Hello Sharon, Thanks for the help, but I really hope I can find someone who has a good understanding of the Lambert family in the 1700's in Hunterdon Co NJ. I need a Perkins Lambert, she is female, she married Johannes Brouwer in 1768 at NYC, they both stated they were from NYC. In looking at LAMBERT names, there are VERY early Lambert names in Essex CO, especially at ELIZABETHTOWN, also at Bergen Co NJ. So I am trying to find someone who knows each of those 3 locations, the Lambert ancestry, to see if I can find a Perkins Lambert, or at least a Male Lambert who may have been living in NYC as of 1768, when Perkins Lambert married there. My thought is, Perkins Lambert's roots are in NJ, and her family at some point moved from NJ to NYC, and she married there. Since her marriage license states she lives at NYC as of 1768. Since her first name is so Strange, for a girl, it must be an "old Family Name", probably some woman with a surname of PERKINS, married a LAMBERT man, and produced a Perkins Lambert. Perkins Lambert named her second son ROBERT, so she may have been the daughter of a Robert Lambert. Any help is appreciated, Best regards, Lilly Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sharon and Harry" <thistledewus@yahoo.com> To: <NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 10:51 PM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] Lambert > Lilly, I haven't researched the Lambert line so can't help you but I have a Kitchin cousin who married Tom Lambert and lived in Ringoes.

Lilly, My thought would be that Perkins is really her middle name. Maybe she was named for a (fictional) Mary Perkins and the family called her Perkins instead for some reason. So be receptive to that possibility. You might want to be looking for a girl with the middle initial of P. Back then parents named their children for people with their full name, like if you were going to name a child for me you would name her Anita Clayton Martin, Clayton being my married name.

I am interested if anyone has information on CATHERINE STACHE who was the mother of Jacob Starne Thomson on Nov 28, 1771. I am thinking she was in the Changewater/ Lebanon twsp area then. any leads would be appreciated. --- Sharon --- sksmith03@earthlink.net

Is there anyone working on the LAMBERT line in Hunterdon Co NJ? From a genealogy book on the Lambert lines in America, I find the following general information: 1638, 20 families sailed from Hull, England to Rowley, Mass. Francis Lambert was among them.

The Cornelius Williamson who married Stacia DeMott did not have a daughter Catherine. At that time here was more than one man by that name living in Hunterdon and/or Somerset County who might have had a daughter by that name. Marilyn Schmidt

The historical 'Rock Methodist Episcopal Church' is currently known as the Old Rocks Church. Located at 260 MOUNT AIRY--HARBOURTON RD., LAMBERTVILLE NJ 08530, the Rev Dave Errickson is the pastor and would probably be the best starting place to locate church records. You might want to write to the church at the above address, or call the church number (609) 397-2588. Hope this helps, Helen

Hi Kathy I don't know if any of these are actually the cemetery you are looking for, but the Genealogical Society of New Jersey has tombstone inscriptions from the following cemeteries all in West Amwell. You can see the whole list for Hunterdon County at www.gsnj.org and then click on the Cemetery Inventory link. Phillips Burial Ground Rock Methodist Episcopal Churchyard Rockefeller / Wikoff Burying Ground Stevenson Burying Ground The last two were published in the Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey. It may have been in volumes 10 and 17? I think that all four should be available for research in the Genealogical Society of New Jersey's collections at Rutgers University, Alexander Library.

Source URL: http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/ U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative Health care professionals have known for a long time that common diseases - heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - and even rare diseases - like hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia - can run in families. If one generation of a family has high blood pressure, it is not unusual for the next generation to have similarly high blood pressure. Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents, and other blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders to which you may be at risk and take action to keep you and your family healthy. To help focus attention on the importance of family health history, U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., in cooperation with other agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has launched a national public health campaign, called the U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative, to encourage all American families to learn more about their family health history. In addition to the Office of the Surgeon General, other HHS agencies involved in this project include the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). National Family History Day Surgeon General Carmona has declared Thanksgiving 2004 to be the first annual National Family History Day. Thanksgiving is the traditional start of the holiday season for most Americans. Whenever families gather, the Surgeon General encourages them to talk about, and to write down, the health problems that seem to run in their family. Learning about their family's health history may help ensure a longer future together. My Family Health Portrait Americans know that family history is important to health. A recent survey found that 96 percent of Americans believe that knowing their family history is important. Yet, the same survey found that only one-third of Americans have ever tried to gather and write down their family's health history. Because family health history is such a powerful screening tool, the Surgeon General has created a new computerized tool to help make it fun and easy for anyone to create a sophisticated portrait of their family's health. This new tool, called "My Family Health Portrait" can be downloaded [http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/download.html] for free and installed on your own computer. The tool will help you organize your family tree and help you identify common diseases that may run in your family. When you are finished, the tool will create and print out a graphical representation of your family's generations and the health disorders that may have moved from one generation to the next. That is a powerful tool for predicting any illnesses for which you should be checked. For information on other activities of the Office of the Surgeon General, please visit www.surgeongeneral.gov. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Michelle Tucker Chubenko
