I was wondering if someone could locate an obituary for my great grandfather, Amandus (Köpper) KOEPPER, Jr., who died 19 Feb 1925 Union Hill, Hudson Co New Jersey. His death certificate states: DEATH CERT INFO: Armandus Koepper, Jr. residence: 183 Hudson Ave. Union, widowed, wife: Augusta Hesser, date of birth: Feb 5, 1864, age: 61 yrs 14 days, Occupation: Bartender, birthplace: Germany, Informant: Julius Koepper 417 Rossouth Street, Union, date of death: Feb 19, 1925. burial: Feb 22, 1925. I'd like to find out a listing of his descendants, place of burial so perhaps I can find he and his wife, Augusta who has been listed as "LUTZ", "HESSE", "HESSER" ... "Mary", "Lizzie" and "Augusta".

Nevermind the transciptions sometimes being wrong...the census taker can be off too.? I was looking up my husband's grandfather in Newark - Mascitelli and started looking at each handwritten page until I found their address and there was the family - listed as Mastellia (how I would transcribe it) and the ancestry transcription is Masteller or possibly Mastellen. -----Original Message----- From: evelynmch@aol.com To: njhudson@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:08 am Subject: Re: [NJHUDSON] NJHUDSON Digest, Vol 3, Issue 72 My personal experience has been that the streets are often in no logical order on pages in the census. There are often "widow" entries at the end of a district, but there are often single entries in no particular order in the middle of pages of entries for streets. Looking back at the 1930 census here on my Bergen County street just out of curiousity, it was a real hodge-podge of two or three adjecent houses, two or three on the next block, then the rest of my street...and so on. In my experience locating people in Jersey City, it is often more worthwhile to scan a particular area's enumeration sheets, looking for pages that cover a particular part of the city, starting out with the targetted address, and working out from there. I don't usually pay any attention to the districts, but to the area. Census takers often spent time going back and forth from house to house, looking for people that were intentionally avoiding them out of fear of the government, and often had large areas to cover. What is now densely urban Jersey City, had large areas where there were only a limited number of houses because the land was still in use for other things, or was still held in reserve for other uses. So the census taker did a lot of walking in 1880, and some of the more dedicated spent months tracking down people that were not at home or were deliberately hiding from them - and not all of those entries are on the right sheets in the right places. Sometimes, there are enumeration sheets tucked in, here and there, with the results of the months of seeking out those people, long after other districts had been filed and turned in to the Census office in Washington. Sometimes these show up online, in the last pages of a particular census as sort of "etc." pages with bits and pieces of various districts within the city. I have not looked at the 1880 census online (my family got here starting in the 1890's), but I would not be surpised if there are similarities in how the pages appear. There are always errors in the transcriptions. I spent months looking for my grandparents in Jersey City in 1930, knowing where they were living for a certainty, only to find them, names misspelled, and my infant father's name completely wrong but with a correct age, after I bit the bullet and started looking at page after page of the actual sheets rather than the online transcriptions. It's not fun, but that may be the only way you may find them. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NJHUDSON-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

As a list member with family buried in the Jersey City Cemetery (the Edge-Fleming vault), I would like to know what would be the best steps to take to get some kind of positive action regarding the cemetery. I am partiularly concerned about the old records. The last time I was in (about 1976 or so) I was able to view an old volume listing the occupants of the vault giving names, dates, causes of death, etc. This is valuable information that goes back to the beginnings of Jersey City and should not be lost to future historians. Is someone on this list aware of how to get these records preserved, either by the LDS microfilm service or by the City Library or The City University of New Jersey.? If the private corporation that manages the cemetery has abrogated responsability for the property, who will take over? If enough people are interested, can we influence the outcome of the meeting?

