Hi, Clare, There is a record of a James Higgins arriving in Boston in July of 1847 from Ireland, age 30. Have you checked census reports? Ann

Long last and with your support the Friends of Abandoned Cemeteries is pleased to announce: Saturday, October 17, 2009 Staten Island Marine Hospital/Quarantine (1799-1858) Memorial Service - Entombment - Reception Save the Date FREE EVENT - OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 10 AM Memorial Service Starts at: St. Peter's Catholic Church St. Marks Place, S.I.

Music by: ANDY COONEY & Band Staten Island's unique history includes a major quarantine station – Marine Hospital - that operated from 1799-1858. Countless immigrants of all nationalities, entered into New York Harbor only to be found with infectious disease, held in quarantine at the Marine Hospital on Staten Island, died and were buried in mass graves on the compound. During the mid 19th century immigration through New York was considerable. Although no complete listing survives from the Marine Hospital of inmates, Richmond County Mortality Schedule for a 6 month period from 1849-1850 shows that the majority of the 650 individuals listed were the victims of the Great Irish Hunger, other nationalities listed on the 1850's Mortality Schedule include, Germany, England, Holland, France, Switzerland, Scotland and of course New York City, America. The cemetery was largely obliterated in the 1950’s to make the current municipal parking lot. A few years ago during a recent State of New York construction project at the lot, a section of the original cemetery was found intact under the asphalt as well as finding substantial scattered human remains throughout the site. The majority of these were removed and are currently held at the archeologist lab in Brooklyn. We will bring them back to Staten Island on Saturday, October 17, 2009 where a proper entombment will be provided to them at long last. Please join us on Saturday, October 17, 2009 for this unique opportunity to honor our ancestors and provide them a long awaited proper & dignified entombment.

My great-grandfather, John Lynch, was a sewer worker in New York City. Tragically, he drowned in a sewer flood on August 26 in 1908. I obtained a copy of his death certificate from the NY Dept of Health in New York City. At the bottom, where it said cause of death was "submersion," it also said, "Inquest pending." I couldn't stay long enough at the Dept of Health to investigate this. Does anyone know how I can find results of the inquest? Should I go back to the Dept of Health, or look elsewhere? Thanks for any help. Clare Higgins
