When my grandmother passed away they said my Aunt went to "The Hpuse of Good Shepherd". I think the streets were Herkimer St and Atlantic Ave. I don't know the other streets. Would it be in the 1940 census? Eliz

Jerry, Excellent! Thank you very much for telling me about this wonderful resource. I have my answers.

Your query caught my eye although I couldn't help with the specifics for that block.   >From about 1915 to the late 1940s my Italian grandparents (TORRE) owned 11 and 13 Middagh St on the north side in the last block before Columbia Hts; cross street (I think) Poplar. Each building was 4 stories, 4 floor-through apartments.  My grandparents lived on the ground floor of 13. That block was taken by the city when the BQE was built at which point they moved to rural NJ.  A fun book about the 1940-1941 eclectic occupants of 7 Middagh St, and the general neighborhood, is February House by Sherill Tippins.   Jeanne Torre

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me pin down the house/building numbers of the structures on Middagh Street, between Henry and Hicks. Here's why: From about 1914 through the mid-1920's, my Plunkett, Baldwin, Carey, and Flynn ancestors trickled in from Co. Dublin and found their first homes in several different apartment houses along that block. From stories I've been told, I have some house numbers for some of the buildings they lived in. I want to identify those first homes as accurately as possible. Unfortunately, Google maps/street view does not always assign correct house numbers. But I have used it to see pictures of all the structures on that block, and I've made this list of descriptions. I've assigned reference numbers to them to make specifying each one easier. If you can pin correct house numbers to any of the buildings, I'll be very grateful. STRUCTURES ON MIDDAGH ST., BROOKLYN NORTH side of street, Hicks St. to Henry St. N1 red brick Public School 8, at 37 Hicks (Am I correct in assuming that it doesn't have a Middagh St. #?) N2 Public School 8 playground, partially occupied by construction material at Google street view N3 3(?) stories, 4(?) windows wide, under construction at Google street view N4 tan frame, 4 stories, 3 windows wide, front roof overhang, said to be #57 by a Middagh St. resident N5 gray or pale blue frame, 4 stories, 4 windows wide, front roof overhang, said to be #59 N6 paved parking area N7 red brick, 4 stories, 3 windows wide, triangular front roof line, said to be #65 and old PS 8 N8 paved parking area N9 Google street view shows a construction site, may be #79 SOUTH side of street, Hicks St. to Henry St. S1 red brick, 4 stories, probably has a Hicks St. # S2 red brick garage S3 paved parking area S4 blue frame with white trim, basement + 2 floors, 3 windows wide S5 red brick, basement + 4 floors, 3 windows wide, front roof overhang S6 white brick, basement + 3 stories, 5 windows wide, #64, Church of the Assumption Rectory S7 tan brick, double entrance, basement + 5 stories, 6 windows wide, #70 according to door label S8 red brick & tan frame, 3 stories, 3 windows wide, may be #72 S9 Engine Co. 205 H&L 118, #74 and #76 according to building labels S10 modern tan brick, #78 according to door label Thank you very much for any correct identifications you can give me.

Hi Hope someone on list can assist me. I am trying to find a telephone number of a relative in Staten Island and I can find the address but telephone numbers can only be seen if you pay for that info. I have used whitepages.com. Am I doing something wrong? I used to be able to find telephone numbers online without any problems and now I seem to be going around in circles, you can find people and their address but no phone numbers. Hope someone can direct me. Thanks Marie

Thank you to all who further clarified how I could search for a particular newspaper AND a particular name at the same time on fultonhistory.com. Things are always so simple, once you know how to do something. Thanks to all those very smart and very helpful listers who shorten the learning curve for the rest of us...life would be more difficuly without you! Bless you!

For the Standard Union notice, the notice was dated 6 days(29 Sept) before he publication date (6 Oct), and publication was 54 days before resentation of the petition to the court (29 Nov).

Hi Madeline, Fultonhistory.com was such a wonderful find, that I couldn't wait to share it. Tom Tryniski is a one man band and updates every Sunday. But, diminishing hits is a frustrating experience. It's founder, Tom (address above) provides a link at top right of Fulton Postcards titled "FAQ Help Index." There, it directs you how to choose specific newspapers, but even the savvy have difficulty understanding the verbiage. If you want to highlight your "hit" phrase, FAQ is the place to install the tool. All those directions written in CAPS...WHOA...so distracting from the facts. Don't you wish Fulton had a tool so you can extract just the article you want? FYI, when included in an online post in the past, Tom's general recommendation was to use the Boolean search option, I assume due to OCR technical issues. Anyway, here's to Tom Tryniski and a fantastic website, that intrigues us all, but could use a bit o' tweaking.

