The other is to look in Probates in Hudson County around the time that you think that he died. I had that with a relative. Therefore, the death wasn't listed in NJ, although he was waked and buried in JC. Also, for his probate, his death certificate was there from the state in which he died suddenly. Good luck!

Hello, Seeking information on two sisters Edna and Gladys Craft ( Nee Williams) from the Kearney NJ area. They married brothers, hence the same last name as married ladies. Edna died in the 1940's and Gladys in about the late 1980's. All replies appreciated, Joan Williams Doyle

Thank you, Joan Williams Doyle

Hello, I am searching for information and descendants of my great grandfathers brother Charles Janson (Carl Magnus Johansson) born December 31, 1858 in Fargelanda, Dalsland, SWEDEN. He was married a Elina b. 1857 in SWEDEN. They had a child Selma Janson b. January 30, 1889 in New Jersey? In my researching I found an old letter from Carl Magnus sent 1891 from West No 10, 21 Street, BAYONNE, New Jersey. I have a photo (not attached now) of a unknown family with this information printed on the back: The National Photographic View Co., W.O Long. G.W. Heppner. No 339 East 34th Street, New York. I also have a portrait from: U. Snell, Artist, Bayonne City, N. J., of a young man who probably is Charles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mats Onsjö Vänersborg, SWEDEN mats.onsjo@telia.com

Hello: is there some kind soul out there that can do a look up for me in the 1905 Jersey city Directory? Right now I am laid up after surgery and can not get out to do this myself. I am looking forr Oscar Pritchard or his wife Ada listed as his widow. Quite possibly they may still be on Pacific ave. Thank you for any help you may be able to give to me in this matter.

Hi list, Thanks for your replies. My maternal grandmother's line has been a stone wall and now after many years have decided to tackle. Wilhemina Carolina Meyers was born 1894 in Bayonne, I have her birth certificate and it states her father was George Meyers(b. Germany - age 36) and mother Mary Hendle) Her mother supposedly died when she was 2. Years ago I looked on the 1900 census, but only located a Paul Meyer and he had a daughter Carrie which fit her age. I know nothing else about her parentage. I thought maybe the directories would show a George Meyers and I could take it from there. Bonnie

Many NJ high schools had directories published.

Please excuse the off-topic post, but I know that many of you are very knowledgeable researchers who might be able to steer me in the right direction. We are holding our first ever high school reunion (Class of 1974, Saint Michael's, Jersey City, NJ). It was a small class (68 graduates) and therefore the companies that will arrange a reunion, including finding classmates, will not extend their services to us. Could you please send your suggestions (off list please) on how to find classmates (we've already done classmates.com and word of mouth) for those classmates that have vanished? Mailto:jawbay@earthlink.net Perhaps there are records we could access through Freedom of Information? Thank you so much in advance for your patience with this off-topic request and cross-posting!

Hello Dudley, I had much the same problem. I went to the JC Public Library, and found my family in the JC Directories. My GGM showed up as a widow in the 1879-80 Directory. That gave me a time for my GGF's death. The 1892-93 Directory had my GF's Brother's wife listed as widow also. I then went to the Trenton Archives and found the DCs, which usually tell you where the person is buried. If you go to the Cemetery, you can then find out if any other family members are buried there. You can also check the Censuses, especially 1900, which has a lot of useful info. If you find his DC, perhaps a death notice was in a paper. Never say die in this hobby.

Looking for my father Frank Keough in and around Jersey City, Union City, West N.Y., West Hoboken & North Bergen. Mother divorced father when I was abt 3 yrs old. He had a sister Agnes Keough (never married), and a sister married to a Dal Pozzo living on 7th St, Union City. Also a brother James Keough. In 1944 Father was working on the docks west side of Hudson River. Before the divorce my mother was Elsie Keough, nee Kristen. I run into a stone wall every where I look. I am living in Texas so things are not readily available. Father was born abt 1903, died abt 1950.
