Mr Webster -Could you give me the address and phone number of the Association of Former residents of Goosetown - maybe they have a web site - I remember some of the gang altho I did not live in the area - my husband did --------Marie G

Anybody out there doing any research on or know of any information on any CONNERs in Hopewell, NJ? Maybe we could share information ? Thanx, Dan Daniel-san@dellnet.com

Goosetown is the area from Lincoln Avenue/Perry Street along the Assunpink Creek to East Trenton and up what is now the Freeway. There is an Old Goosetown Neighborhood Association of former and current residents. Charlie Webster roelallen@webtv.net wrote: > Would anyone remember what part of Trenton was called "goosetown"?

Would anyone remember what part of Trenton was called "goosetown"?

my ancestor [Nathaniel KIRBY] died intestate 1833, Monmouth co, NJ. based on my research to date, I've made the presumption that he died 'unexpectedly' as those who were ill had drawn up wills in one fashion or another. from wills & deed we know his grandfather was a carpenter; from a story about his widow removing to Illinois, she dreamed her sons would have a chance to be anything other than fishermen, out on the prairies. so, I'm beginning to wonder if my ancestor was a fisherman, hence his unforseen death [all sorts of potential scenarios pop in mind]. the author of the story mentioned, having lived in IL, spoke of her ancestor being from the 'coast' though I don't think of Upper Freehold twp as being a 'coastal town' per se. my question: is there any way to know/places to look? nothing from his inventory leads us to any sort of profession... what were common professions in 1833? how early did such a thing as a city directory exist [assuming it had more to do with telephones than anything]? will records be found as to taxation or anything else like that for the time period? I'm aware of 'colonial' papers & records; there are fabulous maps that help place people in the area later on [i.e., 1851 Lightfoot]. my missing time period --1790-1840--coincides with the census records that no longer exist [& other helpful things]. I'm looking for new rocks to turn over so I can grub for the worms I might find there. so far it is this method that has found the info I have to date, so it's not a 'bad' method, but I don't always know the best places to look for the rocks, from here in NC. thanks as always, to some great lists! ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^ kirbz@netmcr.com Kirby Heard in NC/US searching LUNAN and ANDERSON in SCT; JONES, MELL and HEARD in GA; KIRBY, GASTON and BRITTON in NJ

Looking for information on James YATES who owned a spice factory on W.State Street,in Trenton,Mercer County, NJ. in 1859. Does any one have him in their family line?-Cheryl

I have pretty much filled in what I need to in this line, but I have a real sticking point. I have my g-g-grandfather James S. Manners married to Eunice Eura Manners abt 1844 in Hopewell. Eunice is the daughter of John Schenck Manners and Penelope Van Princess Stout - that side is not a problem. I can find no indication as to who was the father of James S. Manners. There is a misc. event in the International Geneneaologial Index in 1816, but no parents are shown. From the dates, I suspect this is a birth or christening. My family tradition indicates that he was the son of Dr. John Manners (1786-1853) and Eliza Cooper, but Traditions of Hunterdon page 138 states the Dr. left no issue. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions? Thanks - Jeff DeMarco jmd@alumni.princeton.edu

I am looking for the family name of Hvasta in Mercer County - my grandmother's mother was a Hvasta before she married - are there any descendents of this name ---Marie G

[I have sent this message to Hubert directly, and to the Mercer rootsweb list.] Dear Hubert: I have looked on the US Social Security Death Index (SSDI) for you, and found no listings for either Felix or April Dollinger (using a Soundex search, which looks for spelling variations as well as the correct spelling). This was not surprising, considering that many people born in 1895 were no longer working before the Social Security (federal pension) benefits scheme was fully operational, and therefore would not have records under this search engine. Then I looked for Kenneth Dollinger in the SSDI. I found quite a few, but the birthdates didn't match up. I'll list some, but not all, of them so you can see what I'm talking about. Read the listings below by using these headings: Name, Birth, Death, Last Residence, Zip Code (Place Last Benefit Paid), Social Security Number, Place Issued KENNETH DOLLINGER 16 Jul 1925 03 Feb 1997 32960 (Vero Beach, Indian River, FL) (none specified) 128-22-8335 New York KENNETH DELLINGER 09 Jan 1923 Nov 1984 (not specified) (none specified) 154-05-5555 New Jersey KENNETH DOLLENGER 29 May 1925 23 Jul 1990 21228 (Catonsville, Baltimore, MD) (none specified) 219-12-9918 Maryland KENNETH DELLINGER 19 Sep 1920 Apr 1976 (not specified) (none specified) 540-14-3919 Oregon KENNETH DILLING 25 Dec 1920 26 Dec 1990 (not specified) (none specified) 076-16-3539 New York KENNETH DELONG 21 Apr 1920 Aug 1987 64735 (Clinton, Henry, MO) (none specified) 494-14-6492 Missouri Here is the URL if you would like to try it yourself: http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi Of course, with a birthyear of 1920, there is every chance that he is still alive. Here are the three addresses that I found when I searched the US telephone directories: Dollinger, Kenneth Cedar Glen Dr, Boca Raton, FL 33434 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dollinger, Kenneth H Stafford Cir, Clearwater, FL 34615 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dollinger, Kenneth J Wrenleigh Dr, Catonsville, MD 21228 Lots of people from New Jersey retire to Florida. You might want to try writing to each of them to find out whether they are your cousin. Again, the URL is: http://search.msn.com/mod_ext3.asp You have probably been told by now that Trenton is in Mercer County. Best wishes, and good luck! Mary Jo C.

Barbara, I forwarded this message to my uncle, who is the president of the Trenton German-American Club. I thought maybe he would have a suggestion or would know someone who had heard of this person. I'll let you know what I find.
