I was just going thru some old "Genealogical Helper" magazines, and came across an article I had circled in Nov/Dec 1983 issue: "James Curley, 528 High Street, Newark, NJ 07102 has copies of gravestone inscriptions from four Belleville (Essex County) NJ cemeteries (St Peter's RC, Dutch Reformed; Wesley Methodist; and Christ Episcopal). He is willing to check them for anyone who sends a self-adressed, stamped envelope. he also has a history of St Peter's Roman Catholic Church and several histories of Newark and Essex County." Perhaps someone could check the new Newark phone book and see if Mr. Curley still lives there. Or a new address if he is still in the phone book.
I just found out about some more relatives buried in Pleasantdale Cemetery in West Orange. Is this cemetery still being used? I can't seem to find any contact for it. Any information anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. -- Judy Lamken Kilkee Kerries Chicagoland mailto:[email protected]
I have just started researching the paternal side of my son's family. If anyone can help, would greatly appreciate it. This is all I know, which the 1930 census provided. I can't find this family in 1920 because in 1930 Mary Cook is a a widow. I have looked at male Cooks in 1920 census in Newark, without any success. Newark, Essex Co., N.J. ED#99 Head of household, widow aged 54 b. N.J. Children: William b. abt. 1897 his wife Anna ? b. abt. 1905. Their children: May "May" A. Cook b. 1923, William b. 1925, John, b. 1928 & Walter b. 1930 Joseph b. 1906, Walter b. 1911, Sadie b. 1915 & Henry b. 1918. Thank you for any help in advance. Regards, Joan Steele
OPEN INVITATION TO OUR SAFE DAY WOODLAND CEMETERY NEWARK, NJ FAMILY GRAVESITE VISITATION & TOMBSTONE RECORDING DAY Saturday, June 5, 2004 9:30 a.m. (rain date Sunday, June 6) For old friends who help each year, it's that time again. For new people who have never had the opportunity, this is your chance to go to Woodland Cemetery in Newark, NJ to visit your family gravesites in the security of a group. For those out of state, our volunteers will help with pictures and tombstone inscriptions of your family gravesite. Each year the Newark Police Dept. has provided us with on-site protection, although with a large group we find we are pretty safe. Woodland Cemetery in Newark has over 82,000 burials from 1856 through present. We are not affiliated with Woodland Cemetery in any way, but work only as a volunteer group trying to preserve the tombstone inscriptions and helping family researchers find their ancestors through our computer database. For those who are able to attend, we ask that you allow some time to help record tombstone inscriptions. Please invite your friends (adults only please) its actually an enjoyable day outdoors! We'll pair you up with someone, so please come even if you are by yourself. Anyone who will be searching for family gravesites and needs help in locating them, please e-mail us to let us know what gravesite you will want to visit. This way we can check for your family names in the computer database and prepare a map ahead of time in order to guide you. Anyone who cannot attend, but would like inscriptions and pictures of their family tombstones, please make arrangements with John or me ahead of time and we will do our best to record inscriptions and take pictures of your site, time permitting. To everyone - please let me know if you will be attending so we will have an approximate count. The day is Saturday, June 5, at 9:30 a.m. at the front gate (on South 10th St.), with a rain date of Sunday, June 6th, again at 9:30 a.m. If both days are raining, a new date will be set at a later time. If there is a question on the weather, anyone may call in the morning between 8:00-8:30 at 973-667-0450 to find out if we're still "on". The gate entrance for Woodland Cemetery is located at 670 South 10th Street between Springfield and Avon Avenues, Newark, NJ. Directions - take the Garden State Parkway to the Springfield Ave. Irvington Exit #143. Take Springfield Ave East to South 10th Street - Make a right onto South 10th St. The cemetery is located about a quarter mile down on the left side. As a reminder, here are a few suggestions if you are planning on joining us to record tombstone inscriptions: Wear long pants, a short-sleeved shirt, with a long sleeved shirt/sweatshirt over it (in case it gets warm). Wear socks and either sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes of some sort. If you will be spending a few hours with us, bring some cold bottled water or soda - you will get thirsty. Please bring: * pencils/pens - we'll supply the paper * clip board (if you have one, If not, we will have a few available) * cheap camera (it helps to look through a camera lens to decipher a tombstone inscription) * sunglasses (sometimes easier to see the inscription) * small garden tool(s) to pull back weeds from tombstone; * wide sidewalk chalk, (to rub difficult inscriptions ... again, I'll bring some) * a plastic bucket to put all your "stuff" in - the tools, camera, chalk, camera, etc. - it makes it easier for you to carry everything from tombstone to tombstone. * a towel or kneeling cushion, some tombstones only show a couple of inches above ground... Any questions, e-mail or call either of us: John Sass Mary Lish [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Bloomfield, NJ Nutley, NJ 973-748-0985 973-667-0450 Mary Lish [email protected]