Hello again guys: Want to thank everyone who responded privately and to the list re. my query regarding how to confine the hits I get on fultonhistory.com to The Brooklyn Daily Eagle. I've always used a boolean search for a specific name, but now I'm wondering if it is possible to use a 'double' boolean search and restrict the hits to a specific and AND a specific newspaper, knowing there is only one search box.??? I don't want to beat a dead horse, but if there IS a way, it would greatly save a lot of scrolling time. Thanks again. Madeline

As long-time listers may know, I am perpetually searching for my Great-Grandfather, John R. Avery, and I am wondering if anyone can help. I have, thanks to a lovely Brooklyn lister, got references to him living at 811 Eastern Parkway in the city directory for 1907. I also have some later years for him, all at the same address, including after 1910. I have also got a baptismal certificate for his second son which lists his name as John R. Avery. My Great Grandmother is living at 811 Eastern Parkway in the 1910 census with my grandfather, whose name is listed incorrectly as John Stanton AVERY born 1903(He always used Robert John Avery and the index to birth certificates on the Italiangen website lists him as Robert John Avery.) His brother, Clifford Avery, is listed as Benedict. Their mother is listed as a widow and head of household. Either the directory is wrong for the very latest years, or the census is wrong, because it is indeed the same address. I have checked the microfiche records of deaths reported in NYS outside of the city and not found a likely candidate. I have not found him on a birth, death, or marriage index at the Italiangen website. I have not found Sarah Quigley there either - she had a cousin close to her in age, and I have found the cousin, but they seem, as far as I can tell, to be two different people. I find numerous mentions of his wife as Sarah Avery, including in her mother's obit. Her mother was buried from the Eastern Parkway Address later in 1910. What I cannot find is any prior reference to John R. Avery in any census, in the Old Fulton Postcards, in any record on Family Search or ancestry or any place else. I have looked just for John Avery. He was older than my great-grandmother, who was born in 1872-1874 timeframe. To add confusion to the matter, the house was built in 1905 and does not appear on the 1905 census - there is what seems to be a blank block, which fits in well with a row of brownstones being built. On the 1905 census I do find what seems to be Sarah at home with her parents - however, the children are not with her, and both were born by then. Obviously I need the birth certificate, which I do not have in hand yet, and obviously a trip down to look at the records of who has owned that house might be useful, but what I am wondering today is whether some kind soul with access to any newspapers other than the Brooklyn Eagle, the NY Times, the Fulton Website, would be willing to do a search for me to see if the may is lying dead somewhere. Or alive somewhere. Or living in Oklahoma accused of bigamy - I am digging here, not judging, and whatever the answer is, I think that after a good 100 years we can all live with it. The family stories about him are a huge bundle of contradictions. For what they are worth, here is a short list: He was from Glasgow, Scotland. He was from a Long Island family, which family was in banking. His family objected to his marrying my Great Grandmother, because she was a "shanty Irish Catholic." No hint as to which of the three might have been considered the worst insult. He may have changed his name from something else to Avery because of his family. If he did, he probably changed it from something beginning with a B. (Why, oh Why, Great Grandpa, could you not have changed it from something with an X, which would have been so much easier to find? If you changed it. If, indeed, you were not an alien on vacation from the Mother ship the entire time...) He was an "older man" to my great grandmother. He owned stone yards in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, and died due to an injury in the one in Philadelphia (I have tried checking records in Philly, and no luck so far there. No idea how far out of the city a stone yard might have been.) To complicate matters, there were certainly not only quarries near Philadelphia, NY, but also plenty of Averys. And to further complicate matters, of the 9gazintabillion men named John Avery, at least half seem to have had wives named Sarah. And, most recently, my mother informs me my grandfather said he was 'Scots-Irish." In what technical or non-technical sense of the term Grandpa may have meant it I have no idea. Thanking anyone who has even read this far, never mind bothered to look, I am constantly grateful for the things people do on this list and teh wealth of knowledge people pull from to help me when I post. Eternally grateful, Theresa

My apologies. Information in my post was incorrect. I was describing what I did at the www.fultonhistory.com site, NOT at the online Daily Eagle site. And my control+F finding term was Baldwin, NOT 1923. And, the database at the only Daily Eagle site I've found ends at 1902, NOT after then, as implied in my erroneous original post. Again, I apologize for my crossed wires. Pat ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [BKLYN] searching Daily Eagle archive results list From: [email protected] Date: Sun, April 22, 2012 4:31 pm To: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, I want to find a 1923 divorce notice in one of the Bklyn papers. At the online Eagle site, I entered "divorce" as my search term and hit "enter." When the long long list appeared, I left-clicked my pointer at the top of the list (on open space, not on the first entry), typed control+F (that's the "find" instruction in my system), entered "1923" in the find box, hit "go" or "enter," and it worked. I hope it works for you. Also, I saw that "Index" was one of the items on the results list. I went to that item and saw that it had the page numbers for what I think were all "personal notice" sections in that issue, and one of them was "divorce." I didn't find the specific divorce notice I want, so I'll have to resort to searching the 1923 Bklyn Standard Union films I ordered through ILL. Knowing to look for an issue's index as the first step should make finding the divorce-notice section easier for me as I search the films (assuming the Standard Union also published an index for each issue) Pat in Texas ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