Published online 30 April 2008 | Nature | doi:10.1038/453009a News Genetics bill cruises through Senate Unanimous vote welcomed by personal genomics companies. Meredith Wadman The unanimous vote last week by the US Senate to outlaw discrimination against people on the basis of their genetic information is being celebrated by civil-rights groups, which have long campaigned for the safeguards. Personal-genomics companies are also cracking open the champagne - they have a lot to gain from the bill becoming law. Once enacted, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) will forbid employers and health insurers from using people's genetic information against them in decisions on hiring, firing, promotion and insurance coverage and pricing. The House of Representatives should pass the legislation this week, after which it is expected to be signed into law by President George W. Bush. "This will help the notion of personalized medicine move forward more quickly," says Linda Avey, co-founder of 23andMe, a personal-genetics company in Mountain View, California, that is trail-blazing a highly visible, and controversial, direct-to-consumer market. Avey says her employees erupted in cheers and applause when the bill's passage was announced at a staff meeting the next day. "We were very happy." The bill is also likely to help other companies that trumpet the virtues of consumers' access to their own genetic data in a way that presumes it won't explode in their hands. "The customers of these new personal-genomics companies are able to download their genomes and share them electronically with others," notes Kathy Hudson, director of the Genetics and Public Policy Center at Johns Hopkins University in Washington DC. "Until the passage of GINA, the sharing of that information actually put them at risk. The bill bans US employers from collecting genetic information from their employees, and ensures that insurers can't request or require people to take genetic tests. Sanctions include government fines and lawsuits in federal courts. The House passed a similar bill a year ago, by 420 to 3. It was then sent to the Senate, where it was stalled by objections from Senator Thomas Coburn (Republican, Oklahoma). The last of those objections was resolved last month by the insertion of wording preventing companies that insure their own employees from being punished twice under the law: once as an employer, and once as an insurer. But the new language also prevents an employee from suing their employer under the act if both the employer and the insurer are culpable in the same situation. The wording is ambiguous enough, however, that it "will almost assuredly lead to litigation once it's passed into law", says Jeremy Gruber, the legal counsel for the National Workrights Institute, an employee advocacy group based in Princeton, New Jersey. It will therefore be the courts, he says, that "will clarify which situations might be objectionable enough" for an employer to be sued even if an insurance issue is involved. The United States is not the first to implement such a law - countries including Austria and France have laws forbidding genetic discrimination - but it has by far the largest private-insurance market. The bill took months to get through the Senate and it still has its detractors. The Chamber of Commerce fought the bill on Capitol Hill, claiming that it would burden businesses with paperwork and expense, in part because it doesn't pre-empt a patchwork of existing state laws. "The bill also includes excessive damage provisions that will invite frivolous litigation," the Chamber continues to complain on its website. But the bill's supporters argue that, rather than burdening the US employers who largely pay for that insurance, it will help them by easing health-care costs. "If we provide these protections, individuals will have the incentive to increasingly avail themselves of medical knowledge," says Senator Olympia Snowe (Republican, Maine), the leading sponsor of the Senate bill. "They may be able to take action as a result, preventing disease or premature death and also reducing the burden of high health-care costs." For researchers, the law may prove a boon. The next generation of studies to identify gene culprits associated with complex diseases will involve tens of thousands of willing participants as cases and controls. "The success of those kinds of studies, I think, was significantly threatened by people's fears about genetic discrimination," says Hudson. MIKE maurmike1@verizon.net

It's been a while since I've posted to this list and in hopes of finding information on my great-grandmother, Augusta "Mary" (Hesse) LUTZ. According to records I've obtained, she was born Aug 1862 in Hamburg, Germany. She came to the USA with a man, Amandus (Köpper) KOEPPER, Jr., who is listed as her husband aboard the SS Pretoria sailing from Hamburg 20 June 1898 Arriving at Port of NewYork 1898; Line 21-39 Amandus Kopper 36, M, Painter, Read: YES, Write: YES, was in Quincy Illinois six years ago $200 in possession, Augusta 36, Wife, Wilb 11, Julia 10, Fredie 7, Emma 2, Louis 2, ____ (cannot read), Adolf 7, (manifest is difficult to distinquish names) ... Final destination; Hoboken, NJ ....( looks like two sets of twins ) - Emma is my paternal grandmother. A cousin of mine, Emma's twin brother's son, claims Amandus Koepper was a footman for the Hesse Royal Family and possibly kidnapped Augusta or she voluntarily left the country with her children. Several of Augusta "Mary" (Hesse) LUTZ children are listed as LUTZ and her name was listed as "Mary" not Augusta while others list her as Augusta and children are listed as KOEPPER. Any clarification would be extremely helpful and sincerely appreciated. Amandus (Köpper) KOEPPER, Jr. died 19 Feb 1925 Union Hill, Hudson Co New Jersey and we've been unable to find a death time/place for his wife.
