Does the Wurlitzer Company from North Tonawanda still exist? I have an Wurlitzer 4430 Organ that states that it was made in North Tonawanda. Lois Lane Franklinville, NY

Probably just two competing companies producing similar products.

Hi, gang, All three volumes of the 1915 New Century Buffalo atlas are now online care of Historic Map Works. Vols. 1-2 cover the city of Buffalo and vol. 3 is suburban. These atlases are important because they show individual buildings and, in some cases, names of land owners. The links are here: http://www.buffaloresearch.com/maps.html I stuck vols. 1-2 under Buffalo and vol. 3 under Erie County. *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:**:-.,_,.-* Cynthia Van Ness, MLS, bettybarcode AT yahoo DOT com http://www.BuffaloResearch.com "Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living.

I'm wondering.....What was the difference between the Buffalo Blue Book and the Buffalo Social Register? I clearly didn't make the social cut or I probably would know the answer to this question! :-) What years were these books published and where can we find them (on-the-shelf, filmed,and/or online)?

Yes, indeed, there are many kinds of directories out there.

As always, you've sent out a neat little research gem. Thank you! :) I just looked through this and while this is probably an obvious thing, just hadn't thought about it. There are all kinds of directories out there - not just the city directories we've often talked about. I jotted down a few notes here after I finished the locality listings. (And I downloaded the PDF file) Note to self: add to list of potential sources national or regional directories (such as these by Polk listed after the locality ones). I have some "life information" for some of my ancestors that might allow me to check for them in one or more of these types of themed directories as listed by this publisher (let alone others out there). Just look at all that exist .. for all sorts of "groups" .. for occupations .. and much more. So Cynthia - with one post - and a link to a directory of directories - what you did is open my brain to potential research sources to check - and a reminder to not stop with locality based directories. You just nevver know how one post will affect someone. Thanks. :) Deb On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 6:12 PM, Cynthia Van Ness <[email protected]> wrote: > This might be useful for someone. In 1916, the R.

Hi, gang, The Buffalo Address Book & Family Directories, published annually from about 1880 to 1916, are gradually coming online at WNYlegacy.org. Why should you care? For house researchers, they are irreplaceable. They are the first directories in Buffalo to contain a reverse address section. That means you can look up a street and all the house numbers and who lives in them. Regular Buffalo city (Polk) directories did not do this until 1930 or so. You can also look people up the old fashioned way, by last name. Just one caveat, though. Being social directories, they had a distinct bias. Immigrant & working class neighborhoods-- basically the East Side--were not included. See: http://www.wnylegacy.org/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=%2FVTP003 If this link does not work, go to: http://www.wnylegacy.org/ Use the "Select a Collection" drop-down menu to choose Buffalo Address Books. This online collection was made possible by a collaborative microfilming project by the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society & the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, with digitizing & OCR by the Western NY Library Resources Council. *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:**:-.,_,.-* Cynthia Van Ness, MLS, bettybarcode AT yahoo DOT com http://www.BuffaloResearch.com "Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living.

I contacted Father Baker's home directly by telephone for some information needed on my husband's biological mother. (We are trying to locate her since he never met her in his 63 years). Since my husband already had his birth certificate, it stated his biological mother's full name. His mother was still married to his father at the time of his birth, but they were soon to be divorced. Father Bakers home was very co-operative and sent me what little information that they had. If you need any contact information for Father Bakers home, I will be happy to supply that for anyone.
