I found out the Police Gazette is not a magazine but a weekly police newsletter issued since 1755 Volumes 59-89, 1891-1906, is on microfilm in the Miami-Dade Co. Community College in FL. Some volumes and years were missing. I was hoping to find info about NJ policemen but it mostly had 1. case write-ups but didn't report the arresting officer 2. many, many, many full page pictures of showgirls 3. many, many, many articles on various shows/plays 4. lots of ads including one repeated for "The Magic Money-Maker". "By taking a common, ordinary piece of blank paper and inserting betwen the rollers and then turning the crank, you can produce bills of any denomination and no one, not even an expert, can detect difference from genuine." All in all it was a BIG disappointment. KLAFFKY was not listed in Reel 14, Vols. 59-62,1891-1893, nor Reel 17, Vols. 69-75, 9-18-1896 to 2-10-18900. The few police names I saw were John Thomas HINMAN, Coney Island, NY Jack KELFE, Chief, Jacksonville, FL ? STRAIT, Owega, NY Patrick DUGA, LA Chief John CAREY, NY Detective shot 11-19-1892 David D. LEES, Sheriff Chas HALL, IL Chief Michael O'BRIEN, Albion, NY Chief James Bobbie CONNORS, SD Officer John PORTER, Camden, NJ, Lt. of Police Geo. DAISEY, Gloucester, NJ Officer Chas.

Today is Halloween here... The weather has turned cold, even had some relief rain. So what has this got to do with Irish gen you say....Well, most of you know that "Samhain" (pronounced SEW- en) was our Celts ancestors ancient fire festival at the end of October, celebrating the last day of summer and beginning winter. Then in the 8th century, the Catholic Church adopted the holiday naming November 1 "All Saints Day". It was a holy day of obligation for any Saint that had no specific day of worship already. Hence "All Hallows Eve", which in time was shortened to "Halloween". Tradition has it that souls could travel through space and time on this night, so people disquised themselves in scary costumes, so as not to be inhabited. In Ireland, wealthy landlords used to distribute gifts of food to their poorer tenants at Halloween. So the tradition of Halloween was actually brought to America by our Irish forefathers fleeing the Potato Famine of 1840's. But did you know that the Jack O'Lantern also has Irish roots? Well, it seems Jack, an Irish blacksmith from the 18th century. The story goes that he was a drunk and a trickster and got the Devil to climb a tree then carved a cross at the bottom, trapping the devil. He then signed a pact with the Devil never to temp him again, but because of his evil ways Jack was denied entrance into Heaven's Pearly Gates, and the Devil wouldn't let him in the other place, so Jack was condemned to wander the Earth in darkness. So he carried with him a carved out turnip lit with a candle to light his way. When our Irish brought this tradition to the States, they found pumpkins much more available than turnips and the tradition of carving out Jack O'Lanterns' was born! Keep in touch with the living, I say, or they will take their secrets with them. I figure Halloween is a good time to check out graveyards.

Hello List: Re-subscribed after a long absence. My GGF was a resident of Orange from 1867 until he died in 1881. His death record is the only record I have found that identifies his parents by name. (But, the spelling is questionable.) His parents names are not required on his naturalization papers. He rented, and did not own, his residence. Through the 1870s he had a small merchant tailor shop on Main Street in Orange. His obituary says he was a member of the IOOF (Odd Fellows) Lafayette Lodge No. 12 in Orange, but no records have survived. No church or synagogue affiliation that we are aware of. Can anyone here suggest other Orange or New Jersey records for that period that just might confirm the name of his parents? Many thanks for any and all replies. Dave B.

Can anyone read last name on line 84? It looks like MULOPY to me but that doesn't seem right. Thank you.

HI Gold, Ancestry shows it as Mary Maloley. I sure don't see the second 'L'. It could be Mulvey. I was hoping she would be living with Charlotte still in 1930 but it looks like maybe Charlotte is living with a Carpenter family in District 299. melissa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gold" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2003 8:28 PM Subject: [NJESSEX] NEED HELP READING 1920 CENSUS > > Can anyone read last name on line 84? > It looks like MULOPY to me but that doesn't seem right. > Thank you. > Gold > > 1920 NEWARK, ESSEX CO., NJ CENSUS > ED 132, SD 8, Sheet 5B > 4th Part of ED 6

Fred and/or Judy, I have found John Burger w/ second wife Louise and all four of the girls are with them. Will email details separately.

My grandmother and her sisters were orphaned in 1896 when their mother died. Mary (Mamie) was the oldest, then Anna Theresa (Tessie), then my grandmother Elisa (Eliza or Elsie) born in 1894 and then the baby Marie born in 1895. Their father's name was John L. Burger and he remarried in 1897 to a Louise Kline. They lived in Newark. Rumor has it that some or all of the girls were either farmed out to relatives or put in an orphanage. I suspect that the 2 older girls were put in orphanages. Can SKS look at the 1900 census for me to see where these 4 girls were. They could have been with a family named Sachs or Sacks who were their mother's sisters and brothers. Thanks for any help.

NJ [Do stand for Ditto; Do is what was written in the census, as above] Here are some early Paterson City Directory listings for these FARRELLs: 1855-56 Farrell Matthias, shoemaker, 32 Congress Farrell Owen, millwright, 14 Mulberry [son of Matthias] Farrell William, blacksmith, 49 Mill [son of Matthias] also these other FARRELLs this year: Farrell Stephen, moulder, 39 Congress Farrell David, machinist, 65 Mechanic Farrell John, machinist, 31 Division 1861-62 Matthias Farrel, shoemaker, h 22 Broadway 1865-66 Matthias Farrell, shoemaker, h 245 Straight 1866 M. Farrell,shoemaker, h 42 N Main 1867 Matthias Farrell, bootmaker, h 42 N Main 1868-69 Math Farrell, shoemaker, h 20 Mechanic This family lived in Morris County, Newark and Paterson. Mary nee STRAIGHT, widow of Mathias, was born in Rockaway, Morris County, and lived to be over 100. I have articles from Paterson newspapers written on the occasions of her 103rd and 104th birthdays. Did I already send those to you, Judy? I have much additional information on this family, including other census listings. I trace all FARRELLs in Paterson, and have collected information on many FARRELL families from around northern NJ, especially those who were in NJ before 1880. I am particularly interested in connections between Paterson FARRELLs and FARRELLs in the Albany NY area (Albany and Greenbush) and in Minnesota (area south of St. Paul). Seems I might have 2 or 3 different FARRELL families lurking in my family tree...

Anyone looking for a William Sutton who married Mary E. Smith on 19 Jan 1851 or 1857? (I think it's 1851) I found the marriage certificate for this couple and it's a real certificate, not just the minister's marriage return. It was filmed with the Morris Co. marriage records. But it says the marriage took place in the City of Newark, County of Essex. Marriage performed by Rev. __ Crane. I made a photocopy and will mail a copy to anyone who claims it. Helen
