Hi All, I'm researching New York for family history. The DYCKMAN'S owned alot of land and built bridges and hi-ways. 72nd street to Harlem Heights for one, whether that's true?

I had been told that to bury in NYC, you must have a death certificate. I do not, however, know when this law went into effect. I have been looking for a stillborn infant c. 1920 but have not had any luck.

When my mother had a still birth in 1939 in NJ, it was written in a ledger book of the paupers cemetery. That was it.( they just took my mom's child and she never ever saw her son again. She had no idea where they had taken the baby. I would have never found it if a man on line had info cause the NJ turnpike was tearing/digging up an area for construction.

I’m trying to find some information on the two sisters of my great grandfather Henry Casey. Mary was born in 1842, Ann in 1846, the daughters of Patrick Casey and Margaret Walsh Casey. The last I was able to find on them was when they were living at 234 W 16th St, Manhattan in 1860 with their mother and brother Henry. Cheers, Ted Schmitz

Barbara I'm so glad you were able to find out more information on other family members. They were very helpful when I found relatives there, too, letting me know everyone who was buried in the same plot. Yes, it does seem rather macabre to name a baby after a previously sibling who died as a baby or small child. But, as you said, it was so often the case.   Lisa * * * * Paper and Pawprints - http://paperandpawprints.blogspot.com Design Team Member for DigiStampBoutique - http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/ ________________________________ From: Barbara Kiersh <barkie@bellsouth.net> To: "nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com" <nybrooklyn@rootsweb.com>; "NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com" <NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 2:03 PM Subject: [NYC-ROOTS] cemetery is lutheran all faiths A big thank you to Jim and everyone for their suggestions.  Not only is my great grandmother Jeanetta Lazrus buried in Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery but she's also buried with her grandson Rudolph Kern.  He was a stillborn and died the same year as Jeanetta - 1887.  The woman in the cemetery office was very nice and very helpful.

List, I’ve tried to find some relatives of ours in America(big place) & all unknown to me. I have a marriage cert with some details, maybe someone will know where to start looking. The person to start from is Nellie(could be Ellen) Elizabeth Jones b. about 1854 Gennessee County New York Father given as William Jones occ: farmer Mother Mary Ann Cox Nellie migrated to New Zealand about 1873 I can’t find any birth details from what I get on the internet, not sure where USA free indexes are? I realize Jones is a common which could cause problems. Did find a William Newton Jasper Jones married to a Mary Cox(on IGI, & Google), but the person I emailed didn’t think we were connected. Hope someone can help? Thanks Helen Linklater (Australia)

I am lookingt for a copy of a pension record for this man. Reason being is I have a Daniel W Hinckley/Hinkley age 23 (1844) marriage Akron Summit Co OH to Eliza Jane Brannan/Brannon/Braman. 1850 Boston Twp Summit Co OH gives his age as 38 making him born 1812 but his marriage record contradicts this as age 23 (1844) would make his birth year 1821 not 1812. His children were: Wm (died prior to 1860), Robert Arteman, Anna Mae, Mary Etta, Harriett, spouse is Eliza Jane. He totally disappears after 1850. He was in the household before 1860 as the 2 girls were ages 4 (Anna Mae) and (2) Mary Etta. Was said my Daniel born NY so did he return to NY as Eliza and children in household of Herman/Harmon Peck, spouse Lydia, perhaps a brother Daniel Peck in 1860 and 1870 Elyria Lorain Co OH.
