Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JRB.2ACE/1493 Message Board Post: My ancestors came to the US in the middle 1860 and settled in Morrisania - the predecessor of the Bronx. At the time it was part of Westchester County - if my history lesson is correct. They married in between 1865-1868 and are listed in the 1870 Census (August 13, 1870) with a 2-year old daughter. I have contacted DORIS, NYC without success. Question 1 - Where would I possibly find a marriage license and birth certificate? In 1880 Census (June 8, 1880) they are at 149th Street in NYC. There are 5 children listed ranging from 3-11 years old. I have contacted DORIS, NYC without success. Question 2 -- Where would I get birth certificates for the children. Two additional children were born before the father passed away in 1884. I have the death certificate from DORIS, NYC - but there are not birth records recorded at DORIS, NYC for my ancestors. Question 3 -- Any additional suggestions for locating birth records? Question 4 -- Where could I access (or get the information) for the State Census Reports for the half-decade? (i.e. 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, etc.) Question 5 -- I understand that most of the 1890 Federal Census was redone - but it is not on the internet. Where can I check the 1890 Police Census for a possible address from the City Directory? Question 6 -- I have information about a possible Naturalization Record. Where can I get a copy of the actual record to see if the information matches what I know about my ancestors? Is it true - when the husband was naturalized, his wife automatically became naturalized? All children for this marriage were born in Morrisania between 1868 and 1883. Thank you for your help -- please email me off list -- [email protected] -- if you can assist me.
