Or is it just the Losey clan? Sharon

I don't know about the water but whatever the cause for the twins, my ancestors from New Jersey must've brought it with them to Canada. My dad and his twin sister were one of three sets born to my grandparents.Their name was Dawdy. JDW

Is there something in the New Jersey water that causes all these twins?? Or is it just the Losey clan? Sharon

Hi ! My cousin (born in Sussex moved to California abt 1958) & his wife also had 2 sets of twins. Both boy\ girl twins. Maybe it is the water in Sussex. Phyllis

Sheryl, Funny you should ask today. I just read an obituary last night, which mentions the deceased was interred in the "Mackerly" cemetery. [1890] This individual is definitely buried in the "Lafayette" cemetery, in Lafayette, Frankford Twp., Sussex Co., NJ ...well, his tombstone is there, next to his wife's. I�m making an assumption he is buried there. This is the first time I have ever seen any reference to a Mackerly Cemetery. The Sussex County library [main branch] has an alphabetical listing for interments in the Lafayette Cemetery, but the listing does not have any dates. Leigh

Hi All found this while search through the Passaic County Historical Society Genealogy Club site, and thought it was interesting!!! to say the least. The Paterson Intelligencer 1827 Published every Wednesday May 23, 1827 Married on Saturday the 12th inst. by David I.

Does anyone know the location of "Mackerly" Cemetery in Sussex County? Is there an interment list for this burial ground? Thanks, Sheryl Gunderman Robinson

Hi, Folks.... I've added another two pages of Sussex County marriages, 1797-1802, to my web site. You can find these pages beginning at http://raub-and-more.com/sussexmarriages/sussexmarriages2.html. Jan Reuther http://RAUB-and-more.com

I have the listing of a marriage in Sussex County from Howard Case's "Sussex County NJ Marriages". How would I go about finding the actual marriage register listing, or marriage license for this marriage? Will it help me with parents' names? Is Oxford a town or a township? I can't find it. Thanks for any advice you can give me. Linda Portland, Oregon

Hi listers: The unusual "ns" entries in the "N"index for the Sussex County, 1850 census are to be explained as follows. The enumeratores used their own judgement in making entries, some were poor spellers; ie Easter for Esther, etc., and there were many variations; which, at times, were a puzzle for the transcriber (at least for me) re how to transcribe without confusing future readers of the transcription. In the case of Byram Township, the enumerator chose to leave lines 41 and 42 blank on most pages, for some unknown reason. I was afraid that if I left them blank on the transcription, the reader would not be sure whether or not I had inadvertantly omitted entries for these lines. Hence, I put in "ns" for "No Surname" and "n n" for "No Name". In the remarks field, I put "No entry on this line.", but, of course this would not show in the index. Then, when the computer indexed the names, all of these entries fell in the "N" listing because of the "ns" surname!! Sorry to have caused this confusion. Wil

Sincere thanks and appreciation to all those responsible for putting the 1850 census records on-line. Mona in Richmond, IN

Dear Jack, It's Aechtje Jans "van Naarden" which means she was from Naarden, Holland. I have a question mark in my records for her parents, which means that I was not satisfied with what I found. It has been a few years since I put away the Dutch research. Neeltje Swart b ca 1660/65, Fort Orange (Albany), N.Y. Dau Teunis "Cornelisse" Swart, b Holland, d 1668, Schenectady, N.Y. and Elizabeth (Lendt) van der Linden; her 2nd husband was Jacob Meese Vrooman; dau of Piete Danielse Olinda and Hilletje Cornelise Van Slyck; dau of Cornelius Antonissen Van Slyck and Ots-Toch-Hertell; dau of Jacques Hertell Sieur de la Fresniere and Mohawk princess; son of Nicolas Hertel and Jeanne Miriot; he was interpreter for Champlaine. Teunis Swart was son of Jacob Hillekers and Aeltje Cornelis. All of this info. is in the New York Dutch records. Hope this helps. Jackie

Grant and Rosanna McDANIELS are my GG-grandparents. He was born about December 1860 in Pennsylvania and she about April 1856 in Pennsylvania. They married about 1883 and settled in Schickshinny, PA. I found a Grant in the 1870 Luzerne County, Pennsylvania census: John McDannels (age 60, born in NJ) - Susanah (age 51, born in NY) Grant (age 11, born in PA) Samantha (age 9, born in PA) Also listed in the same house, but as another family are: John McDanels (age 24, born in NJ) - Emiley (age 21, born in PA) I suspected John Sr, Susanah, and John Jr may be part of the large migration of McDaniels from Sussex County, NJ to Luzerne County, PA, so I looked in the Sussex County census for 1850 and found this family: John McDaniels (age 40, born in NJ) - Susanna McDaniels (age 36, born in NJ) Joseph (age 12, born in NJ) Elenor (age 8, born in NJ) Daniel (age 5, born in NJ) John (age 3, born in NJ) Does anyone have info on John, Susanna, or their children ?
