Hi Pat, The movie is titled "Brooklyn," and it's about an Irish immigrant girl who came to Brooklyn as a young woman in the 1950s.

I had trouble getting into the Testament of Mary but later tried reading Colm Toibin again and really enjoyed Nora Webster.  So I looked for other books by him and was puzzled that he would write Brooklyn.  (No, it has nothing to do with Eamon de Valera.) I loved the book.  Though it was set in the 1950s in my mind I was still able to transpose my grandmother, her sister and brother, who came to New York in 1906, into the story. At first reluctant to see it, I did very much appreciate the movie, in part because it gave me a very different visualization of my grandmother's immigrant experience than I had painted with the book. Neither were even close to my take on our family story, because I really never got a valid narrative of those 1906-World War I years for our family. In the mid 1940s, when my grandmother and Aunt Madge could have told me so much, what I heard was dramatic wailing about their brother, "My darling Jimmy," killed in the line of duty, NYPD (they claimed) and that their Black Biddy of a step-mother had been evil.  I had been able to use sacramental records, the ship passenger manifest, citizenship application, an insurance policy record  and 1910, 1915, 1920 and 1930 census as well as Griffith's, minutes of PLU Guardian meetings, a Limerick newspaper obituary records and other sources to pull together something of an accurate, although spotty, history of our family going back to the early 1820s, and even somewhat earlier. Having so many fragments of history but little narrative of humanity pulling them together, the book and the movie, closely tracking the same tale, helped me visualize multiple iterations of the same story and apply it to my own sense of place, another factor in this quest for self-identity.

Thank you, Sheila, and to those who responded and searched for a death notice or obituary. I volunteered to find Eva THOMPSON's burial since the descendant lives in MO. Eva is not interred at Hart Island; good suggestion though. Since she was a Catholic widow, then died in St. Vincent's Hospital, I only phoned Catholic cemeteries. Time to phone non-sectarian ones. Records were checked for THOMPSON and TOMPSON. Although she had family in MO, OH, and CAN, neither a death notice nor burial is there. She is not interred with NYC family either, or in the same cemeteries as family. Thanks everyone.

Excellent point, Heidi. But, then an undertaker should have been listed or a crematorium if no official burial occurred.. Can you imagine St. Vincent [Catholic] Hospital*, a "charity" hospital in Greenwich Village, going against Church law by allowing cremation, in 1910. Time for me to phone other cemeteries.. What would a death certificate state if a body was "donated" to science? I'm unsure if this practice was against the Church, too? Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com -----Original Message----- From: Iamhydee@aol.com Not every cremated remains were ever buried. Some remains were "scattered" in a favorite place. Other remains stayed with a surviving spouse or other family member and then buried with them. Many reasons for not finding a cemetery record, aren't there? Heidi

Upon his swearing in two years ago, Mayor Bill DeBlasio swore to kill the 150 year old NYC tradition of horse drawn carriages in Manhattan NYC.
