Hi Listers, My name is Carol and I am new to this list. I am trying to find information on Dorothy Weston born abt 1938 and her brother Ned (Edward?) Weston born abt 1940. At that time they were living in Essex Cty NJ. Please bear with me while I try to briefly tell the story. My mother Dorothy Gebicker married Ned Weston Sr when she was about 17. Sadly, he physically abused her (beat) on a daily basis due to his having a very controlling personality. I am being kind as to what my mother actually had to endure. Back in those days a womans back was against the wall. She finally told him she was leaving and taking the children and he told her if she left with the kids he would find the 3 of them and make her watch while he killed the children and then her! She endured many more beatings and finally left. She stayed a couple blocks away and was able to SEE the children from a distance for awhile. There was no further contact. In 1943 my father Charles Stefanik and my mother,Dorothy Gebicker (Weston) married. I have been told that my father Charles forbid my mother to have contact with her children from her previous marriage! I did not learn ANY of this until after the deaths of my parents, Charles and Dorothy. I was hurt and outraged! All I know is the senior Weston married an older woman that raised the children and that little Dorothy married, then divorced because she was being physically abused by her husband. I was told little Dorothy kept in touch with my half/aunt until her divorce and nothing since. It is assumed they were still in NJ. The senior Weston worked as a trash collector for the city, probably Newark. I cannot describe what is in my heart for these 2 children. I have made it my lifes goal from here on to locate them and share with them my mothers story and life, if they are open to it. Please if anyone can help me with this searc I would be so greatful.Thank you so much for letting me share this journey. Carol Davison

Hello Essex List: The 1900 census in Orange NJ identifies an occupation as "I T A Engineer." Does anyone on the list know what this "I T A" abbreviation meant or what industry it was associated with? Many thaaanks. Dave B.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A CITY DIRECTORY FOR 1936 OR 1937, FOR THE ADDRESS OF 304 CHESTNUT ST NEWARK N J. THE NAMES SHOULD BE VANISKI OR DEBELLE. THANK YOU, YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.. THANK YOU JOYCE DEBELLE SOLOMON [email protected]

List If there is any one with a City Directory for 1937 . Would you look to see who lived at 115 William Street Newark. Or maybe someone can tell me where to find it. Thank You Bruce Smith Eustis, Florida

Hi, Check out the online virtual cemetery at the Find-a-Grave site at: http://www.findagrave.com/. It's a great help in doing genealogy. Thanks, Sharlotte

If anyone or Coyne researchers run across or can come up with the surname Cloyne, I'd sure appreciate it. I just come up with the Bishop or town. It's for a guy who's been searching many years and at a complete standstill. I saw four in the whole of Ireland, in Longford, but can't find their parents or siblings to tell if they are belong to his from 1822.

Forgot to add, I found a woman on the index! Hurray for Bridget Brady, and then I found 3 others! Patti

Hi I am still doing searches, did get some positive results which have been emailed. My eyes get a little tired so it's possible I am overlooking some names, because I have found one I previously couldn't find on my 2nd & 3rd visits. So the ones I emailed with no results, I will look again next week (going to NC to get away from the Ohio snow) I have the index until April 7th. Some of you requested film no: Declarations of Intention Indexes: 1849-1906 A-F 1306258 F-Z 1306259 1851-1880 A-Z 1306266 item 3-5 1881-1893 A-Z 1306267 item 1-2 Declaration of Intention Volumes: Vol 1-4 1849-1877 1306260 V 5-8 (pp 1-151) 1877-1890 1306261 V 8 (p 150-end) 1890-1894 1306262 V 10 (p 498-end) 1894-1902 1306263 Hope this helps at least one person Patti

Patti, Would you mind checking for a Joannis ( John) Doerfler. thank you in advance. Pat Cannella

I have exhausted all various spellings of my grandmother’s maiden name on ellisisland.org… According to the 1930 Fed Census she claims she arrived in the US in 1906… Did everyone who came to the US through New York enter through Ellis Island? Anyone have any ideas where I could possibly look her up? I did send to SSA for her long form SSN application, but I am getting “ants in my pants.” SallyEllen R.

Hello Patti, Thank you for your kind offer. Would you please look up Christian RAU. The 1900 Census informs us he came to USA 1887 and naturalized by 1900.. Thank you.

3/15 Good evening: Seeking any information on a Frank Romano Jr. believe to be born in the year 1952-53 in Glen Ridge. His mothers name was Evelyn Mae McCabe or (McKay). If you think you're related, pls be good enough to contact me. Thank you, pat [email protected]

Hello Essex NJ Can anyone tell me if voter lists or registrations exist for Orange NJ for the 1860s and 1870s, and if so, would the birthplace of the voter be identified? My GGF was naturalized in Newark in 1868, renouncing the King of Austria. He had a small merchant tailor shop on Main Street in Orange. Any other records for that period that asked for a birthplace would be most helpful. His 1881 death record says "Germaney" but no town or village is given. Many thanks. Dave B.
