Folks: wouldn't it be great to find someone who goes to Camden City Library frequently and who would be willing to do some lookups from 1890's and early 1900's? I would be willing to send such person a self-addressed stamped envelope in which to mail me the info and pay for photocopies and a small fee for the lookups. Anyone interested? I am trying to followup two families to see how long they stayed in Camden: BOND and STANTON. They married into my HUGHES family. Their wives died young; trying to find out if they had children and what happened to them. Anyone willing to do lookups? MaisieAnn@aol.com Hudson, OH Researching HUGHES from Mt. Holly and Camden.

Does anyone have access to an 1890 (give or take a few years) Camden City Directory? After checking with the LDS, there is a gap of time of filmed directories that includes, of course, the time period that I am researching in Camden. The surnames that I am researching are STAPLEFORD, KOFFENBERGER, and ALBAUGH. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sharon

Hi, I am seeking information about Harvenston Myers (my gggf) and his family. He was the father of Harry H. Myers (1/29/1858-1/30/1896) who spent most of his life in and around Camden and Gloucester Counties, New Jersey. Harvenston had two other children by a first marriage, Elizabeth (Lizzy) and another Harry. I'd appreciate any information or insight about the family -- him, either of his wives, or his parents. Thanks. b __|__ _|_ o/* *\o ________(__@__)_________ Bill Capie Bowman GA

Hi, my name is Michael L. Conley. I have been researching my grandfather's paternal line for 3 years now. My grandfather,Samuel Garrison Conley II, was born in 1892 to Catherine Giffin Conley and Samuel Garrison Conley I. My great grandfather worked for Lucas Paints for most of his life until he died in 1892. My great grandfather was born in Pleasantville NJ in 1842 to Owen Conley and Phoebe Conley. I have come across a alternate spelling of our last name in a old bible record of Owen's, it was Connelly. If any one has any attachment to my line in any way please write me. My great grandfather was married prievously to a Mary Huffman- I can't really prove this, it's a family story. His first wife died and he then married my great grandmother who was their nanny. If you have any old records from Gibbsboro I'd be intrested in seeing these, that is where they lived too. Thanks Michael

I am interested in all Probasco info, research and family trees. I have begun an extensive Probasco database and plan to use it to direct Probasco researchers to others who may be researching their line. Also, I may have info on your line. Would be glad to share what I have. Since my last name is Probasco, I get a lot of queries from others on the Internet researching Probasco. Thanks in advance, Nora Probasco nprobasco@earthlink.net

Looking for lost sister of Helen Balog Kozar 1901-1973 of Vintondale, Pa. one sisters name Bertha Clem, other sisters name unknown. Bertha Clem last known to live in Manville, NJ. in 1973. Thank you Helen K. Wetzel

Seeking information on the name and location of boys' reformatories in the state of NJ during the period 1873-1883. My greatgrandparents left Maine to become the warden and matron of such an instution, and my grandfather appears to have been born in the reformatory in 1876. (This made him the object of a lot of good-natured kidding within the family.) Was there such an institution in Camden Co. at this time? Because I do not subscribe to this list, I ask that you respond directly to the address below, instead of (or in addition to) the group. Thanks very much, in advance, for your help. Paul B. Phelps, Alexandria VA <pbphelps@cpcug.org>

Friends: just learned that my gr. grandfather belonged to Post 37, G.A.R. Are those records available anywhere? Also, his obituary said he belonged to Nonpareil Lodge, No. 220 IOOF...as well as Fidelity Lodge, No. 3. A.O.U.W. and Veteran Legion, No. 87. This would have been between 1880-1910. Does anyone know about these records...are they available? Helpful? RESEARCHING: ALLEN, BULLOCK, BALLINGER, COMBS, FORD, KILLE, LOCK, HUGHES, QUIGLEY, SMITH E-mail me at MaisieAnn@aol.com Mayann Ross, Hudson, OH

Francis Patrick Meyer Born: abt 1910 in Pa/Ny/NJ ? Lived in Camden for some time in the 1940's. Had a son Francis Patrick Jr. in 1945 at the Cooper Hospital in Camden , NJ. He lived at 787 Line St, Camden. It was listed on Francis Jr. Birth Cert. that Francis Sr. worked as a Pipefitter for Sun Oil Co. He married Ella Pastel Fow. He had his second child in Dade County Florida 1946. I have a feeling he may have had family in Dade County. Please, anyone with any information on him would be greatly appriciated. It is a rumor that he had more children. Thank You, Cyndi jtgroup@mr.net

Friends: I had been longing for a Camden City map. Someone on the list mentioned that Philadelphia maps might include Camden. When I was out today in my smallish town, I noticed the AAA (American Automobile Assoc.) office and decided to stop in and ask for a Philadelphia map (one must be a member of AAA)...I was given a HUGE map that has Philly and Camden...and all of the streets I wanted to locate. Didn't have to wait for mail, or send money, or go to big bookstore! Lesson: remember local resources! MaisieAnn@aol.com Hudson, OH

Does anyone visit Harleigh Cemetery regularly? I am looking for someone to take a photograph of a plot for me. MaisieAnn@aol.com Hudson, OH

A good place for Philadelphia area street maps is Patton Maps. http://www.pattonmaps.com/ The don't sell a street map of Camden City, but they do have a Camden County street map which also covers the city. >Does anyone know where I could get a CITY map of Camden?
