I am looking for information on Herman Hupfeld, a famous songwrite. His mother was Fredericka Hupfeld and they lived in Essex County. He lived from 1894-1951. I have not been able to find out who his father was. Does anyone know where I can find this info? Sharon

Hello List, I am hoping that someone might be able to help me this evening. I think that my Corbys came from Essex County, NJ. If anyone has any information on them, please let me know. My Great Grandma was Mary Etta Howland Beers, and she was born 10/03/1869. Her Father was William Phineas Howland and her Mom was Sarah Corby, who was born about 1846. I do know that Sarah Corby married William P. Howland in Great Bend, Pa. I found correspondence in the Susquehanna Pa Historical Museum today (Great Bend, being in Susquehanna, Pa) that a man by the name of Nichols had been doing some research on the Corbys for a publication "The Record of the Journal of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society" in the year 2000, and he mentions that there were Corbys in Essex, County, that is why I am posting this. So, any help you can give to me would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, and have a great night. Beth Beers Rupert

Okay, good question.... Bart.... I am doing research on my husband's family... Schilling... I believe if I can read the census correctly that my husband's grandfather had a brother George... he was born in Germany in 1881 arrived in the US in 1883 and was naturalized in 1888... obviously when the father became a citizen... These folks live on Milton Street (1920) in Nutley, NJ and as far as I can tell the family (children only, mom and dad must have died somewhere between 1900 and 1920, I think dad is listed in the 1910) lived at this same address for quite sometime...

My German gr-gr-grandfather, Christian VOELPEL, filed his naturalization papers in Essex county between the years 1851 and 1854. From that I assume he lived there for a good while and may have married there. By 1856 he had made his way to Chicago, where my gr-grandfather was born. My question is how do I go about finding whether he married in New Jersey. I have spent several hours today on Gale's free trial version of Ancestry Plus and the portion of Vitalrec.com on New Jersey, but have not been able to determine if there are any on-line BMD databases. Not only do I now know his wife's name, but I have only a vague idea of when he may have married: sometime between 1848 and 1856 perhaps. Also, is it important that he filed in Essex County in any way? Does his filing there necessarily mean that he established residence there, or could he have lived in nearby New York City?

The local police brought an early broken gravestone to our historical society museum in Essex County. It was found in some bushes in a residential area, nowhere near a cemetery. Although we don't think we can -- or should -- put this badly damaged stone back, assuming we can find the grave, we might like to have an exact duplicate made and put it on the grave. The bigger problem is that we have no idea where the person is buried. I am hoping some of the list members can help. The inscription on the stone says (on the top half): Ann Eliza wife of Jacob T. Plume Died July 28, 1853 Aged 31 years, 10 mo. A quick Internet search revealed that Ann Eliza's maiden name was Beach and that she was apparently born in or near Hanover NJ. In 1850 she and Jacob were living with two small children in the North Ward in Newark. After Ann died, Jacob married one of her sisters. As far as I know, no family by either of those names lived in our community pf Millburn, so we have no idea why her gravestone wound up in the backyard of a home in a 1950's-era section of town. Do any of you know where Ann was buried? Lynne

I'm looking for William BATCHELOR. According to the 1850 federal Census for Newark, Essex County, New Jersey he was 20 years old and born in Maryland. He was a blacksmith. He lived in the household of Leonard WARD. In the 1870 and 1880 censuses I find him with his wife Mary C. aka Carra and a son named William, born abt 1859 in West Virginia. William junior, however, isn't listed with his parents in 1880. Any information is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Fellow Researchers: Many people have expressed interest in the upcoming lecture series "Exploring Your Jersey Roots II," being sponsored this Fall by the Genealogical Society of New Jersey and the New Jersey State Archives. (Info on our websites: www.gsnj.org and www.njarchives.org) Some have indicated that they would not be able to attend the series but would be interested in purchasing a copy of the syllabus. So, for those who are interested - The syllabus for the GSNJ / NJSA "Exploring Your Jersey Roots II" lecture series will be made available for purchase at the end of the lecture series in November. The price won't be set until nearly the end of the series, once we determine how large the full syllabus will be. (Last year's syllabus (which sold out quickly) was about 100 pages and priced at $18, plus $2 postage.) We will put the purchase information on the GSNJ website as soon as it is available. It also may be posted on the NJ State Archives website. I think that the intent will be to make it available in hard copy (paper) and on CD-Rom, so you will be able to purchase it in either format. www.gsnj.org http://www.njarchives.org I will keep a list of email addresses for anyone interested in purchasing a copy and when the price is set - I'll email everyone. If you are interested, please email me off-list at mailto:[email protected] Thank you for your interest! Regards, Joan Joan M. Lowry, President Genealogical Society of New Jersey mailto:[email protected] website: www.gsnj.org

