Thank you. I thought so, but wasn't sure. Angela

Is anyone familiar with a Catholic Church by the name of: Chiesa della Madonna del Carmine? It is listed at Fly and LeCouteuik Street. This information came off a marriage certificate dated 1919. I have never heard of this church. Would the "other" more recent name by Mt. Carmel? Thank you Angela

Would the book include orphanges from the 40's & 50's?

BECPL has the second item you posted. Orphanages are also listed in city directories. In the Buffalo directories, orphanages are in the front pages that list churches, charities, clubs & societies, schools, hospitals, and government offices. --- zona.himmelsbach@juno.com wrote: > Here are citations for two books that can be found in some > libraries, > which contain information on orphanages. > > "Official Catholic Directory." vol. 1-__; 1886-<2000>.

My thanks to Peggy Johnson who just sent me an email to advise that scanned images of the 1911 National Census of Canada are now online and accessible at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/index-e.html Thanks also go to Ian E. Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, and the staff at Library and Archives Canada for their hard work in putting these valuable records online sooner than was expected. This will now enable volunteers to begin indexing the 1911 records. Pardon me while I go surfing for my ancestors in 1911. <]:-) Enjoy the Census! Gordon A.

Tell me about it. I live in Livonia, MI a city of 100,000. We have three area codes: 313, which is the old one is where most of my family lived for years, and includes Detroit. I have to dial 1-313- plus the phone number. The area code where I work in Livonia, 1.5 miles from home is 248. Within in that area code to call anywhere else in that area code you also have to dial 1+248+phone number. I live in Livonia area code 734 (also a lot of other cities/towns in this area code) and for the most part, don't need to dial the 734 if calling within the same area code. It's a royal pain in the hind end. To get around this, I put my family on speed dial. It's a good thing, because I don't remember half of their numbers.

Abt 1955 I think we had a HU -1234 number which was Humboldt and later got a TA5-1234 which was Taylor. I think by late 50's it went to the longer number. Probably a check of city directories for that time period would narrow it down to what year it switched over. Small towns with their own phone service kept the 4 diget number system longer..BTW, it was a 4 party line and you could listen in on the neighbors. Before TV; that was great entertainment.My cousins in Cohocton NY had a 12 party line. Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Brian J.

Hi folks, I know everyone is busy doing summer kinds of things. So I would understand if this look up is not possible. I was in Buffalo at the library in June and managed to get a poor copy of my great grandparents wedding at Holy Trinity Lutheran church. (Truth be told the machine and I had a bit of a skirmish) It is on microfilm ML301A of the church records P. 225 Year 1878 The names are Ernest or Ernst Wodrich and Anna Meidenbauer. I believe that their entry is somewhere in the middle of the page. The entry above them is for a Johann Riedel, and below a Krause and a Haas. I would be happy to pay for copy costs and mailing and of course parking. Thanks so much for any help you can offer... Sara Burkholder 4848 Canterbury Way Anchorage, AK 99503
