this is my only NJ list so I hope you won't mind that it's not about Gloucester Co. I have 2 sources for the place of death of my DOTY ancestor around 1750. One says Basking Ridge, Summerset, NJ. The other one, "Edward Doty of the Mayflower and his Descendants for Four Generations" (pub 1996 by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants) says the same ancestor died prob. in Morris Co., NJ, after 1746. Would these be the same place, with a changed county boundaries? Thanks for your help, Linda McDowell [email protected]

Does anyone know of a Charles MALLEY who married my Mary Emma FITZGERALD in Gloucester County, by "Rev." Walsh? Also, what church Walsh was affiliated with? And any other Malleys. Lastly, anyone have any other clues, such as address? Mary Emma was b. Feb. 18, 1852. I do not know where she is buried. Thanks, Vince

Hi, New Camden Cem. is just across the street from Evergreen Cem. in Camden. New Camden records are still held by the City of Camden Public Works office. Call information for the number and they'll connect you to the department that has the records. I found them to be helpful after I gave them my ancestors names. They called me back in 2 days with plot numbers and causes of death, as well as DOB and DOD. It sure helped advance my research for at least 2 of my ancestors. Good Luck, Joan

Debby Vertical Files are usually loose sheets of note, records, etc. that are kept in a file cabinet. As a file cabinet most often is only about 12 inches wide, 4 or 6 drawers high, as opposed to a book shelf in a library that can be several feet wide, I believe that is where the term "vertical" came from. You should be able to photocopy the material in the file. Pat B

Our vertical files consist of loose materials taken from various sources. They may include family group sheets, Bible records, genealogies, documents, vital statistics, etc. for particular families. Our fee for copies by mail is fifty cents for the first ten pages and twenty-five cents for each additional page including postage. Requests for copies should be sent to GCHS, 17 Hunter St., Woodbury, NJ 08096-4605.

Can someone explain what a vertical file is? At the Gloucester County Historical Society they have a list of Vertical Files and I found several of my family names listed there. What do I need to do to find out how I can get copies of them if it's family information? There are 11 different families that match mine. Biggest discover yet! Debby

Welcome to the FLOYD mailing list! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to FLOYD as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to [email protected] to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] to start receiving digests. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to [email protected] It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both.

Personnel records may have been destroyed but I know there are a lot of living memories out there. I am willing to accept and store your memories of New York shipyard. Be as specific as possible with names and dates. I only have a webtv so I don't know how much storage space I have, but I'm willing to start it now. Send information or questions to: [email protected] Dan Stetser

Ms. Suzan Kaye, My father also worked at NY ship and when I showed him Mr. Sharp's response to you, he answered me the following. He also said he remembered your relative and his two brothers. They were from South Woodbury and my father's family was from North Woodbury. They were very fierce rivals and he remembers they were tough guys. If you have any specific questions maybe he could answer those for you too. His Response: "The first job i had was as an office boy in the Tin Shop Ed. Sharp still going to college was in this same office, i can close my eyes even now and can picture Ed. a clean very serious man. i vaguly remember Harry Kaye.   I started at N.Y. Ship may 1936 as 10,00 wk. office boy 1938 transfered to Electric Dep't as ship clerk. 1940 started as 3 class wireman in 1940 jumped up to Lay Out man 10 cents hr. above 1st class Electrican layed off 1949 as 1st. class leader went back in 1959 worked 2 weeks was promoted to Sub. Foreman. in Oct 1959 Dupont Called me back the Head man at N.Y. Ship tried to get me to stay the yard closed down later i am all ways glad i went back Love youal Dad."

Can anyone help me solve the riddle of my dead end Esther Wills. She married Zebulon Brooks s/o Hannah Bowen and Timothy Brooks. Based on descendant information, I imagine she was born ca 1710....but it is a guess....Although the Brooks family lived in Cumberland County, I am posting to Burlington and Gloucester because of the preponderance of Wills in those counties.... Esther Wills and Zebulon Brooks had the following children: Zebulon, John, Joseph, Mary and James. Thanks for any and all help. Georgia Whitson

Suzan- My father, C. Edward Sharp, worked for NY Ship for nearly 20 yrs both before and after WWII. He was in the personnel dept serving as industrial relations manager and employment manager. He left the company in 1954 [went to work for RCA which was also in Camden]. Sorry to tell you that when NY Ship closed all employment records were destroyed. -- Malcolm Schalick Sharp http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~msharp -- "Suzan P.

Found in a newspaper. I usually send it out around Veterans Day. A Little More Than Duty Somewhere a bugle sounds, and men inside their building wait until the flag comes down. And others run to get their car quite harrowed or dismayed. Afraid they will not reach the gate before "Retreat" is played. Not thinking of the flag or men who fought to keep it flying. How many would be glad to stand whose bodies now are mute. Or have no hand that they might raise. and stand in proud salute. So accept it not as a duty, but a privilege even more. And receive as an honor, instead of just a chore. author unknown

Dear Gloucester Co. researchers: ... And all this time, I've been assuming that "New York Shipbuilding Co." (where my husband's great-grandfather, William Henry KAYE of Woodbury, Gloucester Co., worked for more than 30 years) was in *New York* .... I just found out it was in Camden County, NJ, of all places! (Solves a really big mystery -- couldn't figure out how in the world Gr-Grandpa KAYE was commuting to work in NYC!) The shipyard closed in 1967. Is there anyone out there who might be able to tell me where this company's employee records might be held? National Archives, maybe??? It was a privately owned shipyard, but it was "a leader in Naval construction," according to the website devoted to they yard's history. http://members.aol.com/nyship/home.html Thanks for everything!
