see _http://www.stevemorse.org/vital/nydeath.html_ (http://www.stevemorse.org/vital/nydeath.html) Hello List, It's been forever since I posted to this list but I'm hoping that somebody might be able to get me the cert numbers for two Manhattan deaths. I have the exact dates of death (or burial dates). These dates are from some family kept interment lists and I do hope they are accurate. 1) John Murray 4 September 1876 2) John Murray Jr. 16 September 1887 Just need the numbers so I can order the death certificates. Thanks so much for any help on this.

Those two ffs could be SS. Those terminal SSs were sometimes written to look like fs, especially on Germanic names.

(originally found Tunnief on a death certificate, not sure which is correct but the Pastor may have been correct, it looks like an F not a T. PETER HUDSON and CATHERINE SCHULTZ (SCHUTZ) Can anyone suggest any other surname for Barbara? The two ff's at the end are very clear. After marrying, they lived in MT. Vernon, NY and had 13 children. WILLIAM/WILHELM SEIBERT was born about 1823/24 in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany BARBARA SEIBERT was born about 1826 in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany They had 6 or 7 children: Mary, Anna E., William, John Henry, Barbara, Peter Nicholas, Edward?? Edward I have not found on any of their census'. He apparently was a concert violinist, possibly changed the spelling of Seibert and no one has any information about him other than that, and supposedly a child of William and Barbara. I am especially interested in the family of Anna E. Seibert who married WILLIAM MACK and they lived in Mt. Vernon, NY. They had 7 children. William N., George Edward, Lena, Charles, Mabel ( married George Gibbs and had 10 children), Christina (Tina). 1910 census showed a Gertrude (daughter in law of who?) living with the family.

Can anyone tell me what Catholic Church was in the area of 462 W. 41st in 1869. Thank you in advance. Mary

For a record from that time frame, why not order the certificate from the FHL? They are $2.00, with a minimum charge of $4.00. I find the turn around time is usually about two weeks.

Bobbi, Thanks so much for sharing the URL for this site. Fabulous photos from well known and respected photographers that take you back in time.

Barbara, I was glad to find a way to get public records volumes info off of Ancestry as it is much easier to find there than just in a Google search. I have submitted my database on line and updated it regularly for nearly six years now and have no complaints at all. However, it does not include people born after 1910 unless they have a death date. I do subscribe to Ancestry and enjoy its many records. However, I have chosen to place my database on Rootsweb/Worldconnect--you know, the same great place we are posting to here. That way it is available to everyone, regardless of subscriptions. (Rootsweb is supported by Ancestry but so far remains separate; if this changes, my database still includes only people born after 1910, etc.) My database offers various options, like showing or not showing sources or notes in the gedcom. I always show sources, and I never show notes as they may include more "personal" information. I do not allow the downloading of my gedcom. Anything taken has to be hand-typed. I don't care if someone "steals" all my sources because I want people to know where the information comes from--and you will notice how infrequently databases show this. This is a wonderful, fun hobby (since 1986), and sharing is half the fun.

My suggestion is to be sure your family data end with your grandparents or the generation that is no longer living.   I did battle with one popular site that was obnoxiously rigid and refused to remove data about living people.  One had me married to my husband's father.  They ultimately "saw the light" and removed it.  But it took a lot of e-mails and threats of law suits.   I do not like sharing my data with sites that charge others to view MY data, but how else am I going to get it out there?   Adrian

I recently got an email from Ancestry.com indicating they had found new  info on someone on my tree.  Imagine my horror when that info (all in the  same document) included not only my husbands date of birth BUT also his mothers maiden name!  How often have YOU been asked that very info to verify your identity  for Credit Cards and other financial info????  How many times have you lost  a CC, or your wallet, or even left it somewhere?  Some CC scams are done at  cash registers by clerks etc on the take...they quietly steal your CC info while  you are chatting away making your transaction...it happens... How many bank computers have been compromised by hackers?  They do not  alert you to this BTW...you only occasionally hear about it in the evening  news...financial institutions, stores etc are hacked all the time and they  never let the customers know unless a problem arises... I did a lot of searching and found my birth date listed in several places  also...as well as previous marriages... I also found a history of almost ALL of our past addresses for the last 20  years. THIS info is important to keep confidential as when doing a wire transfer a few years ago, of a very large sum of money, I was put through a series of questions asked by an independent company who used such info to verify you were  who you said you were...many financial institutions are using that type of info  these days for certain transactions...E-trade is the one who used it in my  case...so having a list of your previous addresses can be quite helpful to a  thief... Now this info IS public info, but in the past the crooks had to go to a lot of trouble to find it...NOW with a little looking an ancestry they can find it  with a few clicks... Thankfully not all states are releasing that info so indiscriminately, but  if you have lived in one of the states that is --and there are many--you are at  higher risk for Identity Theft, or if you have a CC stolen or # compromised,  crooks can find out a lot about you that way. I don't know what other  nefarious ways this info can be used for, but I am sure crooks do. IF you find public info on ancestry.com, about you, that you don't want  there, you CAN have it removed.  Send an email to _customersolutions@ancestry.com_ (mailto:customersolutions@ancestry.com)  and  they will tell you the steps to do so... Ancestry will need the specific URL's to delete the info, so when you find  something you want OUT of ancestry's records, save the URL to keep you from having to look for it again...but DON'T send that with your first email as there are other things they need you to do... send the complaint first, then be ready with your URL's to send them to a  specific person, after they tell you the rest of the steps. I tried to get them to reconsider having this info so easily available but  of course they would not reconsider their policy...if it is public info, no matter how potentially damaging, ancestry is going to put it out there for all  the world to see...and it really falls down to the states who are releasing this  info to them... Those of you who do not have ancestry accts, it might be worthwhile to get  a trial acct and check out what info they have on you...I had to search in a lot  of ways to find it all, so if you are concerned, time to get busy and find it  all...use the old and new search methods as some things showed up on one, but  not the other. I still have had trouble finding one piece of info I thought I saw the  other day, even though I searched every way from Sunday---so save the  URL's right when you find them! If you think I am an alarmist, that is fine...but if you are as concerned  about identity theft as I am, then you may want to take these steps.  IF your identity is stolen it can cost you tens of thousands of dollars in  legal fees just to clear your name and your credit report, even if the credit  card companies etc expunge the charges thieves make.  Identity theft is  serious stuff and very expensive to fix.

It also begins with you (not you specifically J). Share your tree with someone who is related, who has no respect for your privacy or is just too stupid to realize the problem and they could easily slap your information up on any old webpage. People have done that, taken information I gave them and put it up on the internet. Never giving a thought to why I didn't put it up there myself. I always knew enough not to give the current living generation, but what if I had? I had someone take my grandparents photos and incorporate it into their tree and they weren't even related! Nothing is sacred you have to be very careful. I've stopped sharing because I've been burned by someone's stupidity and thats a shame.
