Europe (Germany or Poland) from 1900-1915 to the United States?
