I have the St Patrick's baptism and marriage film at my FHC Mike, Do you happen to have the file number for FHL for the St Patrick's baptisms and marriages ?? We have a new center opened near me and I will go have a look .. You sent me a beautiful picture of St Patrick's and after seeing it in the dark was nice to see it all lit up . Thanks again, MaryPat

I have the St Patrick's baptism and marriage film at my FHC. You best bet on the death record is to get some one on the list to do a look up at the NJ archives in Trenton. They can make you a copy for $0.50 and send it to you.

Hi, Susan: I could try the naturalization route, though I've found that slow going with other ancestors and inconsistent. Papers for one grandfather listed a birthplace and those for the other didn't. Who would you suggest I write to, assuming he was naturalized in NJ? Stephen was buried from St. Patrick's Church in Jersey City, so that may be where he was a sexton. Diane

Diane, You can actually send to the Family History Center in Utah and get a photocopy of the index page for the death certificate, which will then give you the certificate number. This costs $2 and they usually send within a week. Then, once you get the certificate number, then re-fax another request to get the copy of the death certificate. This also costs $2 and takes about a week. If you email me at [email protected] I will give you the step-by-step instructions. They require you to provide the microfilm number with the request, which, at first is a bit daunting but very very easy once you know the steps. Best of all it can all be done via fax and credit card #, from the comfort of your own home, even downloading the form via their website and searching for the microfilm number on line!

Hi Diane.. On that 1930 census it says he was naturalized in 1900 and immigrated in 1889.. Have you tried to send for his records?? I would imagine it would be NY or NJ.. I see a Stephen on the 1880 census living in East Orange I think... He was a boarder born in Ireland and 34.. On this 1930 it says he was married when he was 34 so that might fit.. It also lists his occupation as a Sexton at a church.. Did the obituary mention which church??

Sorry I can't help you but did you know that there is a KERRIGAN AVENUE in Union City. Maybe some on in the street dept. can help you find out who the street (Avenue) was named after. EL

I'm trying to learn what happened to my grandfather's brother Stephen Kerrigan. I understand he was born in Co. Clare, Ireland, about 1867 and came to America, but then the trail ends. I found a Stephen Kerrigan who fits the description in Jersey City in the 1930 census, and a friend found his obituary in the Newark Evening News, which says he died July 22, 1941, but doesn't mention birthplace or siblings. My friend also says the Hudson County Family History Center has an index of the county death certificates, as well as copies of some of the actual certificates. Unfortunately, it's closed on Saturdays for two months, so she can't get there to look for me (I live in Illinois). Would some kind soul who lives near that FHC mind looking to see if the index, or the certificate itself, indicates Stephen's parents' names or place of birth? To request a certificate through the state, I understand I'd have to send $25 and then wait 3-4 months, and it might not even be the right Stephen Kerrigan. Thanks to anyone who can help me solve this mystery! Diane Culhane

Any one willing to find an obituary for me? I am looking for a Ernest Garber who was born October 23 1903 and died in Bayonne December 1982. Please contact me off list. ANGELA L MCLAUGHLIN [email protected] EarthLink Revolves Around You.

That's a great idea. I'd like to do it also. Any help will bemuch appreciated.

I have some old blank forms. will send them to you . need address or phone number

Mary - I know it sounds crazy, but I've found that a mistake in someone's name or birthdate (a BIG mistake) usually results in a response. I listed a middle name as Elvira once (by accident) and it was supposed to be Elouise and I got the form back by return mail!! It might be hard to pull that off with a broadcast form, but it works with individual requests. Also, keep the questionnaire simple enough that people can fill it out without having to look stuff up. Once they have to look something up and/or ask someone for information, it's much less likely that they will respond - Too easy to 'get around to it' or misplace it. You can always get back to them individually for more detail once you've made some contact.

Sometime starting after 1924 immigrants were required to get a visa from the US consulate in their native country before embarking to the USA. That's what these seem to be. If you go to the image no. 2 you will see a description of column 12 under instructions for preparing manifests.
