Does anyone have access to a 1938 Bayonne High School Yearbook? I would like a photocopy of Rita Teague who graduated that year. Thank you, Chris Smith

Susan, I've noticed that those Directories (like phone books) mostly have years stated as 1892/1893, etc. They may have been published in an inexact manner as far as dates. That might account for the missing entry, for example you looked in a 1892/1893 the first time and in a 1893/1894 the second. The Jersey City Library has a pretty complete collection, I was there a few weeks ago.

Greetings! I know this has been addressed pretty recently, but at the time the subject was not of great importance to me. Now I find it very important! I have a copy of the "STATEMENT AND WAIVER OF FORMAL ACCOUNTING" for the probating of my GGGrandfather's estate. I would like to locate the will now but do not have the address to where I need to request this info. Would some kind soul pass the info along to me and I promise to make note of it and keep it for future reference this time!!! Thanks in advance. Lois

HI Everybody, I have a puzzle I need help with. I found an entry on Ancestry for the 1889-1890 Jersey City Directory that may be my guy. So I went to the Morristown Library yesterday to get the copy for myself. Lo and behold, it wasn't in the directory they have there on microfilm! Was there more than one directory for Jersey City in that year and if so, where would I find the other one? If not, what do I do now? Any suggestions appreciated. Susan

Help! I have, over the past 4 months, written 2 letters (with donation check) and called several times to Our Lady of Czestochowa in Harrison asking for information on my grandmother -- and have never received any answer. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? They are my last hope for a marriage date. Cathy

I think that during this period of time, there was some serious commuting across the Hudson. We have families that were back and forth regularly - less to move in those days, I guess. In any event - try to include the names you are researching in your queries - never lose a chance to advertise.....

Thanks! Yes, I found one on the 1860 census, but the copy was so bad I could not make out the address. The microfilm quality of that page is absolutely terrible! However, I do know the ward number (NYC is such a horribly big place), so I will work from there. Thanks, I will post any "tricks" I find on this roots web page!

You are in luck. The records of Holy Family in Union City have been microfilmed and the films can be rented from the Family History Center near you. The records are from 1857 - 1986 and include baptisms, marriages, deaths, Confirmations and Communions. The records are on two rolls of film 1468652 and 1468653. Regards, Gloria M.

Hello to all, How would I go about finding information on individuals that have been baptized at the Holy Family Church in Union Hill/Union City NJ back in the late 1800's? Is that church still active? Also what other type of information besides a copy of the baptism can one obtain? And what would I need to do to obtain it. Thanks to all for helping me get to this point so far. Theadora

Hi Tom, I have the same problem. Have you located your people in any census schedules yet? They should be enumerated in at least the 1855/65 NY State Census and/or the 1860 US Federal Census for NY. If you can get their addresses, you can start researching the churches in their local neighborhoods... If you come up with any tricks, can you let me know?

I just wanted to thank all of you who responded to my question yesterday. What a wonderful group you are! The general concensus was that these relatives were involved in leather working.

I have two people in my family research that were born in NYC in the 1850s, then the moved to Hudson county in the 1868s. I have written to NYC records to get their birth certificates, but I have gotten my request, both times, with the notation "not indexed". And, naturally, no birth certificate. I called them and asked what should I do, and they suggested I should go to the church records. Since I don't have the foggiest idea where they lived, or what church they would have attended, I am stuck. Anybody with any suggestions? Tom Novak
