For those who belong to the Brooklyn list, if you haven't, you might check out the expansive homepage at www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com. No other list that I've belonged to has anything to compare to Nancy Lusk's "baby." As of this moment it's had 705, 384 individual searches on it. The opening page is like an index to inside topics, alphabetically organized: BIRTH , CEMETERY* , CENSUS , CIVIL*.. Occupations* & Taxes* & Auto Cases , COURT* , DEATH *, DIRECTORIES , DISASTERS* , EDUCATION / GRADUATES , ENUMERATIONS..WARDS , FIREMEN*, IMMIGRATION..Naturalization , MAPS *, MARRIAGES & Indices , MILITARY* , NEWSPAPERS *, ORPHAN*..adopt , PROFESSIONALS *, OUR MEN IN BLUE *, SOCIETIES...Clubs.etc , VITALS* , VOTE* , WOMEN*, WORSHIP * Essentially, the focus of the first page is Brooklyn, NY, USA complete with its official seal, that adorns its flag. Clicking on any of these topics brings you to the rich enimgas that compose the history of all the boroughs of NYC, NY, USA. When you search this homepage, remember the selfless volunteers for their generosity, and Nancy Lusk for her leadership, and love of NYC history that became a contagious spirit to all she's touched. I was not an enthusiastic student of history. Thirty years of genealogical research brought me to history, to see the wider vision, to understand how one event impacts another, to see the whole picture. Within the framework of genealogy is proving origins and their historical relevancy. Fact: The event on September 11, 2001, in lower Manhattan, was a manmade disaster. It was the worst disaster in NYC history since the sinking of the General Slocum in the East River. Families and their descendants were violated. Fact: NYC fireman, police, and professional civil employees reacted in emergency mode, selflessly responding. Fact: NYC firemen positioned the flag of the United States of America, at the site. Succinctly, the flying of the red, white, and blue was a statement to the world, that this is our land. It was an act of patriotism, unity, and custom. For those who view the flying of our country's flag tomorrow merely as political statement, you've missed the connection to history and genealogy. If you review the topics on this Rootsweb list's homepage, it pertains to at least the topics that are marked with an asterisk. When flying your American flag tomorrow, if you use a standard, in the ground flagpole, the U.S. Navy and Marines advise me that it is to fly at half mast. Mine will fly out my window with a black ribbon on it, to commemorate the real everyday heroes in our midst, whose lives were senselessly lost, whose family history is forever changed. “The credit goes to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly… who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat.” - Teddy Roosevelt Barb North of New York City ======= > Date:9/10/2008 7:44:21 PM Eastern Daylight Time > From:jaherbert@frontiernet.net > To:nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com > Sent from the Internet Are non-genealogy posts allowed on the list?

Hi Judy, I am writing to you in full view of the entire list. I want you to know up front that what I say is strictly and I mean this sincerely strictly MY OPINION. I have been on many lists since the inception of Roots Web many years ago. I have been "doing" Genealogy searches here in the USA, the UK, Norway & Sweden and South Africa and Germany. The premise is on each list, Genealogy and the list owners stress this along very strongly with no flaming. If you don't have these rules it goes to just a chitty chat list. No one wants this as there are hundreds of mailing listS for just these things. So we all usually go along to get along. BUT, Sometimes emotions are involved and in this case a very strong emotion, one that has transcended all the decorum we expect to find. 9-11 shattered our world, so terribly that no one will ever be the same for it. So, in our pain we reach out on the anniversary of this horrific tragedy , to each other, to remind us one and all that we should never forget. We beat the drums of our patriotism loud and for all to hear and respond to. No other single act of war has been able to do this to our spirit. Well... maybe Pearl Harbor. I ask you in the spirit of the love of our country and our fellow man to put aside your aversion to what you are seeing on the list for a few days and let us come together in the spirit of love, friendship and genealogy to bask in each other's love of country and recall the lives lost of many of our listers. No this is not the place, but Yes, some rules shatter when horror hits. I remind you this is just me speaking and if you have issue, do so with me in private. Thank you for listening.

Please join us in this FLY THE FLAG campaign and forward this to your address book friends, asking them to pass it on. THE PROGRAM: On Thursday, September 11th, 2008, display an American flag outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States . Every individual can make it their duty to display an American flag on this seventh anniversary of our country's worst travesty. This is a gesture of unity to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends, and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who are fighting to preserve our cherished freedoms. In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag represents our country. Together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you. Some folks are choosing to drive with their car lights on. Others will wear red, white, and blue as statements of unity.

Michael was just going off-duty whent the call came in - he jumped on the truck and rode downtown with his brother firefighters. He died doing what he loved - helping others.

I was living in VS at that time and they closed Sunrise Highway west. I was home that day and happened to have the TV on and saw what happened. I will never forget. My poor son-in-law still has nightmares. He lost his old Captain and many men than transferred to NYC. We knew many that lost their lives or relatives of those that are gone.

There were quite a few articles in which I was interested, but none were free; hence my request to the lists since I know paying subscribers to the paper get free access. One of the list members sent me the article late last night, so thanks to him, I now know that my GGF was a member of that Italian-American committee. Thanks.

I've sent this article to you privately. However, FYI, my library lets me have access to the NYTimes, from home, if I login using my library card number. I've found really interesting articles from the 1910s and 1920s, such as one on the Black Hand. You might want to check and see if your library allows access to databases.

When I was researching Frederick Jacobs who died "at home" in Brooklyn (1902), there was no NYC Death Cert found. But when I visited the cemetery (in Bklyn), it said he was buried "from Vailsburg, NJ." He was ill with TB and had gone to live with his son in NJ. And that's where I finally found the DC. It may even be a 'Body in Transit' Document. So try to learn more about the possible cause of death, and even all/many family members nearby (over the state border). If the person was ill in their last weeks or months, they could just have moved in with them. And as you know, the DC emanates from actual residence at the time of death (not the 'usual' home address). Allen **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?

If anyone has any ideas to solve this, it would be very appreciated. A newspaper reporter wrote for The New York Times. When he died in 1933, The New York Times published a substantial obit, stating that he died at home. At that time, his home was located in the Bronx. Family has the exact Bronx address. A written request to the NYC Municipal Archives resulted in a "not found" response. A genealogist performed a search of all boroughs, and did not find the DC. Searching at stevemorse.org>NYC Deaths, proved fruitless after many surname variations were tried, by different people. If anyone would like to attempt a search on GGG or IGG, please contact me offlist for the exact name and date. Thanks so much, Barb ************** Psssst...Have you heard the news?

Hello, This was discussed on another List a few weeks ago. Since I belong to about 100 Lists, I don't remember which one, and I need to be vague in my response. But, the gist of what was discussed is that you can call a woman in your home "a mother-in-law" even if she isn't. In general, you need to remember that, when people are chatting with the Census taker, they can tell the Census taker anything they want. Betty (near Lowell, MA) Remember to check the archives of all the Lists and Boards for your surnames and place-names.
