Ah, what a life. Well, last week I sent a donation to IGG. Why? Because I'm back and forth on their site so much, that I finally realized now I owe them, and it was a way to thank them & their generous volunteers. How many of you recall the earlier Rootsweb days? If you couldn't find a marriage on Ancestry.com, or familysearch.org, your next resort was the Brooklyn homepage. If these sources didn't have what you searched for, you were plum out of luck. Every time any new genie oriented site becomes public, the online buzz is essentially the same one sentence: "Is it worth the fee to join?" We've read posts ad infinitum about the NY Genie and Bio Society, New England, NYT, Ancestry.com, Genealogy.com, and more recently about Footnote. "Is it worth it?" Perhaps you are unaware of what the IGG does and why they need your donations. Right now, they are transcribing NYC birth records for Manhattan and Brooklyn inclusive of 1881-1897. Next up is birth records for all boroughs from 1898-1907. With a little help from their friends, these projects can be complete by about year's end. Volunteer transcribers are all over the globe, and the IGG has tremendous expenses including a $12,000. scanner, and postage and paper for mailing handwritten records to transcribers. The IGG is 100% volunteer and provides records, whether your ancestors danced a jig, hora, or macarena! I'd hate to see this resource begin charging annual membership fees, or per look up prices of $9.95, just as the profit making sites now do! So, my dear genealogy lovers, please dig out your checkbooks, scrimp on the weekly family pizza, or the half tank of gas, and send our friends at IGG a nice donation, please. Be sure to include your name and email address to receive a tax donation email. It's a good thing. Send it on to John, and mention my name: Miz Scarlett> John Martino Project Coordinator 49 Brookhill Lane Huntington NY 11743 Many thanks for your generosity! It's up to you New York, New York.

Based on limited research I was able to gather some information and have included that below along with information regarding each of the photographs: 1. Cornelia "Nell" H. BOGERT, taken at the Pendleton Studio in Brooklyn, NY, 1880's, girl about 6 years old 2. Cornelia "Nell" H. BOGERT, taken at the Pendleton Studio in Brooklyn, NY, 1880's, girl about 6 years old Cornelia Hewitt LOGAN b. 25 Dec 1882 in Brooklyn, NY to parents Frank Harriott LOGAN and Minnie Adelaide HEWETT 3. Mary A. LOGAN, taken at the Kopke Studio in Brooklyn, NY, 1880's, woman in her 20's or 30's, note "Mother of Cornelia BOGERT" 4/5. Clyde A. BOGERT, taken at the Frederick's Studio in New York City, NY, dated 1894, boy about 8 years old (2 copies of this photograph are included) Clyde A. BOGERT b. 1878 in Harlem, NY to parents John Jacob BOGERT and Hester J. ACKERMAN 6. Harry LOGAN, taken at the Stacy Studio in Brooklyn, NY, 1890's, a toddler, note "brother of Cornelia BOGERT" 7/8. Hester BOGERT, taken at the Frederick's Studio in New York City, NY, dated 1894, woman in her 40's or 50's, note "Mother of Clyde A. B." (2 copies of this photograph are included) 9. Frank HEWITT, taken at the Lamson Studio in Portland, ME, 1880's, young man in teens, note "Uncle" and "Mother's Brother" and "Cornelia (Nell) H. BOGERT" I am hoping to be able to return all these photographs to the family so that they can once again become the cherished family possessions they were meant to be. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

After all, my Nana was the one that gave me the curiosity and interest in finding my roots and the IGG and the BKLYN Info Pages have helped me enormously. I feel that it's the least I can do so that I may continue my research while in my sweats, drinking a cup of coffee, and in such a relaxed atmosphere as my own home. The more money they receive, the more information we will find! If you would like Nancy's address, please email me. Kathleen~CT.
