This is a great post, Barbara, thanks. While I don't have any ancestors that I know of who were on or buried on Hart Island. My late mother-in-laws, first baby was born in Grasslands Hospital in White Plains and the baby died at birth and was buried there (1930ish). We went back there once to find his grave and there didn't seem to be many marked graves, let alone those of newborn babies. I know my mother in law was crushed when she saw it. Growing up in New Rochelle, it was a treat to go to City Island. We went there for a Friday dinner and then played some games in some of the places that had ski-ball and such. I wonder if it is still a tourist kind of place? > HART ISLAND---(Bronx County, NYC) in the Long Island Sound, near City > Island > The pictures on the site you sent are awesome in clarity and sentiment. Very touching and they reminded me of the last time I visited Grasslands. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

HART ISLAND---(Bronx County, NYC) in the Long Island Sound, near City Island Although Hart Island presently functions again as a "potters' field"-cemetery for NYC residents who received a "city burial," simultaneously it is homebase of a NYC prison population. The inmates maintain the cemetery and perform burials. Due to the presence of the NYC Corrections Department ince the 1970s, families were historically denied access to visit the graves of loved ones, including a large percentage of babies and children. Hart Island has worn various institutional hats and was designated as a burial site on April 20, 1869. Its hospital quarantined yellow fever victims of the 1870s, and later those with tuberculosis. It's reformatory held 2000 delinquent boys. It housed a women's lunatic asylum. Its 101 acres were utilized as a military training ground and cemetery for Civil War soldiers, as well as POW camp, and Cold War Nike missile site. Hart Island has its troubles. Specifically, its lack of consistent, viable death records. As with other city burials, Hart Island's interred include the indigent, those unclaimed at the city morgue, and some who remain unidentified. Some records were lost in a fire there, others left to decay in abandoned buildings. Thus, there is no perfect matching of interred with death records. With over 800,000 interred, the surviving records were sent to the NYC Municipal Archives at 31 Chambers Street. This dilemma motivated Melinda Hunt to begin "The Potters Field Project." (See the video of a recent NYC news report at: http://hartisland.net/ ) Thanks to her persistence and cooperation of NYC municipal agencies, she recently obtained death records through Freedom of Information requests. More recent interments are those of NYC babies and children. On the homepage, Ms. Hunt would like to hear from families of "stillborn babies, infants or children under five who died in New York City between January 1989 and March 1990." Although the NYC Department of Corrections now allows prearranged visits from families who prove a relative's burial there, often mass graves, the absence of definitive burial records makes locating a family member unreliable. While going to Hart Island is an improvement, families must be processed through the prison system to go to a gravesite. If you have a missing family member, who possibly belonged to a group living at Hart Island, this may be the place to register and search: http://hartisland.net/ Please pass this on to other genie sits of interest.

I am happy to say the 4th ward of this census is now online on the Troy section of my website. This ward had 3,160 individuals living in 644 families and in 391 dwellings. The first four wards has 18,925 individuals living in 1,700 dwellings and in 2,578 families. When the census is completed (10 ward), it will be fully indexed for easy searching. The people to thank for giving up their time to help others to transcribe this ward are: Kay Brearton, Terry Bora, Lynn Grice, Sharon King, Bob McConihe, Gary Craver, Earl Smith and Amy LaPietra. We are currently working in the 6th ward. The 5th ward is all assigned. If you would like to help with this project, please contact me off the list. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

I think I may have found the family, Pat but extremely hard to read. This is what I could make out: Chicago, Ward 12, District 575 3030? 16th Street Barrett, James, 53 b PA Barrett, ??, 45? b IL children all b IL: Mary E 15, ??son 12, James Jr 11, William 9, Henry 8, Catherine 6, John F 4?; also in family group: Mary T niece 19, Henry brother 49. If these are yours, I can save the census page and send it to you The son that I can't read his first name doesn't look like Walter but I really can't be sure.

Hi Pat. I can find no trace of Loretta in Chicago in 1910. However, there is a Loretta Barrett (born PA) in NYC with two young sons, Walter, 7 & William, 6. She's listed as Head of House...no husband. If you want to take a look I can send it to you.

While there are a number of volunteers busy transcribing the 1865 NYS census for Troy, I found out that it is online at the Family History Library site at: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;c=1491284;t=browsable;w=0 While this program is in experimental stage, it can be tricky navigating around the images. But, this is great. You can use the index we have online and go to the ward to see for yourself if it was transcribed correctly. Also, using the dwelling numbers and family numbers, you should be able to find the page fairly easily. These images can be printed and/or save to your computer. I tried to look for my Westchester County ancestors and see the county's census didn't survive, same with Manhattan. Guess those of use in the Rensselaer/Albany area are lucky. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
