Folks, a wonderful old church on the Lower East Side of Manhattan is in danger of being torn down. This church was a veritable haven for Irish immigrants who escaped the famine in Ireland. Check out the link below, and get out your pens and paper, if you can't go to the march on such short notice. Save Saint Brigid's!!!

Searching only on the surname spelled Schnellbach, no first names, there was a Walter Schnellbach who married in the Bronx on June 22, 1913. The certificate number was 1292. Perhaps this is this your grandfather? The certificate should confirm it for you.

Faith Gardner posted the following at http://genforum.genealogy.com/ny/bronx I have two copies of "The Bronx of the Innocent Years, 1890-1925". This is part of the series published by The Bronx Historical Society. I would be happy to send one of these to the first person who answers this! To respond to Faith Gardner, please go to: http://genforum.genealogy.com/ny/bronx/messages/660.html I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Walter Greenspan

The New York City Grooms Index is now available on the Internet, free, thanks to volunteers like you. The Groom Index covers the following: All boroughs 1908 to 1931 Brooklyn 1895 to 1897 Manhattan 1895 to 1936 This and other databases are available at the Italian Genealogical Group's website. www.italiangen.org We have been working on another important database, The Federal Court's Eastern District Naturalizations. This will cover Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. We could use your help to complete this project and get it up on the Internet. It is only with your help that these databases can be completed. So far you have helped put over 5,000,000, that's five million, entries on our website. Nobody in all of genealogy has been able to match this record. And we will soon be putting the Bride's Index up. Maybe within six months that database will be completed. We can't leave this to someone else. We have to do it! If you want to help, please get in touch with me at: [email protected]
