can anyone tell me where the Olcott Methodist Cemetery is located and direction on driving there from the buffalo area down 78 to olcott and any information on who runs this cemetary thank you cheryl

Hi, Is there a kind person out there who lives near Hillcrest Cemetery, Hamburg and could find out about some people who are buried there please? I am looking for George Krone and his wife Laura and members of their family. I believe that Laura had a plot there where her and other family members may be buried. I would like to know who is buried in Laura's plot and the dates. All I know at present is that George Krone died 14 Feb 1960 and Laura's 2 daughters Josephine and Elsie Driver could be buried there too. I live in England so am unable to visit the cemetery myself. Any help would be much appreciated Many thanks Dot __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Have fun online with music videos, cool games, IM and more.

George, My Grandfather used one name on my Father's birth certificate and my Grandmother used another name on the baptism certificate. The name on the baptism certificate was the name my Father used all his life. When it was time for my Father to retire, he applied for Social Security, and because the name on his birth certificate was different then the name he had been using all his life, they required that he show early census and school records, to prove that he was using only one of the names. I requested 1930 school records from the Town of Amherst in 1985, and was very surprised when I received the information that I requested along with his grades and a school photo from the school district!

Sandy, That would be great thanks. Tee

William Alexander Webster died 15 July 1932 probably in Buffalo Elizabeth Ellen (nee O'Neill) Webster died 13 Nov 1931 probably in Buffalo Zona

I don't know about ALL schools, but. . .some student records are permanent in NYS. Most private schools retain their records but not necessarily in accessible form (even to their own offices). They might just be boxes of papers somewhere in the basement (this may also be the case at public schools). If a parochial school closes, the permanent records are often transferred to the denomination's diocesan office for storage. As for public schools, in the last few years there have been grant programs for permanent records. The school may/may not have participated in one. If they did, the permanent records are probably on microfilm. The school cannot legally allow anyone to search through permanent school records whether paper or microfilm and it must be done by a school employee. Good luck on that. Most office employees are buried in current paper. Georgianne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I was at the South Wales Cemetery today and took some pictures of the stone. The only other information on the stone are the dates for Sarah (1898-1998). There are flowers planted in front of the stone so I believe there must be family that are taking care of it. I found that you can find a copy of Sarah's death notice from the Buffalo News online. For free you can see the first few lines and for $1.95 you can see the whole notice.

I just sent you the 1920 census in Buffalo, Erie County for William Alexander WEBSTER born 1856 Canada. Get his immigration and naturalization information. Zona

[Surnames covered in this email: BENZING, MEIER, STEGMANN, SCHLENKER, SCHRENK, STROHM, MUELLER, WUERTHNER.] [Towns covered: Schwenningen, Schura, Trossingen, Grossingen, Friedenstadt, Buffalo] As some of you may know, one of my Buffalo branches is the JAUCH family of Schwenningen. In researching my emigrator's history, I learned of the story of the 1847 subsidized emigration of Schwenningen's poor to the U.S. (See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jillaine/rt/1847Emigration.htm if you want to know more about this story.) Not only is it a fascinating story in and of itself, but my ancestor, Andreas JAUCH (b. 1800), appears to be one of the emigres. As a result of this fascination, I took on trying to find out where the 1847 emigres settled in the U.S. (the above web site attempts to do this). A number of them settled in Buffalo. Initially, I examined census records. But recently, I have begun reviewing the microfilm of the St. Stephens Evangelical Church in Buffalo, NY which recently became available. Several Schwenningen families are documented in this church, but not all of them are on the ships list, so that means that either some of them arrived earlier and that's why some of the 1847 emigres made their way to Buffalo, or perhaps they followed shortly after. QUERY: Is anyone on NYERIE-L researching these folks? I have also posted to the Rottweil-Tuttlingen regional list. (Apologies to those here who are on both.) Here are the Buffalo Schwenningers I have found so far through St. Stephens church records (which blissfully, by the way, list the town of origin on many of their 1850s and 1860s records): 1. Andreas WUERTHNER, with wife Christina and several children. They are on the list of 1847 emigres,. At least three of their sons (Jakob, Christian and Andreas) married (respectively: Anna LINK of Schura, Gertrant RAHL? of Prussia, and Anna Katharina MUELLER of Schwenningen) and started having children. Anna K. Mueller may be the daughter of 1847 emigre Christian MUELLER. 2. Johannes SPECK and Anna BENZING -- both of Schwenningen, probably born in the 1820s -- are having children in the mid-late 1850s in Buffalo. Johannes does not appear to be from the 1847 list, but Anna might be the daughter of Catharina who came over with two daughters. There is also another Benzing (Jakob) family in Buffalo that is not on the 1847 emigration list from which Anna may have sprung. 3. Erhard MUELLER and Margaretha HAUK (she of Baiern) are having children early 1860s; Erhard might be son of 1847 emigre Martin/Conradt MUELLER. 4. Jacob MEIER and Maria ROTHFUSS (she of Friedenstadt, Wrtbg) are having children mid 1860s in Buffalo; he might be the son of Johannes MEYER, Anna Maria MEYER (who may have been an emigrating widow), or Philip/Andreas MAHER-- all three on the 1847 list. 5. Johann Martin SCHLENKER and Katharina STRO(H)M (she of Trossingen) are having children in the mid 1860s in Buffalo. There were no Strohms on the 1847 list (and besides, she's of Trossingen). 6. Georg SCHLENKER was married to Ursula WUERTHNER. She might be an older daughter of 1847 emigre Andreas Wuerthner; I don't know who Georg might be tied to. There is a much younger Georg Schlenker, son of 1847 emigre Jakob, also in Buffalo, but this George is not the right age. 7. Another Schlenker family is Jakob SCHLENKER and Barbara SCHLENKER both of Schwenningen, having children in the mid 1860s in Buffalo. There is an 1847 emigre by this name, but older, b. 1815, who at least in 1850 was married to a Mary. So if this is the same guy, Mary died and he remarried Barbara and had another set of children. Or perhaps it is another Schlenker altogether. 8. There are at least two STEGMANN families in Buffalo, originally from Schwenningen. There is no such surname on the list of 1847 emigres. Specificially, there is a) Johann George STEGMANN married to Anna KRAFT of Grossingen. (Trossingen?) having babies in 1867, and a year later, b) another Johann Georg STEGMANN married to Ursula MAIER both of Schwenningen. Possibly the same Stegmann, but the time frame is awfully tight, and I saw no death record of Anna Kraft. [I have yet to review the marriage records; that's next.] Ursula Maier could be the daughter of 1847 emigre Johannes MEIER. 9. Katharina SCHRENK, wife of Jakob MEIER both of Schwenningen, died in 1869 with a birth date listed of 30 Oct 1803. There is a widow Katharina Meier on the 1847 emigre list. This could be her. There is no Jakob Meier on the list. Do any of these families connect to you? Sincerely, -- Jillaine Smith Washington DC http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jillaine
