May I prevail on someone's good nature and spare time? I have a great grandmother and father who met when their families lived at 137 and 164 Lewis St. in 1840. It looks like it's near the Williamsburg Bridge anchorage between Grand and Broome on the Manhattan side. I don't know if any houses would still be standing, but if so I would love a photo of either one or both. It was a long time ago, so I realize I may be asking for too much. I'll pay for the film, developing and mailing, so you can take a roll of film 'on me' and just reserve the couple of shots I have asked for for myself. That's if they're not either parking or vacant lots..... Thank you in advance for your kindness. Jan Miller a New Yorker displaced to crazy California. jgrellim@sbcglobal.net Jan G. Miller jgrellim@sbcglobal.net

My memory could be faulty....it wouldn't be the first time...but in 1964 I was named to the League B-3 high school basketball all-star team by the Long Island Press. I went to an awards dinner somewhere in Bayshore. I am fairly certain it was just called "The Long Island Press" at that time. I don't recall there being a "Daily" in the title. But......da memory aint what it used to be!

Just received the latest issue of Readers Digest and in it is an article on Henry Bedell during the Civil War. Although it says he was from Vermont I thought I'd pass this on in case he's related to any of the Long Island Bedells. Ruth --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi, Chick, I remember the Press well too. It went out of business when I was in high school - didn't really appreciate it then ('cept for the comics), but I get a kick out of looking at old issues now and tend to get sidetracked easily. Anyway, I've been looking at the microfilms of the Long Island Daily Press at the Queens Borough Public Library - Long Island Division on Merrick Blvd. in Jamaica. Check them out here: <http://www.queenslibrary.org/central/longisland/> Georgi

In the 1880 census for Pennsylvania, I found the following information on my gggrandfather Anthony Brenner: Anthony BRENNER 41 "tannery worker" Louisa BRENNER 26 Caroline BRENNER 16 Blondina BRENNER 13 Jacob BRENNER 11 Frederick BRENNER 9 Anthony BRENNER 7 Barbary BRENNER 4 Joseph BRENNER 1 The information raises a significant question: Was Louisa the mother of Blondina (my great grandmother, aka Blanche)? Observing the ages, Louisa would have been only 10 when the oldest child was born, and 13 when my great grandmother was born. While this may not be totally impossible, it is at the very least unlikely! Also, all but the youngest child was born in NY. Unfortunately, I do not know where in NY, but my Ggrandmother raised a family on Long Island. I have been searching earlier census', but have not as yet been able to find Anthony and his family. I have also tried a NY directory with inconclusive results. I would really like to establish the true identity of my gggrandmother. Any suggestions?
