The confusion may because you an extra "4" in the LDS film number. It should be 1324170. LDS film numbers should have 7 digits.

Need a favor for a friend, if sks is going to the NYC Municipal Archives next week, and would be good enough to re-check to verify a death certificate number to see if it was transcribed correctly to the IGG/GGG online index. Maria KONRAD, died 28 June, 1908/Brooklyn. The index has certificate #12492/FHL film 13244170, but LDS says that is NOT the name on certificate, so sent credit. Name and DOD is certainly correct, but index spells it KoMrad, rather than Konrad. LDS would not reject for this reason, so something else is remiss here. The only thing we can think is the certificate number is off. My friend needs this Cert. to verify parents names to tie into add'l info...it's her GGM. Please help if you can. Thanx.

Hello all, I want to know whether a marriage performed on a ship traveling from Liverpool to Boston in 1910 would be documented somewhere in the ship's records. I've never seen such a notation on a ship manifest, but I haven't been looking for one, either. PJ

The Slave Trade, published in St. Albans, VT. March 8 1860 The New York Times has a correspondent on board the United States sloop of war Portsmouth, who writes as follows from St. Paul de Loando, Dec. 20: "The few months experience we have had on the coast has not altogether been thrown away. It has thoroughly convinced us that the whole slave coast is, we may say, lined with slavers, who are generally from New York, cleared from the Custom House, bringing all the appliances of the trade with them, and maneuvering about on the coast, under various pretenses and disguises of legal traffic; particularly under that most specious blind - the obtaining palm oil - until the favorable moment having arrived, the cargo is shipped, and a few hours find them out of danger, on their way to the West Indies." The writer gives only three specific cases, however, in support of his sweeping assertion, and all of them have been already reported - the Travernier, the Bell and the Orion. Connected with these some additional facts, however, are given. The Travernier was captured by a British cruiser, the Viper and sent to St. Helena. When captured she had on board six hundred slaves. Most of them were from eight to sixteen years old; some were, women, all were naked. When visited by the officers of the Portsmouth, although the slaves were then in a better condition than when captured, some were dying and nearly all weresick. The writer states that when opthalmia broke out among the miserable Africans, every new case was thrown over-board, under the supposition that the disease is contagious.

This was forwarded from the Queens Co, NY email. Perhaps someone has this ancestor in their family for this doer of good deeds.

A family member has turned up a previously unknown trove of old photos.  One is of six young men with mandolins and guitars sitting in front of a banner that says "Grandinette Mandolin Club".  We'd like to identify the group.     The photo has a postcard back with a hand-written date July 18, 1917.  We don't recognize the faces, but we don't have alot from that era to compare with.  The family to whom the photos belonged lived in Brooklyn.  Family surnames were Cavagnaro and Glover.    I've searched for Grandinette Mandolin Club in various combinations via google, fultonhistory.com, Brooklyn newspapers, etc. with no success.  Does anyone have an idea of what Grandinette might refer to?   Or how/where else I might search?   Thank you,  Jeanne Torre

It's been a few months since I've accessed the Brooklyn Eagle website. I went on-line today and find I do get the proper response to my query but when I attempt to view an individual article the following sequence of events occurs : 1. A separate window opens and the computer attempts to retrieve the article. 2. Article is retrieved after an appropriate lapse of time. Then 3. 5 or 10 seconds later the article is replaced by a Google screen and the Brooklyn Eagle reverts back to the screen before my query. I LOWERED MY VIRUS DEFENSES BUT THIS HAS NO EFFECT Anyone experiencing anything similar ? Suggestions?

Hello lists, I wrote too soon in my original message on this topic. I've found a case in which at least some college students living in on-campus housing were enumerated at the college in the 1940 census. I did a page-by-page surname search on Ancestry of the two EDs for College Station, Texas, where the then Texas A&M College is located. ED 21-18 is titled " JUSTICE PRECINCT 7, COLLEGE STATION CITY, AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE OF TEXAS, AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL." It has 26 pages/images. page 16, line 59 reads: "Here begins the enumeration of the College Y.M.C.A. and ends the Dining Hall employees." The first entry on the YMCA list was designated "head" in the "relation to head" column. The remaining 23 entries were designated "partner." The individuals were all men, all faculty or staff, and predominantly single. page 17: duplicate of page 16 page 18, line 4 reads: "Here ends the enumeration of the Y.M.C.A. and begins the enumeration of Milner Hall and Students with no place of residence." The first entry on this list was designated "head" in the "relation to head" column, "manager" in the "occupation" column, and "dormitory" in the "industry" column. The remaining 12 entries were designated "partner." The individuals were all men and single. All but two of the 12 entries had nothing listed for occupation or industry. As an NYC-ROOTS lister posted recently, "partner" was defined this way in the 1940 instructions to enumerators (http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1940/complete-instructions.pdf): "451. If two or more persons who are not related by blood or marriage share a common dwelling unit as partners, write head for one and partner for the other or others." CONCLUSION: Although the 1940 enumerator instructions stated that college students were to be enumerated in their parents' homes, the instructions were not universally followed. So, if you are determined to find a person who was in college in April, 1940, it would be wise to look both at the person's parents' address and at the person's college address. PJ Texas

