My sister went to St. Michaels grad. 1939. She said St. Michaels became a fancy apartment at the time. He son put his name on the waiting list which my sister living in Wychoff said was funy for all the years she wanted to get out of Jersey City. We mvoved my mother out of Montgomery street in 1958 and the area was not so hot. I attened Ferris High original building near Henderson St. grad. 1947. You can say we are old timers. Moved out of JC (St. Bridget's) in 1950. Moved to MO and raised 5 boys. It was a great place to raise a family but now in AZ for the past 20 years. Do go back to NJ for FTM research every few years. My ggfather was born in Morristown 1832. So you see were are Jersey Girls.
