Last point, in terms of poulation, immigraion, building construction, politics, and on and on...there is a tremendous difference between 1860 and 1890.

Answer to Questions #2: Is it possible? Yes. "First ferry between Brooklyn and Manhattan - 1642, operated by Cornelius Dircksen, a row boat" "First steam ferry between Brooklyn and Manhattan - May 1814, Nassau of the Fulton Ferry Line...offering service between Fulton Street and Fulton Street." SOURCE: http://www.endex.com/gf/buildings/bbridge/bbridgefacts.htm The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1882. The Williamsburgh Bridge, from Williamsburgh to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, did not open until 1903. If you look at an early map they mayshow ferry lines bydashes across the East River.

Response to Question 1: They published Directories for each city separately. However, if the owner of a Manhattan based business had his business listed in the NYC Directory [prior to 1898], his home in Brooklyn might be noted in the NYC Directory...as might his home in NJ, or SI, Nyack, etc. ------------------------ TMcorner@aol.com writes: > 1.

Thank you to all that tried to answer my two questions. And for all the trouble you went too. I realize now that the way I wrote the note may have been confusing. I work nights and was a bit foggy. If I may try again, I would appreciate a little more help with this. So I will start over. Your input or thoughts, and suggestions will help me solved some 'puzzles' ... This is what I still need to know: 1. What I need to know is whether the "John F. Trow Company" put out publications for only Manhattan, -or- did they -- combined the two cities of Manhattan and Brooklyn (since they were only separated by a river)? 2. How likely would it be for someone living in Williamsburgh (which was part of Brooklyn during the 1860's-1890's ) to have possibly worked over in Manhattan? I have seen in looking at the census records people that lived in NJ worked in Manhattan. Now, this is what I know to be true: 1. Williamsburgh was a part of Brooklyn during the years that were in question -- being 1860's, 1870's, 1880's and 1890's. 2. Brooklyn became a part of New York City in 1898. 3. Brooklyn had at least two Companies that published directories (Boyd's and Lain's). 4. I have knowledge of part of the geography of the area by studying maps of the time period in question (1860's-1890's). Thank you for your help and understanding, I will await another kind reply.

Hi I have submitted our surname FLEURY to this site (below) several times and it has never been added. There is quite a bit of documentation on the web that shows this is a variation of Furey yet it has never been added to the list and I am not sure why. Other derivatives are Flury, Fury, & Flory Reportedly the name has it's roots in Longford. Our DNA goes back to Niall of the nine hostages. There are other Fleury's in Ireland, who were Huguenots . Is there something I am missing here??? Thanks Joyce In a message dated 11/12/2008 9:43:48 P.M.

