Hi everyone, I am investigating a branch of my family that wound up in New York somehow. Yesterday I found them in 1850 Brooklyn Census, but something on the record really confused me. Three of the sons were listed as employed as something like "Morrocco Dressers". I couldn't be sure on the spelling of the first word (w?m? double r?) but the second word was definitely dresser. Anyone have any idea what kind of job this might be? They were between the ages of 16 and 22 and their father was listed as being a fisherman, if that helps. Anyone ever run into this before?? I sincerely appreciate any help you're able to offer, since I'm not subscribed to any New York lists. Besides, I know that you guys are the best! Thanks in advance.

First, I would like to thank all of you for your bits and pieces of information that is daily viewed via e-mail. It has meant alot to us. Second, whoever has been encouraging others to go to Ancestry.com to view their free data bases has to be personally thanked. Almost daily I faithfully go to download my e-mail from the NJHUDSON connection then I go to Ancestry.com to check out their databases. I stuck gold this morning. Ancestry.com had put up a free database named, Cincinnati, Ohio Directory, 1890-1891. This was important for me for the following reasons. On my great aunt's (Magdalena BAYER dob1884) baptismal certificate there is a Cincinnati, Ohio stamp on it. I also have a copy of her brother's, my grandfather's baptismal certificate(Albert BAYER dob 1891) born in Union City, NJ. The name of his sponcers at his baptism were a John & Anna FUCHS. I had no idea who the FUCHS were nor when my family had migrated to Union City, NJ. What the database revealed to me was a possible connection to the FUCHS surname. Possibly my great grandmother & grandfather's name, location and occupation in Ohio. Total of 41 BAYERS in the Cincinnati, Ohio directory at that time. I will now send for the 1890 Federal census for Ohio. Any other suggestions are gladly welcomed. Thanks again, Theadora (BAYER) GOONAN

I have an ED for an address in the 1920 Census would it be the same for the 1910 Census? I think they do but am not sure. Lucie

Yes, they will.

Hi Lucie, I thought you might not know. The 1910 Federal Census was never Soundexed. You have to find people by the address.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request. They{Calenzani(o)} are not in the 1920 Census. Lucie

Jane, Did you get the Park Avenue address from a Jersey City directory? The Jersey City directories include Hoboken. If you did, the H. after Park Avenue means Hoboken.

In the 1890s there was a street in Jersey city know as Park Avenue...not Park Street (that is all I can find today). Is it one and the same? I am looking for 313 Park Avenue H. What is at that location today. Jane in California

Hello..... For anyone who is interested -- I just found out that when Union Hill became Union City and street names and numbers changed, it affected West New York street numbers as well. A while ago, someone was looking for 18th street inWNY -- that street number is now 62nd street. It seems that they took the original street numbers and added 44 to them. Other towns were affected as well -- Weehawken and North Bergen -- but West New York is the only formula that I know. Best wishes Claire

Looking for info on the Devines from the lower Weehawken area. Attended St. Lawrence RC church. Frank worked for Erie Railroad and and Charles was Fireman at Firehouse #1. Thanks, Sally Devine Morgan Columbus, Georgia

Can anyone tell me if the NJ State Department of Health and Sr. Services will accept a personal check for a birth certificate. Thank you. HV

Would some kind person who is working with the 1910 Census please see if they can find my gr. grandfather and give me the details. I have had a most difficult time. Did find him in the 1920 Census. Thank you. Helen

Thanks to all who answered my query regarding Frederick H. Rogers. I know now that Arlington is part of Kearny. I've tried to answer all individually, but have been swamped with replys. Thanks so much to a great list!! Holly

Thank you Victoria. Just checked out the site and find it will help save on the phone bill since they all have an email address.

Good Morning, I am trying to locate any information on the following. Grace E. Baldwin Born around 1852 Died July 6, 1861 Bergen, NJ Grace was single and was a little over 19 years old at the time of her death. I do not know the connection with her to my Smith family, but she is buried in our family plot at Greenwood Cemetery, NY,. Any assistance would be appreciated. Maybe an obit notice would give some vital information. God Bless, Bonny in Tennessee

Could someone please lookup on the Soundex C-452 for 1910 and 1920? I am looking for some Calenzani(o)ancestors. Phillip (Filippo), Vincenzo and Emidio. Emidio in the 1915 Boyd directory was listed as M. Calenzani. Thanks, Lucie

I'd like to thank all who responded to my 1910 Census query. I tried to thank each as the replies came in , but may have missed someone. There has never been a time when a posted question went unanswered. You're a great group! Thanks again, Leslie
