Hi Jack, and thanks for posting those most interesting details. Folks have written me with these questions> Tammany membership more years than 1894 Manhattan? Tammany membership in Brooklyn? We can't forget to search books, and periodicals, not just online links. As more and more records are being transcribed, we may not be able to view original documents the way we can today. I found that 1894 Tammany link accidentally while searching a family surname. BTW I also found another ancestor, a seventeen yr old, who made medical history in a book from 1880. A simple way to search books online is at Google.com/books. If anyone has other methods, please share.

Jacob Ruppert Jr, from 91st St. & 3rd Ave, in Manhattan. It was the old Ruppert Brewery, I used to ride past it almost every day on the 3rd Ave. El, it's huge copper vats on magnificent display through gigantic windows, the sharp tang of not-quite-fully processed beer hanging on the wind from 86th St. to 96th St. The Colonel went on to become owner of the NY Yankees baseball team. Wonder if there's more Tammany lists from other years. Thanks for posting. Jack Langton
