Nancy, I found the place of origin (specific villages in Bavaria) of both parents of an infant baptized at St. Mary's in Newark in 1856. That information was not on the records of all the children I was searching. I used the FHC films of the parish records of St. Mary's for births, marriages and deaths and found them all very useful.

Does anyone know the origin of Tuers Park in Montclair?

Has anyone found the place of origin of an immigrant ancestor in the Catholic Church records of the Diocese of Newark? Thanks Nancy

It depends on who was recording the information. Irish priests tended not to record as much information because that was what was done in Ireland. Polish (or German) priests tended to record more information because that was what was done in the old country. Different habits, brought from different places... Geralyn Wood Barry in Oregon

Hi, Amos and Hannah Adkins/Atkins lived in Springfield and had three children: John, Mercy, and Mary. The children were born between 1780 and 1785. John, I believe married Abigail Price in Morris County, Mercy married Abraham Clark in Sussex County, and Mary married David Young in Newark. All married between 1802 and 1810. I have never found anything on David and Mary Atkins Young and their family. I am guessing they stayed in Newark but am not sure. Any help would be appreciated on these two families. Thanks in advance. Jo Ann Clark Midland, Texas

Dear Gordon, I had passed your request on to a friend, Nancy Pascal, who I knew had Mandeville relatives in NJ. She is not a member of this list, but asked me to send you this response. The nomenclature of the time usually gave a son a given name (James) and then his second name usually referred to his father, i.e., James the son of Henry Mandeville. This is not proof but does re-enforce the conclusion that James Henry Mandeville was your guy. Ken & Nancy Pascal [email protected] She has a great web page on Sussex County http://www.gate.net/~pascalfl/. You might want to check it out. I believe I saw the Pompton Lakes man you referred to on there. Hope it helps. Regards, Linda

I am trying to trace a James Henry Mandeville to New Jersey. He died in Ontario (Canada) at the age of 80 in 1876 which places his birth about 1796 in New Jersey according to Ontario death records. His daughter's death record says he was born in Newark. I have found a James Mandeville born in Pompton Plains on Dec 28, 1796 to Henry Mandeville and Fytje Gillalin. Henry is the son of David and Mary (Courter) Mandeville. Therefore, James is the grandson of David and Mary. The question is now whether the two James are the same person. Did the Henry of Pompton Plains move to Ontario with his father or did he stay behind? Is there a different James in Newark born about the same time. Any help would be appreciated. Gordon Hillman

Morning Joan, Thanks for passing this on, how I wish I could go, but it's impossible for me. Any chance anyone going could get an extra set of materials for me? My Father died in Chatham in 1993, I did meet his mother but just now learned his father was alive at the time and I'm feeling a huge void in my heart here. I'll send the $5 plus postage, you can have the extra continental breakfast. Any kindness appreciated, Sheila in CA --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

When I received my grandfather's cert., his cause of death was blocked off. I explain to them that I was doing genealogy and needed to know the cause of death. I also explained to them that I was comparing all the DAY men's death causes. Because as I was doing my research, I notice that none of the DAY men lived passed 59 years of age and I was comparing deaths to see if there was a history of the same cause....strokes. I was able to tell my father, the longest living Day man, what to watch out for in order to live longer. And with this day and age technology, he is able to live longer. So technically you need to be direct descent or a health matter problem to resolve. They were nice enough to send me a new copy without the cause blocked.

Patty, There is a privacy act in N.J..Unless you can prove ancestry they cover the cause of death.( Trying to protect people dieing of aids etc.but not helping our medical family history.) Mildred

4/5 Woo! such terrific, caring people out there. I've taken all information and will pursue the avenues given me. I did have one response, specifically about the timing of "not including cause of death" is ambiguous (sp). Just yesterday, my husband took out his former wifes' death certificate, whereby it does state "cause of death". She died back in 91. My mother died back in 3/85. Again, I will pursue the search. Thank you all. patty

Patty - Several years ago NJ changed the regulations for death records. The change made the cause of death confidential and the information can be released only to the next of kin. If you need the cause of death for your mother - I think that you can send the certificate back, along with proof of your relationship and a letter indicating that you need that information. You might want to call them first, to confirm exactly what you need to send them. Unfortunately, the rule is applied retroactively to any death record from 1878 forward obtained from the NJ Dept of Health and that includes all the local vital records offices in the state. You can get search death records through 1940 at the NJ State Archives in Trenton, however. Their microfilm does include cause of death and you can copy these certificates yourself. Check their website for more information: http://www.state.nj.us/state/darm/links/archives.html I hope that helps. Joan Joan M.

4/4 Good afternoon everyone: Can someone pls. clear up something for me? On my mothers death certificate, I note that there a piece of paper covered the cause of death? Why? Any response is appreciated. patty [email protected]

Nancy, I have the 1920 edition of the 'Manual of the Board of Commissioners of the City of Newark, NJ'. There is a section with that lists the postal workers for that year.

Where would an Irish catholic family living at 59 S. Herman or 59 Sherman Street in Newark in 1915 had their baby baptized? Thanks Nancy

Some time ago I inquired about help & tips on locating my g-grandfather, James Coyne, originally from Roscommon County, IR, and lived in E Orange in Essex. He disappeared after August 1888. I just wanted everyone in similar searches to know that I was in communication from an officer of the Essex Police Dept; I found him on the below pasted website, and he told me that they have no records from the 1880s. All records except homicides are destroyed after 7 to 8 yrs. I think this is terrible, esp with unsolved missing people like James. I may never find out what happened to James, but the website is interesting so I thought I'd pass it on Patti http://www.eopd.com/archives.htm
