Hi Kim, In a message dated 3/18/2012 5:12:43 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: <<Im having trouble making out the spelling of a name on a document. The document is found on ancestry.com under the name John Osterbye..its a record for the New York, Census of Inmates in Almshouses and Poorhouses, his birthdate is Nov. 13, 1840 and he died Jan 17, 1915 not long after he was put in the poorhouse. There is a name under "names and addresses of relatives" it says "sister anna" then I cant make out the spelling of her last name. she lives at 912 2nd Ave. It looks like hemmigson...or something simular. Can anyone check this out and maybe see if you can make out the name? >> I did find Anna Henningsen 912 2nd ave, NYC in the 1920 Census, widow, age 76 b. DenmarkThe other name, Dora Chapman may be a friend. I did not find one at 500 E. 162 st. <<John was married twice, first to Dorthea Schaer, she died in 1904, I have a copy of her death cert. I cant find her and John on any census. He married 2nd Frances Huck b. abt. 1871. The poorhouse record says he was widowed so Im assuming she also died before him. I found John and frances on the 1910 census with 3 children who I also cant find anything else on>> In 1910 Census, married to Frances = they are married 16 yrs, 5 children, 3 living. Since they were married before Dorthea Schaer died in 1904, he must have been divorced. This info was found on Ancestry.com Betty Noonan
