I have (after many years) think I have found myGGM. In a census at Family Search. I am ususally pretty good at enlarging things so I can read them. For the life of me I cannot get this page to a readable status. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or give me a clue. Pat CA
Accolades to The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies for the $2,500 Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern Grant to the IGG! What a contribution for us all. Please consider a monetary donation or a donation of your time for transcribing for the IGG site. They can't do it without our help. Kathleen~CT. From: T2quirke@aol.com Subject: [BKLYN] Congratulations to IGG What a wonderful and well deserved recognition for the Italian Genealogical Group. I have greatly benefited from their indexing work as have most of us NYC researchers have. I think that this grant should be an excellent help to this group and an accolade to all those who have helped indexing in the past.

>NEW YORK CITY - October 16, 2008 - The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) has awarded the 2008 Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern Grant to the Italian Genealogical Group (IGG). The $2,500 grant will be used to create, computerize, and place online an index to the names of women who got married in Brooklyn from 1910 through 1930.< Thanks, Joy, for putting this announcement on our list! I have been waiting over 20 years for this index to be created. It seems to be little known among researchers that there is NO INDEX for brides in this time period, none, nothing, not even at the Municipal Archives. Does anyone have an idea how many women got married in Brooklyn during this period?? And, understand, this is not an index to Jewish brides or Italian brides; it will be an index to ALL brides. Perhaps I can finally discover if Kate C. Smith and Mildred Magdalene Smith, daughters of George and Magdalena Hamm Smith, ever married and passed on their mt-DNA, making it possible for me to compare it with my (deceased) father's mt-DNA report. Only another chapter in the search for his adopted mother's antecedents. thanks, Elizabet
Press Release IAJGS AWARDS STERN GRANT TO ITALIAN GENEALOGICAL GROUP IGG Will Create Online Brooklyn Brides Index for 1910-1930 NEW YORK CITY - October 16, 2008 - The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) has awarded the 2008 Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern Grant to the Italian Genealogical Group (IGG). The $2,500 grant will be used to create, computerize, and place online an index to the names of women who got married in Brooklyn from 1910 through 1930. The IGG provides free access to the public to online databases it creates from print and card indexes. The databases serve as indexes to 19th- and 20th-century birth, marriage, and death records and naturalization records for New York City's five boroughs, Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk counties, and some counties in northern New York State. Every name listed in the print and card indexes is included in the databases. Nominated by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island, the IGG was chosen by the Rabbi Malcolm H. Stern Grant Committee from among the nominations submitted by the IAJGS's member societies. The committee submitted its recommendation to the IAJGS's Board of Directors for its consideration and approval. The nomination was subsequently voted on and approved at the IAJGS membership meeting at this year's IAJGS Annual International Conference on Jewish Genealogy. According to IAJGS, "The grant will make it possible for the IGG to create and computerize a Brooklyn Brides Index for 1910-1930 from original records on 268 rolls of film from the Family History Library. There is currently no such index available for this period - a period of massive Jewish immigration. The Jewish genealogy community has greatly benefited from the 12,000,000 records computerized by earlier IGG projects, and it is most appropriate to support the 1910-1930 Brooklyn Brides project, one that will surely allow many researchers to identify the descendants of female relatives who have to date been untraceable." This marks the first time that the IGG will create a database from the records themselves rather than from an existing index. More than 500 volunteers from local genealogy groups-and individuals in Canada, Ireland, and England who learned about the IGG's projects through the Internet-compile the databases under the leadership and supervision of the IGG's Project Coordinator John Martino. The IGG first participated in an indexing project in 1999 when it partnered with New York City's Jewish Genealogical Society to create a database of Kings County (Brooklyn, New York) naturalizations. The grant honors Rabbi Malcolm Henry Stern (1915-1994), widely considered to be "the dean of American Jewish genealogy," and his efforts to increase the availability of resources for Jewish genealogical research. The intention of the Stern Grant is to encourage institutions to pursue projects, activities, and acquisitions that provide new or enhanced resources to benefit Jewish genealogists. About IAJGS: The International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies is an independent, non-profit umbrella organization that coordinates the activities of more than seventy-five national and local Jewish genealogical societies around the world. The IAJGS was formed in the late 1980s to provide a common voice for issues of significance to its members, to advance our genealogical avocation, and to coordinate items such as the Annual International Conference on Jewish Genealogy. http://www.iajgs.org About IGG: The Italian Genealogical Group, based in Long Island, New York, is dedicated to furthering Italian family history and genealogy. The databases it creates include every name listed in the indexes, without regard to nationality or religion. Volunteers from the IGG and other genealogy organizations in the New York area have been transcribing and indexing record collections held at local and regional archives. http://www.italiangen.org Eileen Polakoff, Chairperson 2008 Rabbi Malcolm H.

I just read that nobody knows where John HACK, the pioneer from St John Indiana, entered into the USA. Can someone help me figure this puzzle out? It's very difficult, I know. BUt I'm willing to give anybody a shot at this. He came from Germany (Losheim, or Niederlosheim, depending on the source) and somehow he got into Indiana and started the first German settlement in Northwest Indiana, called St John (Lake County). I have no idea how he got there either! Then all of a sudden, POOF! He was there! Just like that! Did he fall from Heaven? I DOUBT THAT! HA HA John in Michigan
Does anyone have the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Record CD and willing to look up Elizabeth Freelove who was baptized in 1752 in Hempstead, Queens, NY. I found the listing on ancestry but they don't give a primary reference. They quote the Record 1879 extracts as the reference. I am interested in what church this happened in and other information the CD may have for this event. Thanks Stefanie
I've been trying to use footnote and the census to locate Henry Cornel* you could try Corney as the corney name is most times shown as corney, caney, carney. Just a thought, pic
Thanks very much, Liz.
