Hi lists, Seeking info and relations to Jacob J. Samuels b. 1889 NY, d. 1969 NY. He was a police officer. His parents were Morris Samuel(s) (Samuel in England, Samuels in NY) b. England abt. 1856 & Sarah Jacobs (possibly Jacobson) b. England or possibly Poland-Russia abt. 1858. From my research he married a woman named Lillie (maiden name unknown) abt. 1914. I've gathered children's names from census records as well as from his obit's. Some of his sibling's names from his obits make sense & fit from what I've found through research, but some don't compute to me at all! Here are the obits I have for him from Oct. 25 & 26, 1969: SAMUEL Jacob J. Obit Oct 25 1969 SAMUEL_Jacob J. Beloved husband of Lillie. Devoted father of Rosalyn Bernstein, Irene Samuel and Ray Samuel. Dear brother of Celia Pollack, Fanny Epstein, Sam Samuel, Nat Samuel, Ann Scheer and Susan Samuel. Loving grandfather and uncle.

DAVID FRISHER, President LOUIS WEISER, Secretary I also have his WWII Draft Registration from 1942 which lists wife as Lilly, and their address at that time in Brooklyn and that his employer was the Police Dept., 94th Precinct. In addition to seeking relations, does anyone know if employment records and such for police officers in New York might be available for his time period and if so, how I might acquire them (at a reasonable cost?....flat broke here).
