Hi Dorothy, There are sooo many books. Check out the Tenement Museum site. It's a .org and if you haven't visited the museum itself in NYC it is so incredible. It's located at 97 Orchard St on the Lower East Side, where many immigrants wound up. At least one of the families profiled there was German. They researched all the actual families who lived there, and made one apt based on the actual history of each. Not reconstructed, just tells their story, along with genuine artifacts if any were available. I was blown away. They also have a bookstore which is a GREAT place to start looking. I will try to find the site and send it, but you can Google "Tenement Museum Orchard" and I'm sure the link will pop up. Irene - feel free to write for more from me. And check out the movie Hester Street. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Dorothy Colwell" <paws6430@cox.net> Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 10:42 PM To: <nyc-roots@rootsweb.com> Subject: [NYC-ROOTS] Book Recommendation Request > Would anyone on the list have a recommendation of a book or books, either > fiction or non-fiction, dealing with the subject of what life was like for > immigrants arriving in New York City, (or any other large city for that > matter), say between the period of 1860 thru the early 1900s.

Irene, Houston Street is named for Mary Bayard, who married William Houstoun in 1788. The Bayards were large landowners in the area and, presumably, part of Mary's dowry would have been land in that general vicinity. Houstoun was from Georgia and a delegate to the Continental Congress. The "toun" part of his name probably means "town" but the "Hous" part is in dispute. It may mean house, but it also may be a corruption of the name Hugh and thus mean "Hugh's town."

My all time favorite is historical fiction titled Forever by Pete Hammil, Brooklyn's native son, NYC newspaperman, and former escort of Jackie O. It is the best condensed version of NYC's history and with a focus on immigrant life. Barb NYC Researcher paws6430@cox.net writes: > Would anyone on the list have a recommendation of a book or books, either > fiction or non-fiction, dealing with the subject of what life was like for > immigrants

Would anyone on the list have a recommendation of a book or books, either fiction or non-fiction, dealing with the subject of what life was like for immigrants arriving in New York City, (or any other large city for that matter), say between the period of 1860 thru the early 1900s. I'm particularly interested in reading about living conditions, occupations, any discriminations encountered, etc. I recently learned that several of my female ancestors were employed as domestic servants upon their arrival from Germany, and the subject has piqued my curiosity. Thanks in advance for any recommendations. Dorothy

Diane, Thank you for the reply, I would like to get the death cert for Margaret and Anthony Buhl, and a Margaret B child, and other Buhl's, also, would like to find out what orphanage Norman was put in, I have the names of the orphanages in Richmond but they don't list names on there website and the emails that I sent were not answered which leads me to believe they don't like to give this info.? I would also like to find any living relatives on or near Staten Island, I have the death cert. Numbers and dates just want to see what they died from. thanks, Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Jacobs" <geniediane@comcast.net> To: <nyc-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 21, 2010 6:30 AM Subject: Re: [NYC-ROOTS] Norman Anthony Buhl > Jackie, > > What exactly are you looking for?

If you arrive by 10AM you should have no trouble getting a machine to work with. But I suggest you get there as close to 9AM as possible as the time Flies when you are doing research. Use http://www.stevemorse.org to print Out all the possible birth, marriage and death index items that you may need To search as this will save you hours of going through their indexes. This Way you can go right to the certificates. You also have the option of having the staff make you a copy of the vital Record for $11.00 each or just copy by hand the information you find.
