Can anyone please check out the following for me? Stuhlinger - 219 Belmont Avenue, Newark, NJ 1939 Thanks

For any of you who know their ancestors worked for the Newark Fire Department, I wanted to let you know that they are EXTREMELY helpful in locating records. I found that my Great-Great Uncle was a captain (through one of the city directories - departments are listed on the last few pages) in the department in 1911 and wrote to them. Believe it or not I received a personal call from a Mr. Stanley J Kossup, Director letting me know that they found the service records. He forwarded them on to me. They contained not only my uncle's record in the department, but personal information such as former position (before being hired at the department), height, weight, marital status (and date of marriage), retirement date and date of death, etc. AND these records were from March 16, 1896, which was further back than the police department could assist with. For those of you who need it, the address is as follows: Attn: Stanley J. Kossup, Director Newark Fire Department 1010 18th Ave Newark New Jersey 07106 PHONE: (201) 733-7424 Hope this also helps someone, Barbara

Hello ECR's, I have managed to get the LDS film containing the indexes to the NJ court Naturalization records (LDS film 1306269) as well as Indexes to the declarations of intention lodged with the New York Eastern District court (film 1728538). If anyone wants me to do a lookup for them please send the details to me and I will see what I can do. However, I do ask the following 1. You MUST look at the URL's below just so you are aware of the years covered by these films http://www.familysearch.org/fhlc/supermainframeset.asp?display=filmhitlist&c olumns=*%2C180%2C0&filmno=1306269 and http://www.familysearch.org/fhlc/supermainframeset.asp?display=filmhitlist&c olumns=*%2C180%2C0&filmno=1306269 2. Please be very specific about the name you are researching (first and last names), and the year (within 2 year time frame). 3. No wild goose chases please. I have to manually search through this film which will take a fair time to do, so please be considerate and do not ask me to do a search unless you have some definite details about the name and year. 4. I will be going to look at the films again next Tuesday, and I will be sending them back on Wednesday. I hope the above doesn't sound too negative, however it does need to be said so I do not waste my time unnecessarily. Glad to help! Regards, Steve (Australia)

Frederick Waldmann died on 3 May 1888... He is buried in Woodland cemetery. I am trying to make sure this is correct person from my family by finding out his occupation from an obit from a paper published at that time. Would appreciate someone looking him up or giving me information as to where to write to get that information. Appreciate any help... Dave Dhwaldmann@aol.com

Hello ECRs, A few of you have written to me this past weekend inquiring as to why the Web Site for the Essex County Clerk was unavailable. Today was the first time that I've been able to get through to it but it seems that instead of the Clerks Web Site, the Registrars Web Site comes up. I've put in a phone call to the Clerk's Office and left a message on their message system. Hopefully they will call me back and explain what happened to their site. On the INS front, it seems as if the Naturalization Dept. has been able to recover their asbestos covered records and they are once again available. Good Luck, Glenn G.

Hi fellow ecrs, What is the general course of action to take to locate immigration or naturalization papers? All I have are possible years (1900 and 1903) to go on. What are my chances of being able to track my grandparents down with only this information?

It sounds very interesting... >>To all my fellow researchers. My brother is a truck driver. He gave me a program today that just blew my mind. It is a travel program that he purchased at Walmart for $9.95. It is called Travel Maps USA by Cosmi. It shows all the cemeteries in the United States. All the County Roads. And all the main roads. You can search by Address, City, State, County, Zip Code, Airport, and Other Places. In Other Places you can put the name of the Cemetery that you are trying to find and it will show you exactly where it is. You can zoom in on the cemetery and it will show you the layout of the cemetery When you first find the cemetery it shows 2 crosses side by side. Click on them and the cemetery layout will appear. No more asking anyone how to get to that cemetery. You can put in your address and the address of the cemetery and it will give you turn by turn directions to it. Let me tell you it is a must for all of us researchersand the price is right and you can get it at your nearby walmart. When you look for it it will be in a cd case on a rack. It is not in a box. There are no instructions with the program. The program has a built in help file. Take my word for it, it is a must for all of us researchers.<< ==== PABUTLER Mailing List ==== You can unsubscribe by clicking below for the regular list: mailto:PABUTLER-L-request@rootsweb.com Click below for the digest list: mailto:PABUTLER-D-request@rootsweb.com In the BODY include only one word: unsubscribe (Please turn OFF your signature file when sending the message) --part1_90cb5b47.24b29114_boundary--

Hello Peggy, Yes, all those changes were done. The point being that these interim changes do appear on various genealogical records recorded during those times which makes our job as genealogists that much harder. An important clue to your ancestors heritage could be lost because of the "Americanization" of some words. History and Genealogy go hand in hand. >You have got to be kidding!!

Can anyone on the list do a marriage look-up for me for Catherine McENROE (my ggrandmother) and a ? FLYNN (I don't know his first name) for the year 1881 or 1882? They were probably married in Newark, but I'm not sure. She emmigrated from Ireland in early 1881 and worked for a weathy family in Newark. Also, I need to find a birth record of her daughter, Mary FLYNN, born in April 1883. I am guessing, but I think she was born in Newark. I have not written to NJ State Archives yet, as I only was able to obtain the information on Mary just recently. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Gail in Chicago.

