Terence, It appears to be the case that you are interested in the ENDERBY line rather than the CURNUCK line. I don't know that what I have seen in search results will help you or not, but here are a few tidbits I think I have figured out: 1) Thomas CURNUCK appears to be Thomas George CURNUCK born to Fred CURNUCK and Alice Maud MORGAN on December 20, 1888 in Llangstone, Monmouthshire, Wales. This assumption is based on (a) the 1920 census where Thomas shows his place of birth to be England (b) the 1930 census, where Thomas is living with his daughter Ethel, son Harold, sister Florence and Florence's husband, (c) the WW II Draft Registration card for a Thomas George Curnuck in Brooklyn, NY, born December 20, 1888 in Birmingham, England who lists his son Harold Curnuck as the person who will always know where he is, (d) passenger list for the ship Ohio arriving in Philadelphia from Liverpool England in July 1892; the passenger list includes Alice Curnuck, daughter Florence, son Thomas, and daughter Gladys, (e) England & Wales Free BMD birth index record for Thomas George Curnuck whose birth was registered in Jan-Feb-March of 1889 in Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales -- registration taking place in Glamorgan, Gwent, Monmouthshire, Wales, (f) 1891 census for District 7, Christchurch, Monmouthshire, Wales which includes the family of Fred Curnuck, wife Alice, daughter Florence S., son Thomas G. born "Monmouthsh, Langstone", another son whose name I can't clearly make out; also Selina Lee, mother-in-law, and finally (g) England & Wales Free BMD marriage record showing that Fred Curnuck and Alice Maud Morgan are shown on the same page. 2) It would appear to be the case that Thomas's wife Louise CURNUCK as listed in the 1920 census is not the mother of Ethel, or Harold either. In the 1920 census, Louise is listed as having been born in Brooklyn, but the mother of Ethel is listed as having been born in England. In the 1930 census showing Thomas, Ethel and Harold, both Ethel and Harold show that their mother was born in England. So either Louise Curnuck was actually born in England, or she is not their mother, or the location of birth of their mother is listed incorrectly -- twice in the case of Ethel. 3) There is a death record for a Louise Curnuck who died in Kings County on May 5, 1929. If you were to order a copy of her death certificate (certificate number 11110), that should show who her parents were, and might help you to clear up this mystery. -- Good luck, Mary T2quirke@aol.com wrote: > In the 1920 census, Queens, Assembly district 5: > > > Thomas CURNUCK, head; Louise CURNUCK, wife; Alberta ENDERBY, widow, > mother-in-law, 60. > >>From the 1900 and 1910 censuses I know that Alberta (Abbie) had six children > and none living had the name of Louise.

In going over pictures I found after my mother passed away and finding I did not know them I put them aside. Now in talking to my older sister she told me the names of the people were Lily Flectcher, someone else named Kathleen who's wedding it might have been and twin girls one being named June the other maybe Sandy. Also a picture of a very good looking man who's last name may have been Spencer. I think they may have been my parents friends but I think they were all related. My sister said she thinks Kathleen may have moved to Missouri. They all lived in the area of Chauncey Street. Saratoga Ave. and Bainbridege Street, If any of this sounds familiar to someone please get in touch with me off the list and I will see about getting the pictures to you.

Joe Bissitt, Thank you for your thoughts. I agree with you 100%. I can remember the long hours spent at the South Eastern Branch of the National Archives [a 60 mile round trip] looking at microfilm until my eyes blurred and my head hurt. Some days you lucked up and found a relative and other times you struck out. That was back in 1982 and boy have things changed since then. I will gladly pay Ancestry to index, film and post all those records which I have no earthly way of accessing in person.

There is another reason...THEY did NOT do the original transcribing where the error was made. They photographed it...errors and all. One of the ladies I spoke with suggested that I send in a copy of the death cert. of my father to show that MY spelling of his name was correct. I did, and now it is correct.

When you submit an alternate name or alternate data , that comes up as a yellow triangle next to the info that has alternate information...if you run your cursor over that triangle, the alternate info will show...an alternate info search will come up with the data for the alternate name, but in THEIR original spelling. (I hope that made sense) . I did contact ancestry once and asked why, if a relation contacted them with the correct info did they not change the way the data base reads and was basically told they wee not going to change what had been originally transcribed...period...BUT in their defense, I have seen some alternate info with multiple different possibilities...you see this all the time on ONE WORLD TREES...so I can see why they would not want to be changing the database every time someone submits a different spelling or birthdate. That information might or might not be correct. Joyce In a message dated 9/6/2008 11:58:34 A.M.

All of these problems are in large part why I have never submitted my family tree to Ancestry or any other gen site. While I'm grateful to find something that may further my search, and at times I feel mean about not sharing what I have, I know that there is great opportunity for abuse and misuse of private information. One person's family tree can get attached or appropriated by a completely different family and private information for living relatives can also become public. My relatives would be furious. It's also impossible to correct or contact Ancestry. They're too big and just not interested. They have what they have and those of us who pay for it, just have to deal with it. Don't expect anything to be corrected ever.

