Looking for information about these individuals...are they a family? Anyone researching LAMBERTS? This information is not proven...looking for verification and sources. Thanks for your help.

Stewart Hartshorn invented the spring mechanism that winds roller window shades back up. His business, then, was making/selling roller window shades. I am not familiar enough with Newark (although it is not far from here) to know where East Newark is, but I stongly suspect it was a part of Newark, since Stewart Hartshorn lived in/built our town. We have an early ad for the Hartshorn roller window shade company, if it is of interest.

Hello ECRs, Let's drop the off topic WWII discussion and get back to the topic of Essex County Genealogy. Thank you, Glenn G. Geisheimer, Iselin, New Jersey: glenng@castle.net NJEssex Mailing List Administrator Essex County, NJ Genealogy: http://www.rootsweb.com/~njessex/ Virtual Newark, NJ: http://www.castle.net/~glenng/newark/newark.htm Essex County Query Forum: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NJ/Essex

Liz, I can't help you about 1937 but yes, East Newark is different that Newark, NJ. East Newark is a little community in Hudson County, just across the river from Newark. It is wedged between Harrison and Kerney, which are much bigger communities. My family is from all those communities. My father from Newark and my mother's mother from East Newark and mother's father from Newark. Dave from Long Island

I think once again clarification needs to be established about the difference between CD look-ups and microfilm. The listing Steve has been so kind to provide is a listing of film numbers from the Family History Library - which is connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - the Mormons. The Mormons believe in the family and have therefore archived on both microfilm and microfiche thousands and thousands of documents. These are NOT CD's where you just plug in a name, etc and get an answer. For a complete understanding of this procedure which available to everyone, not just Mormons, go to www.lds.org and click on "Family History" - it will give you an explanation of what is available (although not individual tape listings) at a History Center and where the closest one to you is. This is a great place - you find the tapes/microfiche you want to look at, order them for about $3.50 a tape. You can find Church Records, Census Records, City Directories, Naturalization Records, ETC - for the US, individual states, and foreign countries. You can look in their Ancestral File (which IS on CD and search by surname) for others who may also be researching you family. They also have many books, maps, etc in the library itself and many other wonderful tools. If you have not visited one, you should - Good luck, Barbara

Almost forgot , what is now known as Liberty House acquired that name during WWI as it originally had a German name . Kevin on Maui

Here in Hawaii , one result of mistrusting the local Japanese population was our planes were lined up wing tip to wing tip on Dec. 7 and thus easily destroyed. I have heard of local prejudice against Japanese here at that time , but I do not believe any official action was taken , as on the mainland . I have not heard of any reson beside the fact that they were Japanese that they were mistrusted ; when the Army decided to recruit local Japanese , the 442 was the result , and was highly decorated .

Hi! I just received the 1937 SS5 for my father, Joshua Thomas JACOB (1920-1997). Apparently he started working for Stewart Hartshorn Co., 145 Grant Ave., E. Newark, NJ at the age of 16. Does anybody know what business this company was in? I guess Dad must have been an apprentice at that age. Is E. Newark a different city from Newark? in Essex Co.? Thanks for any help.

I seek descendent info re: the Samuel Kitchell family that settled in Newark, NJ in the 1600s. Sam was married twice, 1) in 1657 to Elizabeth Wakeman and 2) ? Grace Pierson. I am interested in the children he had with Elizabeth, especially daughter Susannah, who, I believe married Jonathan Baldwin. I need birth, death, marriage info about the above. Thanks Lucy Russell

This is an answer to the following e-mail- Hi Steve, Guess you've never heard the shameful story of how thousands of Japanese Americans were taken from their houses, their possessions seized, and put into internment camps during WWII. Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi's parents were in these camps. One of the camps, at least, is now a state park/monument, whatever, that I visited. They look pretty bleak. Sadly, this person did not live during the time of the Japanese cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor, an attack that left many of our servicemen dead and wounded. An attack that was in no way was caused by any threat to the Japs by the U.S. Remember how their diplomats in Washington kept stalling our officials until the vicious attack took place.. Don't shed any tears for the Japanese-Americans who were moved to areas where the threat of sabotage could be reduced. Although they were housed in these camps, they lived a hell of a lot better than our men who were forced into the "Death March' in the Philippines. Instead of handing out $20,000 to these internees' families, we should have given that to our troops who were in the Death March. How many internees were tortured and killed? I'm sure that our fighting men would have gladly traded places with them. If you want the truth behind the so-called internment camps, read some of the literature that reveals the facts.

Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi's parents were in these camps. One of the camps, at least, is now a state park/monument, whatever, that I visited. They look pretty bleak. On the German side, I've read in history books how in WWI there were attacks on businesses, and some people, of German descent. In my own family, 4 of my great great grandparents went from Germany and settled in Newark. My grandmother was fluent in German as that's what they spoke at home. She didn't learn English till she went to school. She was 15 when we entered the war. She forgot German completely - I bet it was as a result of the prejudice at that time of her life.

My Dad said he thought the School was Market Street School but I can not find a listing. I also checked Gen. Web for Essex county and there was no listing or a school even on Market street. Your help is much appreciated. My guess is that the school may no longer be open. Hopefully someone who grew up in that area may know it's name. I think the school was still open in the 1940's.

Hi All, I apologize in advance if you see this more than once, I am trying to cover all the bases! I am trying to determine if the Joanna OGDEN b. c 1708, dau. of Samuel b. 1678 and his second wife Johannah (SCHELLINGER/SCHELLINX) OGDEN is the same Joanna OGDEN who married George ROSS c. 1736 in prob. Elizabeth or Morris Co., NJ. Samuel Ogden married Johannah in Easthampton, LI, NY, on Sept. 2,1707. Joanna may have been born there or in Elizabethtown, NJ. Her line is not continued in the book "The Ogden Family in America" by William Wheeler. The daughter of Samuel and Johannah was too young to be married at the time of her father's or grandfather's (Abraham Schellinx) death, and so her married name is not revealed in their wills. I have not been able to locate a will for Johannah (she m.2) Samuel WILLIAMS), or her brothers, where she may be mentioned. The "Ross Family of NJ" by Robert L. Ross says the Joanna OGDEN who m. George Ross ( b. c.1705) father's name was Samuel, but nothing further. The Joanna OGDEN who married George ROSS may have died in 1791, probably in Morris Co., NJ. Does anyone have a source either to prove or disprove the two Joanna's are one and the same? I would appreciate any and all help! thanks, Kathleen Pantano kpantano@hotmail.com kpantano@msn.com Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
