I am Edward Rickamer's Granddaughter and have been Looking for Relatives on this branch of my tree for well over 15 years now- In my quest I have found well over 200 hundred possible spellings for Rickamer (we always knew that wasn't the original spelling) Who know's how Rickemer was spelled before Martin, Edward's father, immigrated from germany My Mother is the sole survivor of the Rickamer family- Edward Joseph Rickamer and his wife Frances Wadsworth Rickamer owned and operated Rickamer's Jeweler's in Tupper Lake and LongLake Ny. Martin Rickamer and his wife Mary had three children George b.1908, Edward b.1911, Marie b.1915. George nor Edward had a son to carry on the family name- My brother was named after his grandfather to carry on the name- Edward Rickamer Hoover- He now uses Rickamer as his first name. As far as we can tell Martin immigrated alone- (I still have his steamer trunk he brought to Ny with him) possibly foolishly I still hold out hope that Martin didn't immigrate alone- The oral history is that he met his wife Mary Ryan on the ship?? According to the 1930 census Mary was born in Ireland. I have been told by my mother that the Rickamer family stoped speaking german- even in their home due to WWII. As far as we know there was Never any correspondence between Martin's family in germany after he came to Ny- BUT Edward had a friend named Setters, Buck and Margaret that owned a shipping company after Edward passed away they found a shipping manafest from the late 70's or early 80's for a ship named patricia rickamer, registered in Hamburg Germany. My mother's name is Patricia Rickamer born in 1945. When this info came to light I was a Junior in highschool who was in the german club (so I could go on a two week trip to Germany, Austria, and the Cech Republic- I have to tell you I learned more in those two weeks than in 4 years of high school) the instructor was the mother of a close friend so I wrote the family that owned the ship a letter and had the german instructor translate it for me, I sent it, but never heard back- by this time the family in Hamburg could have all been deceased. I have to wonder how if there was no communication from Ny back to Germany how this ship was named Patricia Rickamer????? When Edward was 17-18? He broke his hip while living in Binghampton- the story goes that the Dr that set his hip was drunk and set in incorrectly- and the had to re-break his hip and he was in a full body cast for the next 9months. Edward was told that he would never walk again, but his mother being a devout catholic stayed at his bedside day and night praying non stop for a miracle- Her prayers were answered Edward was not olny able to stand on his own, but he was able to walk, needless to say he walked with a severe limp. At some point shortly after his release from the hospital he decided to enter the preisthood. One night he and a friend snuck into the mess hall and swiped some left over chicken for a midnight snack- they were found out- my grandfather refused to "rat" out his friend and was thrown out (his friend told on him, and went on to become a preist) I found out after my Grandmother Frances passed away that she and my Grandfather Edward were never legally married because they were both catholic, Frances had been divorced- (her ex- Husbands name was Fairchild of NY) He had been married to a woman in Binghampton and had a child with her----------- Considering the ramifacations of the depressions - which I saw my grandfather relive with his alzhiemers- it's totaly possible in my mind that they could have seperated and went on with their lifes???? This is a great mystery to our family and one that gives us great hope. all of my mother's family is deceased- which has been extreemly hard on her- I can only imagine the joy in being able to tell her that I'd located her half brother or sister!! How can I trace the changes of the spelling of Rickamer<Rickemer< { I found a Martin Rickoner b. @ 1875 in Broome co in 1920 who immigrated from Ger} can I find out if this may be the same person. I realize that a majority of people were not able to read or write when they immigrated- therefore surnames were spelled as the sounded- even if they were able to sign their name didn't guarentee that would be the spelling- I've generated a list of over 200 possible spellings for rickamer, and now that I know the name has been changed atlease twice I need someone to point me in the right direction- other than the census where might I find this info? Is there a way that I can acess records to find out who owned and registered the ship "Patricia Rickamer" in Hamburg, Ger- {unfortunately the shipping manafest, the letter that I'd translated, and the owners address have all been misplaced :( } Where might I start looking for Edwards First wife +/- child??? i have not been able to locate any marriage or birth records Reserching: Beaver/Bieber/Bevier of PA Hoover of PA Crane of NY Fairchild of Ny Foley of Ny Mykel of NY Rickamer/ Rickemer of NY {Binghampton, Broome Co, NY>> Tupper Lake, Franklin Co., Ny} Skinner of NY Wadsworth of NY {Utica, Ithica, Cape Vincent} Genesee, Ny sharlene M.