Shelley, I suggest you post to the Reid list also. If you do not get a bonafide relative, consider donating the photograph to the Brooklyn Historical Society. Here is information about donating items. http://www.brooklynhistory.org/library/donation.html Although many institutions will not take single portraits unconnected with other information or papers, its being taken at the Dana studio may make a difference. Edward Carey Dana, the photographer, was a first cousin of my great grandmother, and I have seen his photographs listed as being at many institutions around the country. Just make sure any "relatives" prove they are connected in some way as people sell old photos on line and at flea markets all the time. >Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:21:49 -0800 From: "Shelley Cardiel" <cardiels@comcast.net> Subject: [BKLYN] REID Family Photograph To: NYBROOKLYN@rootsweb.com I've "rescued" an old photograph of Samuel L. REID which was taken at the Dana Studio in Brooklyn, New York. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Samuel likely in his 40's at the time it was taken. I'm hoping to locate someone from his family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of his family. If you are a member of his family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley< Elizabeth W. Knowlton
Hi Henry, The City of Brooklyn did not become part of New York City until January 1, 1898; and, even after that date, was never part of the "New York, NY" postal zone. Also, the City of Williamsburgh did not become part of the City of Brooklyn until 1854. Today, NYC includes 5 boroughs (administrative districts of New York City) that are coterminous with 5 counties (political sub-divisions of New York State); and, simultaneously, NYC is also coterminous with 7+ postal cities. But, this wasn't always the case ... Downstate New York State has its own special geography ... where things can be a bit confusing to outsiders as well as to long time residents, and for a full explanation of the idiosyncrasies of the geography and governmental organization of New York City, read on: Beginning on November 1, 1683, the day when the Province of New York created the original 12 counties (Albany, Cornwall, Dukes, Dutchess, Kings, New York, Orange, Queens, Richmond, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester), the City and County of New York included only the Island of Manhattan (and a few small islands in the East River). The first change doesn't come until almost 200 years later, when, in 1873, the City and County of New York annexed the "western" Bronx (all or parts of the Town of Kingsbridge, the Town of West Farms and the Town of Morrisania; or, in other words, the area west of the Bronx River and south of the City of Yonkers) from Westchester County. This annexed area was initially called the "Northern Annex". This was followed in 1895, when the City and County of New York annexed the "eastern" Bronx (most of the Town of Westchester and portions of the Town of Eastchester and the Town of Pelham) and in 1896, when City Island was annexed too, from the Town of Pelham in Westchester County as well. There is a small change on June 15, 1886 when the Lloyd's Neck peninsula is transferred from the Town of Oyster Bay, then in Queens County to the Town of Huntington, Suffolk County. The big change comes in 1898, when the City and County of New York, the City of Brooklyn/Kings County, Richmond County (Staten Island) and the western-quarter of Queens County (the City of Long Island City, the Towns of Newtown, Flushing and Jamaica and the Rockaway peninsula of the Town of Hempstead) are consolidated into the new New York City. On January 1, 1899, as the eastern three-quarters of Queens secede and form Nassau County, the Rockaway peninsula of the Town of Hempstead remains behind as part of Queens. Then in 1914, the Bronx County separates from New York County. (Thus, for 16 years, from 1898 to 1914, New York City was made up of 5 boroughs, but only 4 counties.) Simultaneous to these changes, in 1851, Kings County consists of 2 cities (Brooklyn and Williamsburgh) and 6 towns (Bushwick, Flatbush, Flatlands, Gravesend, New Lots and New Utrecht). In 1854, the City of Brooklyn annexes the City of Williamsburgh and the Town of Bushwick (these annexed areas are refererred to as the Eastern District); in 1886, the City of Brooklyn annexes the Town of New Lots; in 1894, the City of Brooklyn annexes the Towns of Flatbush, New Utrecht and Gravesend; and, in 1896, the City of Brooklyn annexes the Town of Flatlands and becomes coterminous with Kings County. Now, to make this even more complicated, the U.S. Postal Service has divided the City of New York into 7+ postal cities: New York (covers Manhattan and the Bronx), Staten Island, Brooklyn (covers most of Brooklyn and parts of northwest and southwest Queens), Long Island City (most of the original Town of Newtown in Queens), Flushing (includes all of the original Town of Flushing and parts of the Town of Newtown in Queens and also part of what was Town of Bushwick in Brooklyn), Jamaica (most of the original Town of Jamaica in Queens and a small area in what was the East New York section of the Town of New Lots in Brooklyn) and Far Rockaway (in Queens). (Additionally, a few small areas in the Bronx are serviced by post offices located in Westchester County and hence have "Westchester" mailing addresses, such as "Yonkers, NY", "Pelham Manor, NY", etc.) Lastly, but not last by any means, New York City is divided into 5 boroughs (city administrative districts) and each of these 5 boroughs are coterminous with one of the 5 vestigial counties (sub-divisions of New York State) as: ......Borough............County ......Manhattan.........New York ......Staten Island.....Richmond ......Brooklyn...........Kings ......the Bronx.........the Bronx ......Queens............Queens Note: Prior to 1975, the Borough of Staten Island was the Borough of Richmond. A more detailed geography of NYC follows my name. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY The following detailed geography was derived from information in an eMail sent by Nancy Coleman (ncroots@worldnet.att.net) to "NYC-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com" on January 17, 2000. The Bronx County/Borough the only part of NYC that is on the mainland, is a peninsula, north of Manhattan, separated from Manhattan Island by the Spuyten Duyvil Creek and the Harlem River. Also includes North Brother Island, South Brother Island, Riker's Island, City Island, Hart Island, and numerous other small islands in the Long Island Sound. It is bordered to its north by Westchester County. Kings County/Borough of Brooklyn is the westernmost part of Long Island and it is bordered on the northeast by Queens County/Borough and includes many sanctuary islands in Jamaica Bay, to its southeast. It is bordered to its south by the Rockaway Inlet, the Atlantic Ocean, Gravesend Bay, Lower NY Bay, and to its west, Upper New York Bay and the East River. New York County/Borough of Manhattan: is an island, bordered on the West by the Hudson (aka North) River, the east by the East River and the Harlem River, and on the north by the Spuyten Duyvil Creek and the Harlem River. Also includes Roosevelt Island, Governors Island, and Randalls/Wards Island, as well as Ellis and Liberty Islands. Queens County/Borough is on Long Island and includes the Rockaway Peninsula, and many islands within Jamaica Bay. Most of its islands are a part of the Gateway National Recreation Area (National Park Service) and are wildlife refuges and bird sanctuaries. Broad Channel being the exception, which is residential. Queens runs the entire width of Long Island with the East River and Long Island Sound to the north, Kings County/Borough of Brooklyn to its southwest, Nassau County to its east, and Jamaica Bay and the Atlantic Ocean to its south. Richmond County/Borough of Staten Island is an island, lying south of Manhattan Island, bordered by New Jersey to its west (separated by the Arthur Kill), NJ to its north (separated by the Kill Van Kull), Upper NY Bay to its east, and Lower NY Bay and the Atlantic Ocean to its south. Also includes Shooter's Island, Prall's Island, and Island of Meadow - all of which are bird sanctuaries. Also, to its south, are Hoffman Island and Swinburn Island which are part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, administered by the US National Park Service. </HTML>
