I am trying to find the parents of my ancestors Lawrence & Hannah (VAN WINKLE) THORN. Lawrence and Hannah married in Benton, Yates Co., NY in 1835, but according to census records they were both born in NJ, and Hannah had her first child, born in 1836 in NJ so I think she may have gone home to her family for the birth. The only 2 counties in NJ in 1830 that list both THORN and VAN WINKLE familes are Middlesex and Essex - am hoping someone out there can help as this is one of my brick walls!! Also, my mom thinks the Thorns were Quakers. Thanks, Kari Northup

Does anyone know anything about the Cedar Avenue Presbyterian Church in Montclair? I haven't been able to locate it. According to her 1909 obituary my husband's grandmother, Martha FOSTER MCQUOID was a "prominent" member of the church. I'm trying to find out where in Canada she was born and am hoping there might be some reference in her church records. Thanks, Carolyn grucog@txdirect.net

You definitely can get copies of such things as naturalization papers by mail from the Regional Archives in NYC. You can e-mail or snail mail your request to them. This is their URL: http://www.nara.gov/regional/newyork.html Janice Danks DMS59Dart@aol.com wrote: > A lot of you asked me some questions. I hope this answers most of them.

Hi, I have 2 requests: 1. I am looking for the address of Joseph MCCAULEY in Newark in 1909-1910. Does anyone have access to those year's city directories? I am trying to find him in the 1910 census. 2. Does anyone have a CD of NJ marriages that would include the 1800's? I am looking for the marriage of Joseph MCCAULEY and Catherine FLYNN (or possibly MCENROE). I believe they were married in Newark in the 1800's, but couldn't pinpoint the year. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance Gail in Chicago

Well, today was my last day to view the Intents, and got through a few more pages - to those I was able to find I e-mailed you privately - to those others, I am sorry but I had minor surgery on Friday and couldn't stay very long at the library. Don't be disheartened - like I said there are pages and pages - and thousands of names - I may have missed yours. In addition, remember, you could declare your intention in ANY court - even right off the boat you came on. Dave's information was VERY informative, but alas, for those of you whose ancestors came earlier as mine did, the clerk in Essex Co at the time of around 1851-1860 was a JR Weeks and he did not record very much information at all as I can attest to having either the originals or copy in my possession. Hoping I was able to help some at least. Good luck, Barbara

A lot of you asked me some questions. I hope this answers most of them. If you have more, feel free to ask. Dave. The federal archives is located in the Soho district of Manhattan on the corner of Varick and Houston Streets, on the 12th floor. I have no idea if anything can be ordered by mail. All the papers I got at the New York Archives were from the Federal Court in the Newark, NJ District and they were the originals. On the Certificate of Arrival, it contains: Certificate number, Port of entry, Name, Date, Manner of arrival (in my father's case, the name of the ship) On the Declaration of Intention, it contains: Name, age, occupation, color, complexion, height in feet and inches, weight, color of hair, color of eyes, visible distinctive marks, where born, date of birth, residence, place of origin, vessel, last foreign residence (city and country), port of arrival, arrival date and signature. On the Petition for Citizenship, it contains: District Court, Name, address, occupation, place of birth, date of birth, race, date of Certificate of Intent, District Court of Intent, Marital status, name of spouse, when and where married, birth information of spouse, and number and information of children. Last foreign residence, emigrated from location, port of entry, name at time of entry, date of entry and signature. It also includes affidavits of two witnesses along with name, address, occupation and signatures. On the Certificate of Citizenship Document, it contains: Citizenship Number, petition Number, age at naturalization, sex, color, complexion, color of eyes, color of hair, height in feet and inches, weight, visible distinctive marks, marital status, race, former nationality, signature, full name, address court and date of naturalization and of course the picture of person. On the Oath of Allegiance, it contains: Signature and date sworn, Petition line and list and certificate number. Good luck and happy hunting.
