Thanks Pat, I have been waiting exactly 10 weeks for Maggie's death cert from Alameda Co. There are horibly slow, but I hope everyday the mail will bring it. I don't know what info it will hold, I hope a few things like exact bday (I only know Oct 1875), location of birth, mother's maiden name, I don't ask for too much do I ahah? As far as her marriage cert is, I don't know when or where exactly she married. I only have an appox date of 1891 from census records and that it was probably in CA, likely Alameda Co because that was where her family was before and where she died. Her husband is another mystery, one of those where they didn't get along, but didn't divorce, she just wasn't burried next to him in the cemetery. I know his name but no dates on him...Louis Costa, a nice common name that gets a million hits. I have attempted to lookup Giovanni in the 1870 NY census. I have ancestry.com but their 1870 is just images, not indexed so since I have no idea where he could have been, it is slow going. Do you know if 1870 census is indexed anywhere? How about if there was a certain location of Italians in NYC? Thanks again!

You can join the NY-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L or D-request@rootsweb The Italian section would have been "Little Italy" believe lower east side of Manhattan. Hope this helps.

The 1870 Index is available through Geneology.com. You can see if you get a name match with their free lookup, but you won't be able to find the page reference without a subscription. Now that MyFamily.com (owners of Ancestry.com and Rootsweb) has purchased Geneology.com I am curious as to how much will be included in the annual Census subscription and of course how much more it will cost. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Corney" <bluroc@worldnet.att.net> To: <NY-HUDSONRV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 19, 2003 3:04 PM Subject: Re: [HudsonRV] Magdelena Casazza b Oct 1875 in NY > You can join the NY-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L or D-request@rootsweb > > The Italian section would have been "Little Italy" believe lower east side of Manhattan. > > Hope this helps. > > Patricia Corney, BHCD > Quakertown, PA USA > bluroc@worldnet.att.net > > Email scanned in and out by Norton 2003 > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Stephanie Lehman > To: NY-HUDSONRV-L@rootsweb.com > Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2003 5:05 PM > Subject: Re: [HudsonRV] Magdelena Casazza b Oct 1875 in NY > > > Thanks Pat, > I have been waiting exactly 10 weeks for Maggie's death cert from > Alameda Co.
