Yes, I also do not understand "the Catholic Church does not keep death records" In Europe they have a separate book for records of deceased -- and this is the Catholic Church records. ----- Original Message ----- From: <AnnWicki@aol.com> To: <NJHUDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 9:15 PM Subject: Re: [NJHUDSON-L] Death records from St. Michaels Monastery..... > In a message dated 06/27/2000 8:49:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > LizHaren@aol.com writes: > > << Several months ago, I ordered the St. Michael's Monasatery records from > the > LDS, and found wonderful treasure!

In fact, I used to work at the LDS and I distinctly recall the head librarian (who actually knew what she was talking about and wasn't just a minder) saying that the Catholic church didn't keep those records. I grew up in the Catholic church and never do I recall those records ever being kept. It would be wonderful they did, what a bonus baby. Has anyone else had found death records at a Catholic Church?

I've found a number of Catholic Records on LDS film going back to the 1860's in Bayonne and Jersey City.

Several months ago, I ordered the St. Michael's Monasatery records from the LDS, and found wonderful treasure! However, the one thing that bothers me: there were only birth, marriage, and babtism records on those microfilms. Does anybody know if there were death records filmed by the LDS? Surely the church kept death records, also--shouldn't the LDS have filmed them too? Tom Novak Researching NOLAN, HEUSTON, CASEY, O'LAUGHLIN in Hudson County

Sounds like an awsome task, but I am sure, very it would be helpfun to many. Ann Victoria "By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class." Anne Morrow Linbergh

I have a list of churches from the 1910 city directory. Would it be helpful to type this up and put it on the Hudson web site for everyone to use. At some point, people could submit info stating when the churches not existing now were combined with other churches or what happened to them (and their records). What would be even better would be to have people let us know what records are available at each church now, or where the records are kept - if they still exist. -- Nancy Wilson brockden@bellatlantic.net http://people.atl.mediaone.net/bigo2000/ (Dixon Genealogy website)

I was able to locate some baptisms, some births and a death in the records of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Jersey City NJ for this period. My great-great-grandparents were from Germany.

Is there anyone who can tell me what military bases there were in the Hudson Co. area around 1920?

Claire suggested I check with Catholic Charities, and Patty mentioned St. Joseph Home for girls, near St. Peter's on York St., which is no longer there, as well as a Business Residence on 1st St. in Jersey City (she couldn't remember the name). Can anyone help me with: 1) How to contact Catholic Charities for info of family history nature. 2) How to find out if there are records anywhere from the St. Joseph Home for Girls. 3) What this Business Residence on 1st St. might have been.

My great grandmother Mignonnette (Nettie) Horton, maiden name Peacock (b 1864 TN - d 1 Apr 1889, Jersey City, bur. Arlington Cem.) Had my grandfather in 1881 while just a teen. The father, I assume her husband, Harry E. Horton had to have been at least 40 since family tradition has it that he fought in Civil War for the south. I have Mignonnette's ancestry down pretty good, but know nothing much about Harry. I traced a baptismal cert. from St. Peter's in Jersey City for my grandfather, Rufus Wiley Horton - which is how I discovered Harry's first name. Was surprised to see the Catholic baptism since Peacock ancestors, and Hortons since have been Methodist. Mignonnette's mother, Martha Davie Peacock, died in TN when she was only about 6, when her father, Dr. Rufus Wilie Peacock remarried Ann Martha (Norfleet) McCullough and moved to Jersey City in 1870, while Dr. Peacock attended NYU Medical School (1875 grad.), then set up practice. My elderly aunt seems to feel (whether remembers hearing or surmises, I don't know), that the Catholic element may have come in if Mignonnette had been put in a Catholic school for girls or convent (My aunt used the term for "incorregable" girls.) Does anyone know if there was such a place in Jersey City where girls were boarded. Harry Horton was apparently out of the picture almost immediately (died or left) - he's not buried at Arlington, where she and her father Dr. Peacock are buried. Mignonnette died at age 25, and my aunt remembers hearing that she was sent away with some illness, then brought back and died at Dr. Peacock's home. Any info to help trace Mignonnette's life and Harry appreciated.
