I have just posted MOURISON/ MORRISON/ MOWERSON and KEEHNER/ KECHNER City Directory Listings from Newark, NJ. Years from 1850-1925. I am related to numerous folks from both listings but I have been unable to find any current day "cousins." Would really love to find some family members.

My grandmoher came from Ireland, we think in the 1890's. Her sisters were Josephine Boyle, Claire Boyle, Anna Boyle. She met my grandfather James J. Hesson and married. He was a restaurant manager for Child's restaurant -then opened a restaurant of his own. They lived in Newar, West Orange-near Edison's and Kearny. in the early 1900's. How would I get information on Child's Restaurant or old (1930's) obituaries in the Newark News. One of your list members was nice enough to try lookup's for me. Do I have to be personally present to get info?

Is there anyone out there who could find an obituary for my g-father who died in Belleville between January and June of 1905? I found his widow and two children in the NJ 1905 census, or, tell me how to get it from the leading Essex County newspaper of that era. There are conflicting stories about how he died: one says he fell into a canal while intoxicated or that he died trying to rescue someone else who had fallen into an icy canal. I suppose the death of an unrenowned immigrant in those days may not have been worth an obituary or news item, but I hope so. His name was Joseph Albert FELT, the same as mine. Thanks in advance for any help! Joe Felt, expatriate from Madison, Morris County, NJ, now living (?) in damp, cloudy, forever rainy, slug-ridden, moss-covered Bothell, Washington where if one stands still too long, moss grows on your north side, and fingers and toes grow webs between the digits.

Job Swain, 57, and his wife "Experiance," are enumerated in the 1860 U.S. census of Springfield, Union County, New Jersey. Their children include John, 17, Job, 14, and Richard, 10. Job Sr. may have remarried, since the 1850 census of Springfield (then Essex County) shows his wife as Deevy, 32. It shows five other children: George, 18; Betsy, 15; Moses 13; Nancy, 14, and Daniel, 2. Another, older son, William, married Bridget Duffy. Does anyone know of this family? Also, if anyone is researching other Swains in Northern New Jersey, I'd very much like to hear from them. Dave McMane Paris, France

Looking for family of Kate and Stephen Fay , who emmigrated from Hungary in 1889-1890 to Newark. They had 3 children- John b 1877 Amelia b1883 and Albert b1886. Stephen died about 1894 and Kate remarried Samuel Pisehal also from Hungary. Amelia is my g-grandmother. The 1900 census gives their birthplace as Hungary(Ger). Samuel is a shoemaker and Kate looks like a "forewoman in a rag Shop" Mahalo-Kevin

For your information: There is now a RADLEY-L rootsweb e-mail list. The RADLEY line first appeared in Essex Co., NJ at Elizabeth Towne, in the 1600's, and have continued there as near as I can tell. Some Essex Co., NJ families that connect to this line are CARTER, ALLEN, CLARK, BROADWELL, SPINNING, BADGLEY, BAKER, and SHUTE. Donna Sears Chernick

Hi Everyone... I am having a great deal of difficulty (a brick wall, I believe it's called) with one of my lines. The KLUCK/KLUK (both spellings have appeared on various records) line. Diane was nice enough to look in the Newark Directories for me but they didn't appear at all. Now, I find my grandfather's birth certicate has him born January 12, 1912 at 537 15th Avenue, Newark, NJ to Joseph Kluck and Rose Swanski. So I wrote to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery to try and obtain more information of Joseph Kluck/Kluk. They sent me a death date of May 11, 1911. Now, granted, this is possible that my grandfather was conceived right before he passed away but my mother tells me that Joseph remarried after my grandfather was born....I am VERY confused can anyone out there help me out? Are there 2 Joseph Kluck's....Can I obtain a copy of the obituary anywhere (inexpensively)? As an aside to all this, no one can locate any information on Rose Swanski....it is like she never existed. All my requests have been returned with hourly search fees required. I live in Florida so it is impossible, at this time, for me to do research in NJ in person. Any input, advice or help would be MOST appreciated. Thanks in advance and happy hunting to you all. Sincerely, Stacy L. (Wehrle) Yany stayc400@aol.com

Hi, I guess I somehow unsubscribed myself from the Essex list last week. If anyone sent me anything, I apologise for the inconvenience. You may have to resend. Sorry again. Pat from Idaho ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Since Essex Co. and Hudson Co. are so close to NYC, can someone tell me if there is a NYC rootsweb site and what their address is so I may post to them. I have just found out that my Hudson Co. family from Secaucus lived in NYC prior to moving to NJ in 1908. TIA Judy in No. Carolina

HI! Was hoping someone would have any info. on the ILSLEY relatives from Newark. NJ. Beekman Finlay ILSLEY, d, Aug. 1, 1928 Francis G. ILSLEY, d. Mar.30, 1897 Francis L. ILSLEY, b. Sept. 13, 1804 Many thanks, Sue W.

I am wondering how to find an article written by my great aunt, Gertrude Wasson, when she was in school. (1914-1918) There was a contest for the best written article about Newark and supposedly she was one of the students who won. It is also possible that it was printed in the New York Times. Is there a way to find this article without going through reels and reels of microfilm? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Kristy Kjag786@aol.com
