I would check Calvary Cemetery in Queens, as that was the cemetery for the archdiocese of NY. Maybe because he died in NY ??

Thanks again Russell. I was not able to find the register of enlistments on Ancestry. Could you tell me how to find it. Also, his son was names the same. Louis Francis LaFay. He was also in the regular Army in the artillery. His enlistment was from about 1850 to his medical discharge in 1862. He died in 1865. Makes looking for records interesting.

Dear all, Looking for information about the following New York Healy's, all kind of information is welcome. Timothy Patrick born 3 February 1890 in Mallow county Cork Ireland, chauffeur in 1934 New York city. His wife Margaret Burke born 15 May 1890 in Limerick Ireland. Margaret died probably before 1928 but dont know when Children : Robert Christopher born 1 June 1915 Daniel Joseph born 17 February 1917 Mary Ann born 4 July 1919 Timothy Patrick 9 January 1922 All children were born in New York city and resided with the parents at the address 1328 1e Avenue New York City Margaret Burke died and Timothy remarried to the widow from Thomas Astegher, Ellen Twomey or Toomey (could be Eleanor) Ellen Astegher- Twomey also had children, all the children were brought up together like brothers and sisters, Timothy married Ellen in Manhattan No idea when Timothy Healy born in 1890 died and where but could be a New York address Would love to find decendants from this family Any help is appreciated Regards Annemarie

All right, Elizabeth. Nine entries came up for LaFay's name when I entered it as the search term for Register of Enlistments, eight enlistments and once in a separate file of ordnance sergeants. There were two other enlistment dates indicated for which there was no entry. Maybe the name was spelled differently or maybe the records no longer exist. For Ft. Wood, I looked at monthly returns for Nov 1852 to Sep 1853. The file jumps from there to Jan 1854. I looked through the first three months of 1854 to see if the last quarter of 1853 had been misfiled but I couldn't find those three months. I was hoping the P.O. of Oct 1853 might be spelled out in a return. Lucky that LaFay was an ordnance sgt.; ordinarily only officers' names appeared on the returns. You may not find your other ancestors if they were enlisted soldiers unless you can look at muster rolls. As for cost of shipment of the body, might the army pay for that? I don't know, but I had a record of an undertaker in Augusta, GA, being paid $100 by the government to ship a soldier's body to PA in 1865. Maybe that was a special circumstance. Best wishes on your search. Russell On Jul 4, 2010, at 11:22 AM, Elizabeth wrote: > Thank you Russell for all that information.

Thank you Russell for all that information. I have most of it from the National Archives and from his military records. I did not realize that Ancestry had military returns. That should be helpful for many of my ancestors. I have been out to the Statue of Liberty and talked with the rangers there. Last August I found a very helpful fellow and he had suggestions. What I found interesting is that the rangers did not know of the cemetery there on the island. I found military records that said there are at least 17 buried starting from the American Revolution. There are three names listed and all the others are listed as unknown. Since his military records from Washington DC does not say where he was buried and he is not listed in all the obvious places in north Jersey and Brooklyn I keep hoping someone may have a name of a cemetery I did not know about yet. New Orleans is a possibility but the family was very poor, military pay, and I don't know if the widow would have the money for passage for his body and escort. I'll give Ancestry a try and if I am not successful I will email you to take you up on your offer of the summary. Thanks again.

Elizabeth Todd, Have you looked at LaFay's military records? The US Army Register of Enlistments, now available at Ancestry.com, shows that he first enlisted at New Orleans on 28 September 1812 as a substitute for another soldier. Might his body have been returned to N.O. for burial? There's at least 9 entries for LaFay (usually spelled Lefay by the army, one time Lefeay) in the enlistment registers. He enlisted and reenlisted 10 times and served almost 41 years before his death. Based on the ages at enlistment, his birth date was probably ca. 1787-1788. His last enlistment was in July 1850 at age 62 and his rank then and at death was ordnance sergeant. He was a blacksmith before joining the army. The monthly returns for Fort Wood for 1852-53, also at Ancestry.com in Returns from US Military Posts, show that he was sick continuously from Jan to July 1853 before dying on July 11. There's a notation in the enlistment register which may be some kind of final pay to his next of kin. I'm not sure about the meaning of the abbreviation but the citation is: P.O. (or P.C.) Oct. 11/53, No. 97 - 224. I copied out a lot of the data and can transcribe a summary and send to you if you don't already have it or I can give you some suggestions on how to find it yourself.

My Frederick (probably Friedrich) Heine was from Germany and born around 1868. All I have found out about him is what was in the 1900 census and he is listed on my grandfather's (John Frederick Heine) birth certificate as his father. From that b-cert. and the 1900 census, he had children from a previous marriage (only Florence and John were Eliza(beth)'s children). The census record indicates he immigrated in 1881. I looked at the Castle Garden site and there is one Heine family that arrived in 1881: Gottlieb (38), Marie (37), Friedrich (11), Gottlieb (8), Marie (7), Albert (2) and Robert (6 m). I thought if I could find info about this family, it might be my gr grandfather.