I am looking for any information on the following family's who lived in Essex county between 1865-1922 Schneider, Randolph, Ruble, Winston, Hamilton Trisha Fitz Randolph

Listers, I am reposting this: I'm looking for the descendants of Joseph (F. or T.) HART found in 1930 at Essex Co. 11th Ward Newark City, North 12? St., ED185, sheet 3A, line42-45. Joseph T(?)26y and Margaret M.29y, married at 25y and 28y respectively. There are 2 others in the household, brother-in-law, looks like: James H McSanghlin and sister-in-law Elizabeth H. same surname. (I thought it was McLaughlin, but it really does look like an San.) Joseph is PA,NY,PA. Margaret and her siblings(yes?) are PA,PA,PA. All are employed as clerks in various businesses. If you are also interested in this little group or family names, please respond. Thanks, Louise

Listers, I am reposting this inquiry: I'm looking for descendants of GERALDINE HART and her sister MARY I/C/L(??). Geraldine was born to JOHN W. and MARGUERITE HART in Pittsburgh,PA approx May 1919. The family group is found there on the 1920 census. The 1930 census finds the little family group, plus the new baby Mary (middle init blurred, b. approx 1927) and John's mother Mary in North 15th St, EAST ORANGE, ESSEX CO, NEW JERSEY (ED422, sheet 7A). We found some interesting hits in the SSDI, one of which is a Geraldine Powell, b. May 1919, last residence is East Orange. Do these HART's fit into anyones family file? Anyone acquainted with this family? Please respond. Thanks, Louise

Please pass this on if you know of anyone who may have any ideas. Can you tell us if there is access to an 1875 or 1870 census for Landis, Cumberland, New Jersey this is where our great grandfather was living in 1880. Also he had a daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren living in Fairfield, Cumberland, New Jersey in 1880 census. We are attempting to learn if there were other children in the families. The grandchildren were born in NJ in 1878 and 1880. We are looking for: Joshua William Penn and wife Mary - both born England - on 1880 NJ census. Joshua is on 1881 census Ontario Canada married. 1882 he married as a widower in Ontario Canada to our great grandmother, his third wife by whom he had four children. Sarah (Penn) Nicolls w/o of William and mother of William P (b1878 NJ) and Marvin S Nicolls (b1880 NJ). Sarah, daughter of Joshua and Mary was born in Canada c1857. Her husband was born in New Jersey. Any suggestions on where we can find more information on them would be greatly appreciated. We have no indication when they traveled through Canada other than Sarah's birth in 1857. No indication of where in Canada she was born. No primary proof that Mary died in NJ between 1881 and 1882. Joshua is not buried in Canada and at this time we are assuming his body must have been shipped back to NJ for burial with Mary. We are hoping you can point us in some kind of direction. We are hitting brick walls. Thank you for reading this and for any suggestions you can give us. Alfreida [email protected]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me track down the death date and burial place of a relative, Christopher Burgard (born about 1872 in Pike County, PA), who died sometime after 1930. He lived in Irvington, Essex County, and married Grace Byrnes around 1903. I will be passing through NJ, a week from Monday, on a trip from Maine to Indiana and it is my hope that by then I will know his burial location and while be able to visit his gravesite. If I can pinpoint the date of death, I can obtain an obituary, and find the burial location. I've been telephoning a number of Newark/Irvington area cemeteries, but no luck so far. Would anyone have any other suggestions as to how I might identify a date of death? He does not appear in the SSDI and there are no post-1930 records for him that I can find online in any databases. I was thinking of checking city directories or phone books ca. 1930-1960 to see if he disappears after a given year, but I wouldn't know if records exist for Irvington for these years, or where to look. I would be willing to pay for a researcher who would search death records 1930-1960 at the Essex County Clerk's office (920 Broad St, Room 111, Newark) or even at the NJ archives in Trenton, although the archives only has death records up to 1940. (Please contact me off-list for any offers or recommendations of paid services). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (I will not have access to the internet again until Monday, so please excuse any delays in responding to messages). Best, Joe Price __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