Below is a draft letter from Matt Young regarding Bear Swamp and the Stat's sale of gass drilling leases Hello everyone, Dr. Steve Broyles(SUNY-Cort) and I have drafted a letter to ask for the removal of Bear Swamp from the oil and gas exploration proposal. The text of the letter is attached below. This situation is somewhat similar to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. No one knows for sure how much natural gas exists below the surface of Bear Swamp. The area is top rate as far as biological diversity and a large population depends on clean drinking water from Lake Skaneateles just to the north. The exploration will be short term, but the scars will remain for a long time. There will always be the capped wellhead and service roads to attend to the maintenance of the wellhead. I completely understand our modern day need for energy resources and I probably wouldn't put up a fight if the proposal were to include other state forests in the greater Cortland area. I have cross-country skied, hiked, and listen to birds at Bear Swamp. Last year, Matt took me on an orchid tour (see attached photo of Rose Pogonia) of the fen in the complex. The area is exceptional in its beauty and diversity. I honestly believe that Bear Swamp deserves a fight. I hope that you are willing to help fight for Bear Swamp. Please feel free to use the letter below to send to Mr. Gilchrist. You may help in one of three ways. First, you may send the letter to Mr. Gilchrist via email (dmnog@gw.dec.state.ny.us) or by U.S. Postal. Second, you may send your name and address to Matt (grosbeak@clarityconnect.com) or myself (broyles@cortland.edu) to be added to a list and presented next week at the public hearing (June 27, 5 to 10 p.m. or June 28, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Cortland Holiday Inn). Third, please consider writing a letter to the editor at a local or regional newspaper. Forward our letter to others who may be interested. At some point, I will post the letter on the internet. Lastly, if you're a president or leader of a club and feel comfortable sending the letter as head of that club, please do! Individual letters from clubs often carry more weight. Also, please feel free to tailor this letter to meet your local needs. If you want to add other sites or concerns feel free to do so - I know Oakley Corners and Potato Hill are two sites where there's some concerns mounting! Thank you for your help! Steve Broyles and Matt Young Mr. Charles Gilchrist Division of Mineral Resources 625 Broadway, 3rd Floor Albany, NY 12233-6500 Dear Mr. Gilchrist, We are writing to urge the New York Sate Department of Environmental Conservation not to lease 2,094.33 acres of Bear Swamp in the Town of Sempronius (Area Cayuga SRA #1) for oil and gas exploration. While we understand that the DEC is authorized (Environmental Conservation Law Article 23, Title 11) to lease state lands for exploration and development, we are strongly opposed to this action in Bear Swamp as these activities pose significantly threats and possible irrevocable damage to the unique ecology of the area. Please consider the following: Drinking Water Quality. The Bear Swamp complex is an important hydrological area adjacent to Skaneateles Lake. The clean, unfiltered water of Skaneateles Lake provides drinking water for a population of 250,000+ citizens in the greater Syracuse, New York, area. At present time, there are only seven unfiltered drinking water supplies in the entire country that support a city the size of Syracuse. Exploration of Bear Swamp poses significant environmental threats to Skaneateles Lake hydrology and water quality. First, the footprint of the drilling operation disturbs soil and can increase erosion into the wetlands and lake. Second, the ecological services of water purification by green zones may be altered or reduced by land disturbances. Third, not knowing what will be found below the surface, there could be the release of heavy metals or waste products that could be harmful to the water supply. A change in water quality will have significant negative impacts on the regio! nal economy by requiring tax-supported rigorous methods of drinking water remediation. Significant Recreational Use and Environmental Education. The Bear Swamp complex provides outstanding opportunities for recreational and environmental education. Bear Swamp is a popular area for fishing, hunting, snowmobiling, hiking, horse-back riding, cross-country skiing, bird watching, and nature exploration. The unique composition of the flora and fauna provide outstanding educational opportunities. Many classes at the following regional institutions (Cornell University, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, SUNY College at Cortland) have used Bear Swamp as an outdoor environmental classroom. The model of site use and restoration, as provided on the DEC website (http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/dmn/leasing/slprocess.html), will undeniably spoil the unique recreational and educational opportunities that an intact Bear Swamp provides. Avian Diversity Hot Spot. The Bear Swamp complex supports great habitat diversity that includes one of the largest swamps in Cayuga County, a NY state-listed critically imperiled rich shrub fen ecotype, and large diverse tracks of deciduous and mixed hardwood-deciduous forests. This recognized Audubon Important Bird Area supports at least 12 avian species (e.g., Cerulean Warbler, Northern Goshawk, Cooper's Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Northern Harriers, American Bittern, and Red-shouldered Hawk) that are on state and national conservation lists. Forest fragmentation, noise pollution, and increased human interactions pose significant threats to the breeding and nesting success to these birds of special concern. Unique and Rare Flora. The Bear Swamp complex flora includes 48 species of protected plants that includes four species of Trillium, 16 ferns, and 11 species of endemic orchids. In addition, one of the state's largest populations of Spreading Globeflower, a federally listed rare species, occupies the wetlands of Bear Swamp. Forest fragmentation poses significant threats to many of these plant species by removing substantial habitat, exposing the forest interior to more sunlight and wind, and by altering behavior and populations of important forest pollinators and seed dispersers. DEC Recognized Conservation Programs. The intact forests and unadulterated wetlands of Bear Swamp have received considerable attention for the unique beauty, biodiversity, and potential success of reintroductions of keystone species. In addition to Bear Swamp being part of the state's Open Space Conservation Program, it was also one of the state's focal areas for the reintroduction of river otters. Not only do river otters play an important ecological role in wetlands, but they add to biological and cultural diversity of central New York that is appreciated by all. We urge you to reconsider and remove Bear Swamp from the list of proposed lease sites for gas and oil exploration. Thousands of New York State citizens and tourist enjoy the scenic vistas and relaxing waterfalls of Bear Swamp and the Finger Lakes region. This unique area supports rich biodiversity, provides outstanding recreational and educational opportunities, and provides important ecological services by water purification to regional human populations. The ecological value of this intact land and the significant threats posed by exploration justify the use of the precautionary principle to preserve and protect Bear Swamp. Sincerely, Steve Broyles & Matt Young

