I unfortunatly lost your name while looking at the street info you sent. I clicked on the arrow to look at other buildings and do not know why it all disappeard, however I was able to see the house at 83 Messrole, not sure that was where they lived but i do not it was an apt building. Thank you for your help.

Mary,    If you are getting rid of the old photos of unidentified folks, you may consider contacting the Brooklyn Historical Society to ask if they would accept the old photos on your father-in-law's behalf.  It would be a nice way to honor his memory and share the photos with others. Just an idea if the "digging" doesn't pan out.Catherine --- On Sat, 12/31/11, Mary D. Taffet <[email protected]> wrote: From: Mary D.

Hello all, My father-in-law passed away last week, and I am getting all of the old photos found in his home, especially if nobody knows who the people in the photo are. One of these photos is of a couple on what appears to be their wedding day, with the photo in a cardboard frame that shows "WILL ART STUDIO" at "6215 - 18th Ave." in "Brooklyn, N.Y." embossed on the cardboard holder. I figured if I could identify when this studio was in existence, it might help narrow down the timeframe for the photo a bit.

I have been trying to find information about Elizabeth Sandison born Aug 1873 in Manhattan her parents were Alexander and Elizabeth Armstrong Sandison. Her parents died when she was young and she was placed with other families to live. I do not think these were family members but foster parents. I have a birth certificate for her but can not find a marriage or death certificate. I have checked Family Search , Ancestry, Italian Database and Old Fulton Post Cards. Did find a death certificate for a younger sister at age two. Any help will be appreciated. Janet

Obit is shown in the 23 May 1912 NY Times. Shows her living at 119 Guernsey St. died on 20 May. I have not been able to find any burial place, even searched at Family Search and Ancestry. Wish I could be of more help but maybe the death date will give you more help.

Kim You could try either Calvary Cemetery or Cypress Hills. They both may not be able to help you without a year of death. I have found Cypress Hills staff to be very helpful and do have a person who researches old burials but I am not sure they would charge you for this lookup as it spans 10 years. I have found Calvary to be less helpful but last I knew they had catalogued all the "grave owners" into a data base. Again, without a more specific year of death, they may not be able to help you. Hope this helps.

I know she died between 1910 and 1920 and her last know address was Guernsey st in Brooklyn on the 1910 census. Im going to look online but thought the wonderful people on this list could name some other cemeteries where brooklyn people were buried. I know she immigrated in 1885 with her son. Her husband commit suicide in Denmark, so she was widowed when she came to the US. She had 2 sons, August and Hermann. I found Hermann living in Oyster Bay, Long Island on the 1930 census...Is Oyster Bay a hamlet of Hicksville?

I have searched in vain for any mention of death of my David Clarke in any NY papers I can find online (not just fultonhistory and Brooklyn Eagle but also Chronicling America); I have found some references to the John Clarke/Clark I believe was his father; he and/or his wife Rebecca had a dry goods shop/ fancy goods shop on Grand Street E.D. She is listed as the shop-keeper in city directories of the time (1860s) but when there was a fire and when there was a theft, John Clarke is named as the owner. Would it do me any good to write and request a search for a death certificate over several years? How expensive would that be? Lisa T

With the surname CLARK/E, you may need to check CLARK, CLARKE, CLERK, CLERKIN, CLARKIN. Barb [email protected] writes: > ound 2 other DC's who died age 40's and 60's.

Hi Lisa, I have a David CLARK/E in my family. Father born in Ireland;David born Manhattan NYC. There are 3 married CLARK/E brothers from County Cavan, all in the shoe business, all with children. I have to check just which family my David belongs to. David is not a common given name amoung Irish. Even if we are not connected, you know how the Irish named their children after sibs, parents, and aunts and uncles. So, they may be some distant connection. Do you have the DC for your David, or know his heritage?

I would try to find the date by searching the newpapers listed on the below site. http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html

Found on Itaian Genealogical Group--neither seem like the person you are looking for. Found 2 other DC's who died age 40's and 60's. So none sound like the person you are looking for.

A member of my CLARKE family appears in the 1860 census but not in 1870. My guess is he died before reaching adulthood, sometime in the 1860s, in Brooklyn. How can I find out?

"How to Create a Boolean Search" Before describing how to orchestrate such a search, please know that not every search engine accepts the Boolean method. Many researchers will be happy to know that Google.com does cooperate with it. Some newspapers' search engines don't identify their method as Boolean, but offer you drop down menu choices that utilize Boolean choices. Here's my best simplification, that I test drove. First of all, a Boolean search uses something called "operators," a lot like the old Ma Bell. Operators are simply key words which tell the search engine more, so that we eliminate unwanted results, or "hits." The primary, most universally used operator words are AND, OR and NOT, all expressed in CAPS as shown above. Example 1: I want to search for my Walter BURKE, not the Royal version better known as "Sir Walter Burke." This is an especially good example for sear ching newspapers, as hey, I want my ancestor not some well known English royal. Thus, the Boolean search term I would enter is: "Walter Burke NOT Sir Walter Burke" Google.com does accept Boolean searching. Example 2: on Google: The straight Vertical line, the “|” symbol, is treated as if it was an OR operator. Example: So entering : “New York” OR university OR college will bring up the same results as “New York"| university | college Personally, Ilove the book"Google Your Family Tree," as it includes such advice. Last point, if you are unsure how to phrase and punctuate your search term, for a search engine that accepts the Boolean method, try out your ideas on this line.
