Even though it was for hornung, the month of February, I am interested in Haury. Do you have this couple? I have dug for Hauri/Haury/Howry in Switzerland, France, Germany as well as the US. If you have further info on this couple, I'd love to hear of it. I could do the translation if I had the original before it was trashed. Asuming it is in German, not what they speak in Elsaß which is a combo of old German and French I believe. Judie Cale Nelson Potlatch, ID

Hi List, Not knowing the official name of the place that houses old Erie County Records, I understand it is off of Delaware Ave.. Can you inform me of what is held there(document wise),its location, available parking, & times of operation. I plan to be in the Buffalo area at the end of April and first week of May. Thank you so much for any help you can offer about this place. Sara Burkholder

I can't drive to Bflo 'cause my granddaughter totaled my Honda! If anyone is going to the Gardenville Cemetery, kindly check to see if there is a Pluto BADER buried there. He's my greatgrandfather. He's somewhere in Erie or Niagara County. Zona from cloudy and chilly San Bernardino County - Californiay

I'd also like to see a promotional pamphlet!

Welcome, Rayomnd, Unfortunately, New York State did not require that births, marriages & deaths be reported to the government until 1880. Before then, one pretty much relies on church records.

"The Landscape," by Fred M. Fariss I look over the landscape of genealogy To discover the footprints Of those who went before me-- My ancestors. I am awed by their feeble attempt To speak to me Through their paper trails, photographs and hearsay Of where and how they lived. When I meet with them At the threshold of history The discovery is so exciting To reconnect. With those whom I have never seen And some whom I never knew existed It is a family reunion On the plains of imagination. It is like meeting them This side of heaven Before the grand finale Of personal passage. The sad note is The wall That stands as a divider Between me and them, yet to be discovered. There is always hope Of another discovery Today—maybe--tomorrow On the landscape of genealogy. ____________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Fred for sharing this with us!

If anyone has access to the Census in Buffalo, could they look up the surname HIMMELSBACH and give me all that they find, if this isn't too much to ask. There may be some in Williamsville also and I'd definitely appreciate that also. Zona

Hi, I'm a new member of this list. I hope there is someone that may be able to give me some help in locating info on a Francis and William Silver who may have been born in the Buffalo area. The earliest information I have on that family is from the 1850 census in Richmond, Lincoln Cty, Maine. The mother and the two boys were there. Jane Silver was 40 years old and William and Francis were 12 and 6. That census had all three being born in Maine, however, all other census and other sources had the boys born in NY State. Information at the death of Francis had Buffalo as his birth place hence the reason I am trying this area. Would there be any city or county records of birth and marriages for the 1830 and 40 time period? There are probably also records of the marriage of a Jane Stacy and a Silver in the 1830's. I have no information on Janes husband as to what happened - death, divorce or something else. She did remarry later in life. Ray Roux Vero Beach, FL

Judy, The Kenilworth Race Track was on University Avenue and Lyndale Ave (both north/south streets), just north of Kenmore Avenue and west of Niagara Falls Blvd. Perhaps someone can find this on the Buffalo ED. My parents, Henry and Carmen HIMMELSBACH, lived on Lyndale Ave. Hope you finD what you are looking for. Zona

Shelley ~What a great collection of photos! ~ have you also posted this on a list for the Canandaigua area? also, perhaps you could put one or more of the photos on a website, where anyone googling/searching for the surname(s) would have the opportunity to come upon them. This collection will make someone extremely happy!

Could someone look for Pluto BADER on the 1885 ,1905, 1910 Census. My greatgrandfather sired my grandmother, Mary, in OCT 1874. She was born in Buffalo. I'd like to have at least 1 stat on him. He is buried somewhere in Erie or Niagara County. Perhaps the city directory for Buffalo would bring his name up, if anyone goes downtown to the Special Collections Dept. I'd be so deeply thankful for any effort. Zona

"Mother", taken at the Finley & Sons Studio in Canandaigua, NY, dated 1872, woman in her 50's, note "Uncle Jak MARY" written on the back of the photograph as if this is who the photograph was given to as a gift (looks very much like the three NEW girls) 4.