Hi Chuck, I haven't come across anything yet. I thought that the LDS might have them on microfilm, but according to their online catalog they only have an "abstract" for Cayuga County for 1865 and nothing for 1875. I don't know if you've used your the local LDS Family History Center (I checked and there is one in Morehead City). If the LDS has a microfilm they can get it for you for a small fee in about 2 weeks after which you have up to 30 days to view it at their center. Next time I get a chance I'll try the 1865 to see how useful it might be. Does anyone else know?

To my knowledge, the total NYS census has not been indexed. And add to that the fact that when you look at the microfilms in Cooperstown and I assume any other place, many of them are almost unreadable. I would contact town historians or historical societies in the areas of interest because people in some areas have abstracted and indexed their particular county or town from the NYS census.

Hi Roger: Just returned from two weeks in Moravia. Hotter and more humid than here right now. Enjoyed it though. Do you know if the NYS census has ever been indexed and put on the internet? I am particularly interested in 1865 and 1875. I am participating in an YDNA study to help with my family history. it should be interesting.

If the LDS library has the state census that you need, they are usually very easy to read and they have the birth county for the people. They are very helpful but even they, don't have all of them for every year. marge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Phillips" <rphillips08@earthlink.net> To: <NY-CENTRA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 3:19 PM Subject: Re: [NYCENTRAL] NYS Census Availability by County > Hi Chuck, > > I haven't come across anything yet.
