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
