Hi Deborah, I have been away and haven't read all my Brooklyn emails yet, so I don't know if your question has been answered already. Part of my family once lived on James Street, so here is the information that you requested. _http://www.forgotten-ny.com/streetnecrology/Bklyn%20Necrology/brooklynnec.html_ (http://www.forgotten-ny.com/streetnecrology/Bklyn%20Necrology/brooklynnec.html) Keep scrolling down and look for JAMES STREET on the left hand side of the page.

This is a great place to find leads to your Irish ancestors' whereabouts. Also note the addresses of folks who posted; this may offer your ancestor's address in a non census year! Barb N of NYC "Irish Relatives and Friends" About this book Source: Original data: DeGrazia, Laura Murphy. Irish Relatives and Friends. Baltimore, MD, USA: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2001. Description: The Irish-American, a weekly newspaper published in New York City for the edification of the Irish immigrant population, began publication in August 1849, at the height of the great exodus from Ireland. Besides news items of interest to the Irish community, the paper ran a popular classified section for people seeking information on relatives and friends who had recently taken up residence in the U.S. These classified ads appeared in a column entitled "Information Wanted," and because of their genealogical value they have been transcribed in their entirety for this publication. The ads are of particular importance to the genealogist because they usually indicate the Irish county, townland, or parish from which an immigrant came, and virtually all Irish genealogical research is based on the identification of these jurisdictions. In addition to naming former places of residence in Ireland, the ads often name places of residence in the U.S., provide names and relationships of family members, give dates of departure from Ireland and arrival in the U.S., indicate ships' names, and sometimes specify ages and occupations. To help the researcher use this data efficiently, the compilers have assembled five separate indexes: Personal Names, Irish Place Names, United States Place Names, Other Places, and New York City Streets. Altogether, some 8,500 names appear in the Personal Names index alone; and there are references to several thousand place names.

The subways used to be known by the route name - the Canarsie Line, etc. - and one of those was the Sea Beach line. Today, that route would be the N train, which runs from Stillwell Avenue in Coney Island (86th Street in Gravesend is the second stop) through Manhattan (via the Manhattan Bridge) and then out to Astoria, Queens. In the process, it stops at Times Square, where you would have picked up the shuttle to Grand Central - it also stops at 59th and Lex, so you may have taken it directly there. 250 Park is between 46th and 47th Street, so from your description, it sounds like you took Sea Beach to Times Square, and then the shuttle to GCT. At Grand Central, there are tunnels that take you as far north as 46th and Park. Another thing is that N train runs mostly above ground or through a cut in southern Brooklyn.

Hi Gladys, You might want to post your query at the Brooklyn nostalgia board: http://brooklynboard.com/msghome.html I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. L'Shannah Tovah* & Happy 5769, Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY * L'Shannah Tovah (li-SHAH-nuh TOH-vuh; li-shah-NAH toh-VAH) Hebrew. Lit. for a good year. The common greeting during Rosh ha Shannah and the Days of Awe. This is a shortening of "L'Shannah tovah tikatev v'taihatem" (or, to women, "L'Shannah tovah tikatevi v'taihatemi"), which means, "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year." This year, the two-day Jewish Biblical Festival of Rosh ha Shannah (Lev. 23:23-25) will begin at sunset on Monday, September 29 on the civil calendar.

Hi: I hope someone can help me. Many, many years ago I lived in Brooklyn and worked in NYC. I rode the Sea Beach line to work at 250 Park Avenue from the 86th Street station in Brooklyn - it ran along Fourth Avenue. It was all underground except for going over the bridge (was it the Brooklyn Bridge - I always thought it was). I do not remember the station where I got off the train and I remember going to the Grand Central shuttle over to Grand Central Station and at one point I walked through a pedestrian tunnel there to an exit which took me out - I thought - at 57th Street and Park. Is that possible? I do not remember what the side street number was. I keep thinking about this and trying to figure it out with no success. Can anyone help me on this. My memory - at least in this case - is shot!!! Too many years ago. Thanks for listening - Gladys Gladys Jensen in Colorado

Deborah, Yes, you are right James St. is in lower Manhattan (your Dad was right) close to the Brooklyn Bridge. Like I said I found it on the 1866 and 1891 maps. It is located between Bowery (1866 & 1891) and at that point it is New Bowery on the 1891 map and Pier 31 and 32. Oliver St. is one block from James St. between Bowery and Pier 33 and 32. Mott St. is on the other side of Bowery between Worth, Bowery and Bleecker St. Henry Oklahoma _tmcorner@aol.com_ (mailto:tmcorner@aol.com) In a message dated 8/16/2008 2:05:48 A.M.

Check the maps at the following site - it will take awhile! http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Map/Maps.Main.html May those that love us, love us; and those that don't love us, may God turn their hearts, and if He doesn't turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles so we'll know them by their limp.

Have looked for a James St in Brooklyn on past and present maps as well as lists of street name changes but cannot find a James St anywhere. I have a Brooklyn death certificate that puts the place of death at 8 James St, Ward 2. There is also a James St. ME Church on a Brooklyn marriage record. Just wondering if anyone has a clue as to where James St might have been located. Deborah **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.

1900 Kings County Almshouse in Flatbush section of Brooklyn (KingsCounty) If you cannot locate ancestors in the 1900 census, you may want to check the census record below. There is a preponderance of Irish names. This particular census images appear very clearly on Ancestry.com. The names are not alphabetized. There are some particularly great things about searching these pages. You will find: 1) Birth Dates are exact. 2) Childbirths: Total number and number still living in 1900, for each woman; 3) Immigration Year, and Naturalization status. I viewed each page and referenced the Image/Page numbers to correspond with the numbers on Ancestry. 1900 United States Federal Census > New York > Kings > Brooklyn Ward 29 > District 548 * Images/Pages 1 = EMPLOYEES, Lines 1-19 MALE COUNTY PAUPERS begins, Line 20 ImagesPages 1-11= MALE COUNTY PAUPERS Images/Pages 11-24 = FEMALE COUNTY PAUPERS Images /Pages 24-26 = "FOUNDLING & CHARITY CASES" Images/Pages 27-30 = EMPLOYEES: Nurses, Doctors, Orderlies etc Images/Pages 31-34 = MALE CHARITY CASES Images/Pages 34-36 = FEMALE CHARITY CASES (some males mixed in) Images/Pages 36-41 = "IDIOTS" [today aka learning disabled] POORHOUSE REGISTRATION CERTIFICATES http://www.poorhousestory.com/cert_vol.htm DEATHS http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Death/Flatbush/2.html http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Death/Flatbush/1.html ARCHITECT MUNDELL, WILLIAM A.
