Surnames: WINNERS WINNES Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zQB.2ACE/1839 Message Board Post: Hello, Emma WINNERS was baptized 24 May 1874 at St. Mary's Cath. Church in Newark NJ. The birth date shown in the parish baptismal register is 9 Apr 1874. The parents are William WINNERS and Sarah SIGFRIED, whose residence was Perth Amboy. An elder sister Theresia was born in Newark and baptized at St. Mary's, both on 29 Apr 1870. The father is very likely identical with John William WINNES [no R] born 14 Oct 1845 in Newark. The mother is supposed to be from Easton PA. Can anyone help with this WINNERS or WINNES family in Perth Amboy ca. 1870-80? A search of the on-line 1880 census was negative. Thanks very much.

Surnames: Gulick, Bres, Snedecker Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zQB.2ACE/1549.4.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: In reading your information about the Gulicks note that there are Gulicks along the Route 27 corridor in Somerset and Middlesex Counites. These are Dutch Gulicks and a John Gulick had a tavern license petition just north of Kingston from 1784 to 1788 and a petition from 1791(no place). A petition for 1785 lists the tavern location as between Ten Mile Run and Kingston in South Brunswick. Signers on these various petitions include for John Gulick include Henry Gulick, Jacobus Snedeker, Joachem/Joacham Gulick, Henry Bres, Joacham. I have would like to know if John Hulick is the same as John Gulick? If I can help you in any way please let me know. I can send you my transcriptions of the above tavern license petitions. I do not have the ones for Gulicks in the Rhode Hall area. But I did copy most of the South Brunswick tavern license petitions from the NJ State Archives and transcribed them. I was searching for taverns and the names of local residents of the times. I have all the names I found on the petitions on a spreadsheet along with the tavern license petitions they signed. Although this list is for only a certain portion of the population it is still a fascinating source of local history. Speaking of the Rhode Hall area, I have recently learned that this area extended as far south as Ridge/Jamesburg Road, formerly labeled Rhode Hall Road on an 1876 map. In fact when this road also Route 522 in this area crosses the Cranbury-South River Road into Monroe Township it is still called Rhode Hall Road.

This is most likely the cemetery surrounding St James Episcopal Church on Woodbridge Ave in Edison. I have seen it referred to as White Church cemetery, Old Piscatawaytown Burial ground, Piscatawaytown Graveyard, and St James Church cemetery.

Hello Pat, I haven't found that any of them did, but know there can be lots of surprises as you search along <vbg>. My Gourley, Samuel, is in Erie County, PA by 1850 census. The NJ Gourley's, John, Mary and Sarah, were siblings. Mary never married. Sarah married William Brown. She has been the hardest for me to find. I've traced John's children through the 1930 census and social security records and haven't had any of the missing from where they were supposed to be.

Hello, I'm new, so, briefly...My name is Laura Anderson-Sweat, and I'm researching my mother's line which is the ZIERER family from the late 1880's to early 1920's, from Middlesex Co., NJ. Actually, this is my grandfather's line, and I never knew him personally because he died before I was born. The line I'm working goes back to when they immigrated, but I'm having a bit of a problem with who came when. I have the subscription to Ancestry's census records, but have only found some on the 1910 and 1920 records. And, I'd really like to find out where they were in 1900. Here's the family in a nutshell: Descendants of LORENZ ZIERER (many spelling variations) b. 7 Aug 1835 in Germany d. 20 Apr 1904 in New Brunswick, NJ. Wife, THERESA HUBER, b. abt. 1846 in Bayern or Bavaria, Germany. They had the following children: 1. HENRY ZIERER moved to Macon, GA, buried in Riverside Cem. in Macon, GA. 2. JOHN ZIERER died at age 11. Buried in St. Peter's Cem., New Brunswick, NJ. 3. THERESA ZIERER b. abt. 1869 (not sure) married to WILLIAM MAI (or MAY) b. abt. 1867, on 11 Nov 1890, in Amityville Long Island, NY. Both are buried in St. Peter's Cem. in New Brunswick, NJ. 4. FRANK X. ZIERER b. abt. 1870, married ANNIE P. ? (last name unknown) b. abt. 1872. Both buried in St. Peter's Cem., New Brunswick, NJ. 5. ALBERT J. ZIERER b. bet. 1871-1873 and d. 29 May 1909, married ANNA KATHARINA ROTH b. 7 Jul 1883. Both buried in St. Peter's Cem. in New Brunswick, NJ. *Albert J. Zierer is our line. 6. CRESCENTIA (GRACE) ZIERER b. 23 Sep 1876 married PETER MAY, SR. (half nephew of WILLIAM MAI). PETER was b. 27 Sep 1877, they married 1 Jun 1903 at the St. John the Baptist Church, New Brunswick, NJ. They both are buried in the Trinity Cem. in N. Aityville, NY. 7. LOUIS ZIERER b. abt. 1879, crushed to death in a trolley accident, he was a motorman for the Public Service Railway Co. and is bured in St. Peter's Cemetery, NJ. 8. MARY A. ZIERER b. 15 Jan 1883. She married PETER MAY, SR. after her sister died, in 1955 in Farmingdale, NY. She is also buried in the Trinity Cemetery in N. Amityville, NY. With ALBERT'S death in 1909, he left behind ANNA KATHARINA ROTH and two children: FRANCIS ZIERER, b. 1903 and her brother (my grandfather), WILLIAM ALBERT ZIERER b. 20 Dec 1905 d. 5 Mar 1957 in Perth Amboy, NJ. The 1910 census listed FRANCIS and WILLIAM living with an aunt and uncle (aka The GERKE'S), and probably before or after this staying at the ST. MARY'S ORPHAN HOME. Where did ANNA KATHARINA ROTH-ZIERER go?? And what caused ALBERT'S death?? Thanks, Laura Anderson-Sweat Savannah,GA

Hello, Am hoping that someone frequents the New Brunswick Free Public Library on a regular basis and is willing (for reimbursement) to look up and copy several obituaries. I have the full name and exact date of death for each person. The surname of interest is Gourley. If you are willing to help, please contact me off list. Thank you! Smiles, Barb

Dear Rooters, Does anyone know of a subscription service that would include in their holdings state census? I am particularly looking for the 1875 state census for Kansas. My relative rode the Orphan Train from NJ to Kansas around 1870 and would love to know where he lived in 1875. Thanks. Arlene Dunkum

I've looked at it inside and out several times since and it might be pretty once the features and plantings are added. I believe my old boss said it was named after the farmer's land that it was first added to. It was mostly local yokels buried there (those who had lived in the immediate vicinity) for a long time. Now I see up the hill, behind the little office, are many Asian folks buried (lots of white oblisks), so it may have had section rights bought by an area church congregation. I think you're relative is up in the front, on the hill coming in. The enterance is odd, you have to take the RIGHT side opening, even though you can't see it. The one on the left is out, ONE WAY, with the condo-mausoleum in the middle. If you want, I can look for your relative Francis, it should be in the old section. This is the holding com! pany's website. .http://www.memorialproperties.com/ Kindest regards, Christopher

In his will of 1803 Jonathan Combs Jr. (1748-1803) names a wife Catherine. LDS shows a marriage for him dated 3 June 1769 to Martha Davidson. Although the Presbyterian church (Cranbury) records have his baptism and burial, I cannot find a marriage for him there or in the state marriage records. Has anyone seen a marriage record for Jonathan? Or, any suggestions on where to look. In 1803 he was in East Windsor. Thanks Bev Nelson