Seeking information regarding surviving relatives of the Reverend Julius David Rose', M.D., Ph.D. (1824-1890). The son of a Lutheran minister, Dr. Rose' was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1824, came to New Jersey in 1845 and married Elizabeth Krieg in New York City in 1847. The following year he became an Episcopalian and founded St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Newark where he served as Rector from 1848 to 1869. During the Civil War he joined the U. S. Army as Chaplain of the 7th Regiment New Jersey Volunteer Infantry from September 1861 to September 1863. After his discharge he entered the field of education serving as Headmaster of St. John's Hall, Summit (1870-1872) and St. Stephen's School, Millburn (1873-1880) . From 1881 until 1890, Dr. Rose' was in residence at Christ Church, Short Hills, where he died on September 12, 1890. He is buried in St. Stephen's Episcopal Cemetery in Millburn. Dr. Rose' had four children: George, Emma, Edith, and Elsie. Edith was buried in the family plot in Millburn in 1965. Anyone with information regarding Dr. Rose' or his family please contact Father David Moreno at ChaplainDM@aol.com.

You have got to be kidding!! Do you mean that they changed the name of these items of food in that time of animosity? It is like the pronunciation of Berlin being changed to Bur-lin(emphasis on the first syllable ) during the first world war. For those of us researching, a name pronunciation change could be a clue but changing the names of food?!!!!! Peggy Fountain-Taylor

Hello ECRs, This is a follow up to my last message about the German Hospital, (I was going out the door to get the ingredients for diner when I wrote it: ) ). Hopefully this will help some people who are stuck with the old/new names. Old Name New Name Sauerkraut Liberty Cabbage German Measles Liberty Measles Gezundheit Liberty Hamburg Place Wilson Ave. Germania Fire Ins Co. National Liberty Ins Co. German Savings Bank United States Savings Bank Jersey City German Hosp Greenville Hospital Manhattan German Hosp Lenox Hill Hospital Newark German Hosp Newark Memorial Hospital On May 22, 1945, Newark Memorial Hospital became Lutheran Memorial Hospital. On June 19, 1952, Lutheran Memorial Hospital became Clara Maass Memorial Hospital. On August 18, 1957, Clara Maass Memorial Hospital moved to its present site. Does anyone know what became of the old German Hospital site? I would assume that it is now part of University Hospital but I don't know for sure. Glenn G.

7/2/99 Good evening everyone: A thought occurred to me while at my putter tonight. Please bear with me. For sometime now, I.e. 35 years, I've been searching for my birthfather's family, whom I believe resided in Newark at the time of my birth back in 1947. If you will remember I posed a question about the fur companies in Newark, NJ back in the early 40's and received a welcomed response. Since I'm pretty much housebound, I'd appreciate anyone assisting me here. I've got his name. I realize that NELSON is quite common; however, he served in the Armed Forces during WW11, which service I'm not able to supply. This search has been long and ardious to say the least. The non id information that I received from Catholic Charities is false, all of it. The names, places and dates. Wherever I looked, I came up with a blank, with the exception of his occupation, I can no longer trust what has been handed to me. To date, I've written every hospital in Essex County for birth certificate but to no avail. No record of birth in New Jersey. One lie right there. NJ Vital Statistics has no record of birth either. Back to square one. So in closing, I appreciate all of you taking the time to read this email and if I can possible usher someone to assist me, I'd be more than thankful for their services, I'd even offer to pay he/she at a reasonable cost. Thank you, patty mccoy therealmac1817@email.msn.com y therealmac1817@email.msn.com

Hello Muriel, Sorting out the Newark Hospitals has been on my to do list for quite awhile. The original German Hospital was built between Bank, Wallace and Newton Streets (1869). After glancing through my unread Clara Maas book I now have this information for you. The anti-German sentiment of the First World War caused various name changes in Newark and one was the changing of the name of the Newark German Hospital to Newark Memorial Hospital. >Does anyone know if the Newark Memorial Hospital in existence in the 20s >and 30s was formerly the New German Hospital listed by Glenn Geisheimer >on his Virtual Newark site? The latter is listed as being at Bank and >Wallace Streets, which is a puzzle, as Bank seems to run into West Market >before reaching Wallace. At any rate, my recollection of Newark Memorial >was that it might have been in that vicinity. > >Muriel > >___________________________________________________________________ >Get the Internet just the way you want it. >Free software, free e-mail, and free Internet access for a month! >Try Juno Web: http://dl.www.juno.com/dynoget/tagj. > > >==== NJESSEX Mailing List ==== >Visit the Essex County Genealogy Web Site at: ><http://www.rootsweb.com/~njessex/> > Glenn G.

Hello ECRs, Does anyone know if the German Evangelical Protestant Church that was in Newark in the 1870s still exists? If not, is there a way to find the original marriage records that the church had? I have a marriage return but it gives only the minimum information, and it raises more questions than it answers.

What a sad history for such a valuable collection and in such a suitable location. Will Johnson Library allow you to rent for several years until a permanent location can be found? If they are so hard up as to ask you to leave, perhaps their Board of Directors would consider a satisfactory rental. If so, you might fan out to all NJ residents who are doing research in NJ?NY, etc. Surely there is a volunteer fund raiser that could help you raise money for such a project. PFTaylor