Sorry, having problems with some roots web lists. Please ignore. Nina
To All: Apologize for another non-gen mail. I tried to skip re-sending to those who are also on Lists with this one. Sorry, duplication happened as I was hurrying to make sure everyone knew not to opened that, better safe than sorry. I didn't open the attachment, so was told not to sweat the small stuff, thanks Dru, but I'd changed the "from" on the relliehunt account almost a month ago to just Sheila, and have not been active on gen lists since, so to see a message saying from Tim again alarmed me. It was not comforting to hear it happens to other Listers, perhaps Pat can shed some light here. It may happen, but too much has happened this month and it tore me up all night, this kind of thing makes you want to hang it up for good. I found a farmec Ireland but different e-mail address. Hope someone will tell me how else I should be reporting this, I already wrote Yahoo Customer Service. With the title, found original message in the June Roscommon archives. Sorry List, I know this is a drag, but yahoo only lets me send 100 messages at a time and it took hours, so this quickest way to get to most every one. A friend said to forget about being a bother again and I should repost to let you all know it has not gone to my other boxes, which means it did not go through our address book, as they are in this book, so there is no danger if you didn't get/open the attachment. Would be more pleasant to hear of your travels to Ireland, I know a few of you went. Truly hope you all are well and making good progress in your research. Again apologize for the inconvenience, and duplicate mailings, just hoping you all stay safe, Sheila ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2003 18:47:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Tim <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Subject: [Roscom'n] Faire time Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Just checkin if any of our friends are going to the Monterey or Sonora, CA Celtic Faires this year?

Dear Groups and Cyberfriends: An e-mail was received in our box when I got home. If you received this, with the subject Faire Time, please delete this e-mail as I did not send this. DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENT in this e-mail. This is a horrible thing none of us ever want to see or go throught, I just only hope that no one has opened it. As most of you know I always mention in e-mails that I will be ending an attachment. The original subject title and body was from an old message sent from our box, probably at Faire time last year, so this is a year old and the person or whoever re-sent it under our name had no permission. This one was not from our box and had a pif attached, so if you receive it, delete it immediately. I have not had any bugs and as good practice do not open attachments unless the person has told me they are sending one, and again, please do not open any attachments unless I state in the body that I am sending one. I do not know how to discover the source, the tag says @farmec.com, so if anyone knows how please tell me the best way to handle this please let me know and report it. I am extremely upset over this and trying to get to everyone on our list. The fastest way is sending this to Groups we belong to, so please excuse any duplicate warnings. Here is the to: and message I received.

Dear Folks, Does anyone have access to the 1905 NJ State census for Essex , town of Nutley, ward 3 looking for Rosalia Luzzi 15 yrs. or Lutso luzzo
For a 1950 estate file for a Passaic resident - write to Passaic County Surrogate's Court Room 101 77 Hamilton St Paterson NJ 07505 tel: 973-881-4760 I believe that there is a state-mandated search fee for the Surrogate's Court. Copies from the file will be $3.00 per page for plain copies. If you send a check with a limit - something like "not valid for more than $25" you should be able to pay both the search fee and the copy cost at the same time and you will get the documents more quickly. If there is a will (or an administration) you want to make sure you also get a copy of the application for probate (or administration). That will list all the immediate next of kin and give their addresses. In most Passaic County estate files, it will probably give the person's marital status and should also give the ages of the decedent, the spouse, and any children (even if over 21). Hope that helps.

The inquiry went thus: <I'm confused with militia lists of 1793,and tax lists of 1793,and public information surely in the state archives belonging to the more recent Park System.> For clarification I would like to offer provenance information. In 1962 the Monmouth County Park System acquired land from the last remaining Longstreet descendent (Mary Duncan) living on the Holmdel farmstead within that township. She and her husband (d. 1973) had life rights to the farmhouse and barnyard as Holmdel Park was established. In 1977, Mary Duncan died. The house was turned over to the Park System and contents auctioned by the family. The Park System acquired as many of the primary documents within the farmhouse as they could and also some few family pieces. Hence, the 1793 Middletown Tax duplicate was in private hands until it came into the possession of the Parks. Since we had no archive at the time, the Monmouth County Historical Assoc. was kind enough to house it with some other documents. The Historic Services Archive of the Monmouth County Park System was established in 1986, however, the documents were not returned to our archive until December 2003 after I straightened out some confusion concerning our having an archive to store them. So if you know a state or local park & recreation department with an historic site, look a little closer as they may have some materials not readily available. FYI.. Our archive is open to researchers BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.. The Historic Services Archive of the Monmouth County Park System consists of approximately 50 linear feet of material related to our two historic sites, those parks which were former estates, and general materials such as Trenton newspapers. the Historic Services office is located on Longbridge Road off of Route 520 in Holmdel, NJ. Please email or call and I will be pleased to assist you. Below is a sampling of our holdings. Cheryl Stoeber-Goff, Curator (SEE BELOW FOR CONTACT INFO) 19th and 20th century primary documents; correspondence, photographs, bibles from the Longstreet Farm site pertaining to Longstreet, Holmes, Taylor and Duncan families, land and relations. 18th, 19th, 20th century primary documents; correspondence, account books, photographs from the Walnford Gristmill site pertaining to the Waln and Meirs family, land and relations. Some secondary material related to this subject. Newspapers/Periodicals General - 19th century primary documents; ladies magazines, agricultural magazines, farm machinery manuals and new jersey newspapers i.e. the 'Trenton Emporium.

Sheri Check out this website for Rutger's Alexander Library Special Collections. It has links to info on the genealogical and manuscript holdings. http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/libs/scua/scua.shtml Also check out the website for GSNJ at www.gsnj.org for some information on our collections, which are housed in Special Collections. The Rutgers link will also give you info on library hours and directions. I think you can also find maps for parking. Street parking is metered and limited to two hours, I think. But, I think there is a parking garage nearby that you can pay to park in for as long as you want. Hopefully others will be able to give you info on hotels. I know there is a new big chain hotel right in downtown New Brunswick - almost in walking distance - but probably not quite.

Jan, When I looked at this map before I received your email I didn't realize there were street names. When I tried the URL you sent I found them.