Hi folks, This note is simply MY thoughts on the ever present subject of Ancestry.com. It does not refer to ANY previous posts, as I have only glanced at one or two, and then deleted them. When I was first seduced into this "hobby" several decades ago, finding basic information was a considerable chore. The internet was just beginning to provide web sites that contained records of interest. The wonderful LDS site was on line, or shortly thereafter came on line, but I still spent the dollars for their CD sets of the 1880 US Census, the 1881 UK Census and the British Vital Records I and II sets. I remember many trips to the San Antonio Public Library to work through the non-indexed films of the Kings County, New York census records. Of course I had to pay for gas, pay for parking at my tax funded library, pay $.10 a copy for inferior copies of faded records, etc. I also frequented the Family History Center in San Antonio, paying $3.25 for every film (over 70 at last count), waiting for film delivery, waiting for a viewer, waiting for the film printer, and again there was the gas and the time spent. Having roots in Brooklyn, NY, I took the opportunity to pay $9.75 per film for the Brooklyn Directory series from 1850 until 1900 in order to have them permanently retained at our FHC. When I finally awoke to the value of Ancestry.com, I became a world wide subscriber, and have been so ever since. When all research costs are considered, there is simply no better value to be had. I chuckle to myself when I see a statement about "free" public records. Everything has some associated cost, be it only payment for a copy of a "free" public record, or the gas necessary to drive to a record keeping facility, if near by. Sent for a Social Security record lately? I consider myself very fortunate in that my immigrant ancestors were Scots, via Quebec, and English, via Worcester, MA to Brooklyn. All of those census records are now available to me with actual images, with the exception of Scotland. Governments have learned the value to their treasuries of indexing and providing genealogical records on line, and they now have pay for view web sites in many cases. I shudder to think of the cost of a lengthy trip to the UK to dig through mountains of paper to find the records that are available to me on Ancestry.com. Is Ancestry.com without faults? Of course not!! Ever stood in line for a state drivers' license? Ever visited the Social Security or IRS offices? Give me a break. We allow our governments to continue on with superfluous people, inefficient procedures, and a "shut up and sit over there" mentality. But we tend to overlook all of the VALUE of a commercial enterprise because there are some areas that definitely need improvement. Of COURSE I am sometimes frustrated by the bureaucracy that exists within the Ancestry structure. I try to provide my feedback at every opportunity. I have no idea if anyone reads most of my inputs, but I do know that corrections that I make to the various census records are posted, and I receive an "automatic" thank you note for each and every one. Every year I am pleasantly surprised by the huge number of new searchable records that magically appear on Ancestry.com. It is difficult to imagine the equipment, time and people necessary to provide that input, so that I can sit here in my shorts at 3 am and search for long missing and obscure ancestors. I can honestly say that without the availability of Ancestry.com and the Family History Center site, I would probably have given up in utter frustration long ago. Those who have been around a lot longer than I deserve a medal for "stick-to-it-ism" !!! Sure, there are many valid horror stories and problems that some folks encounter with Ancestry.com, and this note is in no way meant to excuse them. What I do know is that so long as our current system exists, if Ancestry.com does not grow and improve, there are small sharks waiting in the shallows to become their successor. That has been our history of business. As a final thought, let me say that I am well known for providing look ups, etc., for the folks on the Rootsweb lists that I administer. Sometimes, if I actually have some spare time, I do lookups for folks on the other lists to which I subscribe, so seeing the continuing dissatisfaction by some with Ancestry.com is rather common. What REALLY gets my dander up is when I see an e-mail address of an Ancestry.com basher asking for those of us who pay for that service to do a look up. Chutzpah is not a sufficiently strong term for such nerve!!! By the way, these are my thoughts, worth exactly what you paid to read them. :-) I will not respond to any discussion messages.

Great idea! Then take a moment to use those free postpaid envelopes, and write "Take off list ASAP & forever" on the statement, and return it. Use permanent marker, write large, & send the junk back. Another way to make these entities pay is to hit them in their $ pocket: return mail an empty envelope to them, OR take a pile of junk mail and put the wrong form in their prepaid envelope. Fouls them all up and they pay for it! Your name will get off pos tmail lists but quick. Plantinga@aol.com writes: > > In a message dated 9/6/2008 9:15:27 A.M.

That is the reason to list your phone under another surname, to show only initials on your personal checks, and to use a POB address on licenses and personal checks.

One way to avoid connecting online data with you personally is to email the poster directly, not the list. Only use list to communicate how you located unusual information, w/o names. Other ways to protect your privacy are to have your home phone, email accounts, & Cablevision under a family surname that will get to you, but will not show your present name. Once you own or finance a house, information goes into the public domain. Invent a screen name that is not your actual name. Anyone can complain to their phone carrier that you do not give permission to them to include you in any lists that they sell to agencies or cold callers, and that doing so, will invite you to file suit agaist them. ************** Psssst...Have you heard the news?

This information is not completely correct. I correct name information on Ancestry.com census records all the time. When you click on a record after a search, in the left hand menu pane there is a link called something like Comments or Corrections. If you go to that link, you can add your version of the names. Hope this helps, Joe
