(did they exist then)? Trying to find photos of my fathers siblings. I would like to see when exactly they graduated and possibly obtain school records. Does anyone here know if school records are obtainable going back that far? The last name of the family is ZELEWITZ/ZELEVITCH/ZYLEWICZ. Family seems to have 3 different spellings, why I have no idea. The names are as follows: Helen Zelewicz (Baebi) Mildred Zelewicz (Collette) William Zelevitch Joseph Zelevitch If anyone has any of these names, please email. I no longer live in NJ and cannot go to the school personally. Thank you in advance :) Estelle --part1_6577b64.24f1619e_boundary--

Hi, Here is another article about the garbage dump over Potters Field in Newark, Rita http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560741529-aed

Hi, Here is further information I received from another list. I have no more information other than what I have sent. To all who were wondering about the draft cards I spoke of earlier....I had picked up a form at a LDS library last year requesting WW1 draft registration cards. The form I have explains these cards like this: Draft registrations were held as follows: June 5, 1917 All men between the ages of 21 and 31 yrs of age were required to register. June 5, 1918 All men who had become 21 yrs of age since June 5, 1917. A supplemental registration is held on Aug. 24, 1918 at which time were men who had become 21 yrs of age since June 4, 1918 are required to register. Sept. 12, 1918 This registration provided for the registration of all men between the ages of 18 and 31 to 45 yrs of age. This was the third and final WW1 registration. If you'd like to send away for a copy of someone's registration card: $10.00 for each copy National Archives and Records Administration SE region 1557 St. Joseph Ave. East Point, Georgia 30344-2593 Include this information: Full name of person whom registered birthdate complete home address to include county at time of registration birthplace draft board location & registration date name of wife or nearest relative occupation **CITIES WHICH REQUIRE A STREET ADDRESS OR OTHER SPECIFIC INFORMATION******************************************************* California-Los Angeles & San Francisco ~ Washington D.C.~ Georgia-Atlanta Illinois-Chicago ~ Indiana-Indianapolis~ Kentucky-Louisville~Louisiana-New Orleans~Maryland-Baltimore~Massachusetts-Boston~Minnesota-Minneapolis & St. Paul~Missouri-Kansas City & St. Louis~New Jersey- Jersey City & Newark New York-Albany, Buffalo, NYC, & Syracuse~Ohio-Cincinnati & Cleveland~ Pennsylvania-Luzerne County, Philadelphia, & Pittsburgh~Rhode Island-Providence~Washington-Seattle~Wisconsin-Milwaukee sign your name to this and include your address & telephone number I did not know my "draft board location" and still received my copy of the card within a week. The information on the registration card is the persons name, address, age, home address, date of birth, natural born citizen/naturalized citizen/ alien?, where were you born?, if not a citizen of what country are you a citizen or subject?, what is your occupation?, by whom employed?, where employed?, have you any dependents?, married/single?, race?, what military service have you had? branch? yrs? Nation or state?, do you claim exemption from the draft? specify grounds, then actual signature of registrant On the back of the card is tall/medium/short?, slender/medium/stout?, Color of eyes? hair? bald? has person lost arm, leg, hand foot, or both eyes or is he otherwise disabled? My card was from a June 1917 draft. I don't know if anything varied on later drafts.

Hi Would like to ask if anyone know what 'HCAS" (place of birth) stands for, it came from census. Thanks, Mary Jo

Hello ECRs, I have changed my email address so please update your files. germanic42@home.com Because of this I have had to update all my web sites.

Can't help with specifics, but you'll have to wait 3 more years for the 1930 census. It won't be released until 2002.

Hi All! Does anyone have an EDWARD RICHARD in their research? The only thing I know about him is he was alive in NEWARK NEW JERSEY in 1944. I found an old insurance policy with his name on it and my grandmother as the beneficiary...things that make you go hmmm. Jeannine/Pittsburgh

I grew up in Harrison, Kearny, and East Newark. One of the sarcastic remarks about Harrison was that it held the Guinness World Record for most bars/taverns per square mile. There were a lot of drinking establishments and a considerable number continue to conduct business to this day. I followed the lead of several of my peers back then. As a kid, I nailed some boards together, purchased some shoe cleaning supplies and polish, and made a few bucks going from bar to bar, shining shoes. Christmas was an especially lucrative time. BTW: The street is named Harrison Avenue.

Hi all! I am new to this list and wanted to ask a few questions. Can anyone tell me if Rutgers St. still exists? Is anyone familiar with Morton Street School? Is anyone familiar with Continental Mutual Reserve Insurance company? Also, I would really appreciate a census lookup if anyone has these years available. 1920 and/or 1930 Willis MOORE--head Bessie Johnson--wife African-American Barber--occupation Any info on these inquires would be very much appreciated.

Hi, This is from another list. Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserveall the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG>

Hi, I would appreciate a look up in directories.... In 1866 a Waldmann built a "handsome residence on High street"..... in 1909 a great aunt is living at 334 High Street. Did the family have a place for all those years on High street? Would really tie two branches of my family together if I can find a connection. Please help by checking for Waldmann's and let me know names that are listed if any on High street.... Frieda Conrath is g/aunt of mine that lived there. Thanks for any help....

Hello List: Anyone researching these names. They are all the same family, but for some reason the name has been changed a few times. Why I have no idea. The family was originally in Newark in 1906 then moved to Maplewood, NJ in 1926. I'm looking for anyone who is related somehow to this family. My dad Peter Zelewitz was married sometime around the 1930-1940's and his first wife deserted him while in the Navy during WW2 and he never discussed this with his children and the family is curious to find out if we have any unknown 1/2 brothers or sisters out there somewhere. Other names that are related are SEDLAK, BAEBI, COLLETTE and FISCHER. Thanks, Estelle

Hi Fellow Rooters, Any body out there researching the rare surname HOELZEL? This family is from the Newark and Kearny area? Searching:CAHILL,SOMERS,HIGGINS,QUINN,VERDON, Ireland to NYC. HARRINGTON (NYC) TAYLOR, GILL, Barbados to NYC,and HOELZEL, VERDON in NJ. Thanks, Trish Trishd118@aol.com

Hello, A member of the list suggested that I post the families that I am researching. These include the Fagan, Zink, Hanley, and Barrett and Kane families of Essex County. Specifically they are William and Rose Kane of South Orange, Charles A. and Elizabeth Hanley of East Orange, Edward J. and Delia Barrett of Orange, and Philip and Katherine Zink of East Orange. These families all lived in those areas in the late 1800's to 1940's at least! Anyone with ties to these families is encouraged to contact me directly. Thanks for the good suggestion! Dave Kane
