Sheila, It was a link on someone's email.  But it had to do with  The Railroad Retirement Board in Wash DC.  Sorry I can't do better than that.  If you google Railroard Retirement Board  you will come up with stuff.  I had spoken to a man many years ago I think in the NJ RRRB.  If I could give him the name of the RR my great gpa was on I could have seen his records.  Unfortunately, I didn't know which one & there were quite a few in Jersey City back then in 1870-----'s on up.  My problem was his name was John KELLY.  Now if I went back in, which I may one of these days, I have his DOD, the RR line, I also have his son, Michael, 19, born Ireland in 1872,  who also worked on the rr & was killed falling under a train at 18, so that should sure be a clue which John KELLY I would think! One of these days. Good Luck Jeanine NJ ________________________________ From: "Sheilaploof1@aol.com" <Sheilaploof1@aol.com> To: ny-irish@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, February 9, 2010 9:46:29 PM Subject: Re: [NY-IRISH] Searching Railroad Records Janine, Would you be kind enough to tell where you were going through railroad  records,please?
