Have you checked for a newspaper account? Or, at least an obituary that would nail down the exact date of death? Use the Easton Express web site to search for the date of an obit, then write to them for a copy. http://www.eastonpl.org/obituary_index.htm I think in that time period, it might not have been reported as a suicide in the newspaper (by contrast, I have an 1878 account that is luridly detailed for one guy in my database who hung himself in his barn on Christmas eve) Once you have a date, you could write to Trenton for a death certificate. Ordinarily they cover up the "cause of death" if it's something like suicide, but in one case I "lucked" out where they didn't and I found that another person - in the same time period as you're searching - walked in front of a train. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack O'Connor" <seanroconnor@hotmail.com> To: <NJWARREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 5:54 PM Subject: [NJWARREN] A mystery to me > > Julius Kielawa committed suicide in his sisters (Marianna Kielawa > Woroniec) home around 1948 - 1952 in Alpha, NJ and was buired in the > Potters Field which may now be a housing development. > > Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can untangle this mess? > > Help is desperatley need!! > > Thanks > > Jack > > > > ==== NJWARREN Mailing List ==== > You can contact the listowner at: Judy@BirdGenealogy.org > > ============================== > Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records. > New content added every business day.
