On 2/10/04 (10:33:21 AM MST), in a posting to NYC-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com, ????? (RHARTLE1@PCLNET.NET) asked, "My Gfather worked for the LIRR between 1870 and the time he enlisted in the Army in 1877. Where would I send a request for his work records? His name was Robert Rinz and he was born in Queens County New York, Nov 30, 1856. I have his military records from 1877 until he passed away 1n 1910." The contact information for the LIRR: eMail form: http://mta-nyc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/mta_nyc.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/lirr/ I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
