Hello everyone. Why would my grandfather have obtained his naturalization records in Philadelphia if he lived in NJ all his life - except of course- when he came from Poland? Why wouldn't he obtained them from NJ? Thanks in advance.

I have family tree software resources- many different volumes - and I would be interested in sharing/swapping information through aol messenger. Is anyone else interested? Robin

Is anyone out there within driving distance to Laurel Grove Cemetery? If you have a digital camera - would you mind taking 3 pictures for me? You can always erase over them, too. I went there myself - couldn't find this one grave site - but someone else located it and said it was there. Unfortunately - this person is back in California. Would anyone be willing to look and take pics of 3 grave sites - 2 of which are fairly easy to find - I have location information for all three I believe. Thanks in advance! Robin

Okay, I thought the list was not to be used for "selling" your wares, and soliciting business. The recent "offer" to do Census work is actually a solicitation to lookup for a fee...if we all bombarded the lists with solicitations, then the lists would surely be in trouble. Plying ones trade in this forum, especially a forum that we have had to subscribe to, amounts to the placing of JUNK MAIL leaflets into our personal mail. Sorry to be so harsh, but this is not right. There are websites that people can ADVERTISE their trades, without having to clog our lists.

Hi Kathy. Why hell? What did sort of problems did you encounter? Forewarned is forearmed. Also, what sort of information did you get on the papers (and what date was he naturalized?) In other words, was it worth all the trouble? Any other information would be much appreciated. Thanks for your response, Sandy

Hello everyone. I hope that someone can help me. I recently got the marriage certificate of my great-grandparents Garret Albert Smith who married Nellie Smith. They married in 1897 at which time Nellie was listed as living in Greensport (sp?) NJ. In the 1880 census Nellie was living in West Milford area. After the marriage they lived in both Bergen and Sussex counties. Does anyone know where this town might be. They were married by the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Hamburg which most likely was her religion as Garret was Dutch Reform and my grandmother and her two brothers were all christened in the Wyckoff Dutch Reform Church. Thanks for your help. Peggy Whites Creek, TN

Would the person that post the notice she had the address to write to the Supreme Court for Naturalization papers please post it for everyone. Thanks Regina

Another interested party. Do you know how much the charge is for naturalization information? Thanks, Jean

Searching for your ancestors? I can search the 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 Federal Census records for *ANY* state, and provide you with the information. In addition to the family's place of residence, the following information will be provided for each family member: name, relationship, age, month and year of birth (1900 Census only), place of birth (state or country), and citizenship. Please reply by private e-mail for details. Thank you. K. O'Brien

For those looking for naturalization papers If you don't find them in Passaic you might try the state Archives in Trenton. I was just there and got a copy of my GG grandfathers 1865 naturalization paper. Unfortunately I did not have time to see if they had his declaration of intent and other records. There were lots of other records but it was closing time and I had to head home. They had an index for Essex County and I believe for every other county that had naturalizations. Just got the naturalization paper itself. Good luck, Peggy Whites Creek, TN

A big Mahalo to those who offered advice to my inquiry on the address for Naturalization Papers in Passaic. A few asked me to provide the address , so here it is (I hope) : Passaic County Clerk ; 77 Hamilton Street ; Paterson , NJ 07505-2018 Good luck , Kevin

I bought a box of old photos at a garage sale. Among them are two 9X13" prints of a group of people dressed in sport jackets with the #15 on the breast pocket. It looks like a reunion. Were they from the class of 1915? Well dressed, prosperous looking people.. The same background is on both pictures. Different years. An embossed seal of the photographer is on the prints.

I have a photo of a very distinguished gentleman standing by a horse drawn carriage. I don't know who the man is. It was taken in Passaic in front of 2 stores; "Rowland & Shafto Real Estate" and "A. Kuenstler, Jeweler". I have no use for this picture and if anyone researching families by those names would like it, I'll be glad to let you have it for the cost of shipping it. Carole Bolard