Hello list, I've just discovered this helpful link for searching the 1940 census: National Archives maps of enumeration districts. Go to: http://www.archives.gov/research/search/ In the Search Online Public Access box, insert a phrase like this and then click SEARCH: 1940 enumeration district map Brazos County, Texas I received two entries: 1940 Census Enumeration District Maps - Texas - Brazos County - ED 21-1 - ED 21-21,(a hot link) National Archives Identifier: 5839536 Creator(s): Department of Commerce.

For some localities (e.g., Kings County, New York) there was also an entry for the ED boundary descriptions. I haven't yet explored why these descriptions weren't listed for my Brazos County search.

I have a small metal badge that belonged to my Grandparents & likely dates from Ca. 1920-1930 (as a best guess. They lived in Cypress Hills / East new York area. It reads "W.U.S.T.L. Brooklyn". Any suggestions of what the WUSTL might have been? Thanks!

Hello all, I was looking for my parents in the 1940 census. They were both attending college then and were living either in college dormitories or in sorority/fraternity houses. I did a page-by-page surname search of the entire town (Auburn, AL; 5 districts, excluding the CCC camp, which I did not look at; 227 images at Ancestry). One of the districts was solely for the university and was just one and part of another image long. Listed there were some faculty members and some house mothers or heads of hall for dormitories or fraternities, but no students. I could not find my parents anywhere in the town, and there were no concentrations of lodgers or boarders that might suggest on-campus or off-campus student housing. ## So, I explored what the enumeration rules were. Here's what I found for the 1940 CENSUS. http://www.census.gov/history/pdf/1940instructions.pdf page 24 of 88 "306. Persons to be counted as members of the household include the following: a. Members of the household temporarily absent at the time of the enumeration, either in foreign countries or elsewhere in the United States, on business or visiting. b. Members of the household attending schools or colleges located in other districts, except student nurses away from home and students in the Naval Academy at Annapolis, or in the Military Academy at West Point, or in any other training school or institution operated by the War or the Navy Departments or the United States Coast Guard. c. Members of the household who are in a hospital or a sanitarium but who are expected to return in a short period of time. d. Servants or other employees who live with the household or sleep in the same dwelling. e. Boarders or lodgers who sleep in the house. f. Members of the household enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). 307. In the great majority of cases the names of absent members will not be given to you by the persons furnishing the information, unless particular attention is called to them. Before finishing the enumeration of a household, therefore, you should ask the question "Are there any members of the household who are absent?" This is why I did not find my parents in their college town. My father was not listed at his parents' home in the 1940 census, so paragraph 307 is noteworthy. I haven't checked my mother's parental home yet. ## For future reference, the rule changed for the 1950 CENSUS. Here's what I came across: http://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/00322994ch02.pdf page 11 (I transcribed the text because it could be copied and pasted only as an image.) "Colleges For the 1950 Census of Population, college students were enumerated at the colleges rather than at their parental homes, as was the practice in previous censuses. This procedure brough tthe enumeration of college students under the general census rule which prescribes that each person should be enumerated a this usual place of residence. Most students live in college communities for as much as nine months of the year, so the college is their usual place of residence. The 1950 rule for the enumeration of college students was adopted not only because it was in accord with the "usual place of residence rule," but also because the Bureau expected the procedure to result in a more complete enumeration of college students. Such persons were often overlooked in the enumeration of their parental homes. In planning for this revised enumeration procedure, the Bureau mailed questionnaires to all large educational institutions early in 1948. It asked for information concerning the location and size of the institution, the number of students housed in college dormitories, and the location of these facilities. This survey disclosed that many of the students do not live on the college campus; therefore, educational institutions were not set up as separate enumeration districts. The information on the questionnaire was used, however, to help measure the workload for each enumeration district." ## PJ Texas

Looking for help in locating Black Oak, New York, and where I might be lucky enough to find birth records. I am searching for the parents of Agnes E Wallace, listed in 1875 marriage to Marshall Hitchings as 26 years old and born in Black Oak, NY., so probably born about 1849. Marriage took place in Saginaw Michigan, but the parents' names are not recorded. Thanks for any help Nancy Sent from my iPad
