Did you try www.italiangen.com great for new york records and not just italian ones ----- Original Message ----- From:vjspringer@aol.com To:NYC-ROOTS@rootsweb.com Subject:[NYC-ROOTS] Looking for a NY marriage between 1850-1853 Hi, I am new to this list and have no idea what is available in New York. My ancestors- William Meuser and his wife Henrietta Stahl Meuser were in New York between 1850-1853. I can not find the ship that they were on to come to America. and thus do not know what year they arrived. I do not know if they were married in Germany or America. They eventually moved to Ohio about 1853. The problem is that when William died there were two obituaries in the newspaper.s They lived in one Ohio City. When his wife died, William moved to another city where his children lived. One obituary was in the paper where they lived so many years together. The other was in the city where his children lived and where he lived for a little over 10 years. The problem is that the information in the two obituaries did not have the same information. The basics were the same such as the names of their children, name of spouse etc. The Germany part and the New York part were not the same. One said that William was born near Frankfurt. The other said that William was born in Hamburg. Those two cities are quite a distance apart. The census records show different places of birth but the family is the same on all of them. There is quite a disparity in the information for the years that they lived in New York. That would include whether they married in Germany or America. I have looked everywhere that I can think of except this list. I am wondering if there are marriage records for the time period between 1850-1853. I think that New York might be where they were married. Their first child was born in 1855 in Ohio. It seems as if they would have had a child earlier if they were married in Germany. There are lots of William Meusers and several Henrietta Stahls on the LDS birth records for Germany. I find no German marriage record for them. That is another reason why I think that they might have been married in New York. Thanks for any help that you can be to me.

Hi, I tried to find a marriage record for 1850-1854 in the NYC Archives. The response I received from the archives was "Marriage records predates extant Civil Vital records". They recommended I find the church where they married. As for that, I have no idea.
