My Mom had a cousin whose last name was Parks - he married a Tillie Blunt sometime in the 1940's I think. They lived in the Orange area. Don't know where she was from. If she is in your line, perhaps I can help with more info. Lonna717@aol.com wrote: I am researching the BACCARI family of Newark and the BLUNT family, also of Newark.

Hi Shawn: Thanks for the update and the tips. I had the frustrating experience of missing posts to the NJEssex mailing list. I'll keep trying.

I haven't heard any recent complaints about posts disappearing. Either it isn't happening anymore or people have given up asking about it. I suspect the latter. One of the admin lists I belong to just had a long discussion about the very problem we were having: i.e. posts disappearing into a black hole. This has been happening to many other lists, not just ours. Here are some of the points made: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... it is also known that now that the SPAM filters have been tightened, more mail is disappearing. Please make sure that your list subscribers know that they must send all posts in Plain Text. Emails in HTML disappear without a trace. ----- .... with the increased tightening of the spam filters some legit list mail is being lost--just disappearing. When a message just "disappears" like that with no bounce or notice--the problem is either HTML embedded in the message or something that got caught in the spam filters. If it is the latter, suggest the person change the subject a bit and see if that works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many other admins noted that they had done all of the above but legit, text-based messages were still disappearing. So to reiterate one more time (redundant?): If you have a message that "disappears" or doesn't post within 24-hours check the following: 1. Make sure you are sending only text-based messages. No background images in the email 2. No attached files 3. Trying changing/modifying the subject line slightly 4. Repost your message 5. If it doesn't show up a second time send me a copy at shawnpdempsey@msn.com and I'll post it for you. According to the admin list rootsweb has made a lot of changing over the past 6 months and they are still working out some issues.

I must say that with the recent(ahem) attention to genealogy paid by so many people, it seems more and more churches are doing history books w. info(names and dates of what entailed) in them to sell and raise money. i think its a great project and suggested it to the church where my gggp's belonged and my gggf was baptised and married-and his wife also-but they have no interest in putting together a book of info- go figure. matawan churches have done some and some of hte matawan cemeteries are done in books-i dont have all of them however-would love to have rose hill cemetery of matawan- but i know that they are done, which is something many of you in whatever church you belong to, may want to suggest doing, to raise money for your churches. what church ever says they have enough money? none of them. its interesting for me to see that my husb. father joined the methodist church in matawan, transferring from morganville/marlboro church and the wedding of his parents etc.and of many of my friends families history lines= well im done rambling- no need to answer this, as i just wanted to put a flame under some one to get their records done and safe as the church i was married and baptised and all in. had the records burn last yr. if a book had been done, i could use that for records. linda <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Many old church records were kept in a private home. Many were kept at the parish level. Some were disposed of by disinterested family or none family, that may have settled an estate. Some were filed at the state level of the particular denomination. I am speaking here only from personal experience as my church historian for the United Methodist Church of Bloomsbury, Hunterdon County. Some are on file at Drew University. But not ALL by any means. So I hope you who are trying to search out Methodists will find this helpful. I just wish we had not lost our burial records as well as that of many others. With the changing of pastors it's entirely possible that some were held at the parsonage and got packed up and moved as the pastors moved too. ;( All bad luck for us who are so interested in all this information. Perhaps others of Protestant denominations can also fill us in on how the others operated. Don't forget there were also traveling pastors who actually had no parish long before the churches were even built. Some of them have been documented and some have not. In the very early records denomination, as long as staying within the same group (Protestants) vs. Roman Catholic it really didn't make a lot of difference who they used. As long as it was their group and in the area at the time.

Yesterday I attended my monthly meeting of the Parker Genealogical Society of Colorado (PGS). I am also their webmaster. The guest speak, Valerie Eichler, spoke about Church Records, what can be found and what types of records may be available. I jotted down some notes and thought I would share it with you all. The following is not a complete list but something to think about when looking for church records. Not all churches will have all of these records. But you may want to make inquiries of the churches you are researching to see just what they do have. 1. Looking for Birth, marriage, death records check the following sources for church references: Certificates are filed at various levels of government. And if missing in one location may be available in another. a. State Certificates b. County Certificates c. Church Certificates 2. Removal & Arrival Records Churches kept records of people leaving and arriving to and from their church. Some records may only record names. Other records may record where they came from, or went to, various events in a person's life, who they were related to, etc. a. Removal Records - record people leaving a church community b. Arrval Records - record people coming into a church community 3. Communion Records 4. Confirmation Records 5. List of Communicants - a listing of members who received communion (can be recorded weekly, monthly, annually). This is considered a good substitute for census records especially the missing 1890 Census. 6. Membership Lists - lists of members of a church. Could contain just a list of names. Or more information like dates of events, addresses, relatives, etc. 7. Minutes - notes on meetings, events, records all information about a group and what is happening in the community. a. Protestant churches - usually call their minutes "Vestry" b. Lutheran churches - usually call their minutes "Sessions" c. Baptist churches - usually call their minutes "Meeting Records" 8. Church Denomination Archive Each church denomination has it's own archive - the keeper(s) of church records. If a church doesn't exist any more try to locate the Archive that might contain it's records. Some churches will regularly submit their records to its archive to ensure they survive. Hope this gives you all some new directions for looking at church records.

Yes I am aware of Dr. Victor Mravlag's standing in the Elizabeth community including the fact that he was the mayor and quite a politition. I do have a collection of histories, newpaper articles, etc. about the family. His first wife Lucy Allen Griffith Mravlag was also a physician. I have his family history back to 1743 in Graz Slovenia (Austria) and his college years in Vienna. I called Evergreen Cemetery. The first two phone calls went to voice mail which I never got a callback. Finally on the 3rd call a person answered who said she was in the office alone and had no time to do a thorough search for me. She did gave me the burial location by phone for Cordelia Mravlag. But when I asked about any other Mravlag she started giving me the run-around. When I mentioned her husband Victor Mravlag being cremated she said that he is interred with Cordelia. After I mentioned their son who died in the early 1900's she said he is buried next to them. It was like pulling teeth. Finally she said that I have to send a written request with $25.00 for a more thorough search. I know that Victor Srs. first wife is buried there too as I have her death certificate. They say they have no burial location for her. I think she may be buried under her maiden name or something else as she was always referred to as Lucy Allen Griffith Mravlag. I did mail the $25 and a letter requesting a thorough search of records. BTW she said they had to bring in someone special to do this search for me. Mary Jeffrey Angelo <Paroli@worldnet.att.net> wrote: Mary- Since you live in Wisconsin, I'm not sure if you're aware of the significance of the Mravlag surname within Elizabeth, N.J. The present Mravlag Manor(built in 1930's?)as subsidized housing. I believe it is still owned by the City of Elizabeth. My understanding is that Dr. Mravlag(Victor?) was a much respected and influential resident of the City. Try the Elizabeth Public Library for family history, City Directories and/or obits. Family name well known in Elizabeth with biographical info. I'm certain a few other list members are knowledgable re: Mravlag. The clerical staff at Evergreen Cemetery are people who have lived most of their lives in the Elizabeth and Newark area. They're probably familiar with the Mravlag name. Arm yourself with as much family history as you can to establish your connection to Elizabeth, N.J. and the Mravlag name. Then call the office and engage them in conversation re: request for burial info. They receive many written requests from individuals across the U.S. Save time and possibly get more info. if you establish a verbal contact with them. susan ---- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 7:40 PM Subject: Re: [NJESSEX] Mravlag naturalization & Evergreen Cemetery > > In a message dated 3/8/2007 4:31:42 P.M.

My grandmother who died in 1931 is buried in the Saints section. Luckily when I went there the workers drove to the location and I followed behind. They walked off the number of plots and showed me where my grandmother was buried. She did not have a headstone. Perhaps some may have originally had flat stones but perhaps after so many years they are covered over. The cemetery was able to tell me according to their records she did not have any type of headstone. Upon leaving, I gave the gentlemen $10.00. They didn't want to take it but I insisted. It was well worth the $10.00 to see the grave of my grandmother who I never got to meet.

And the Saints Sections are the oldest sections in the cemetery. Walking around you will see lots of areas with no headstones. But according to staff the Saints sections are completely full. Just some people could not afford headstones including some of my ancestors who are in the row called St Kevins. I hate to sound like a broken record but have your relatives call the cemetery office ahead of time, set a time for them to go there, and they will have a grounds keeper take them out to the exact plot. That's how I found my St. Kevins plot. I would never have figured it out without their help.

Hi All, (forgot to change the subject line in the last email .... again) Well after great 'H' postings we didn't receive a single 'I' posting. I kind of expected that, though thought we might get one or two. Let's move on to the letter 'J'. RULES: ======================================= 1. Your subject line: [NJESSEX] [J] SURNAME - city So if you are researching the surname JAMES in Newark your subject line should read [NJESSEX] [J] JAMES - Newark or if you have a timeframe it could also be [NJESSEX] [J] JAMES - Newark (1880-1900) 2. Maximum time devoted to a single letter with be 1 week 3. Minimum time will be 48-hours if there's not a lot of activity or response 4. Surnames should be all CAPS to stand out 5. If you have a long surname then keep the subject line short. Long subject lines will get cut-off by your email program. Reserve important details for the text in the body. 6. Body - be precise. List pertinent names, dates, events, questions in the body text. 7. Important: list dates/years if known. Your John Anderson born in 1900 will not be the same as someone elses John Anderson born in 1875. But without any dates noone will know. 8. When replying about any NAME asked for, reply to the LIST, not just to the sender. Members who may have ancillary connections, will get the benefit. And we'll make new friends as well! 9. Finally, close your email with your name and your email address. 10. HAVE FUN !!!!!! If you have any questions, PLEASE, don't hesitate to contact me. Have fun posting!
