I am asking please for a look up on any Doeseckle in the Buffalo area between 1900-1920. I understand there is a huge cemetery outside of Buffalo? If this is so, is it on the internet, that I might check to see if any of this family is buried there? Also what is the name of the Catholic cemetery in this area? Thank you so very very much! Tonya

On the 1930 census column 31(What war or expedition) the answer is a puzzle to me. If anyone can access the census, kindly see what it says. I'd certainly like to know where Robert E. LESTER was. I kind of put together a scenario of him serving our country WWI in England and meeting his future bride (Hattie) there. My nephew's mother Margaret was born in England according to this census. Robert was born in 1895 in NY. Zona

This is probably not of a lot of interest, but this clipping fell out of some books I recieved recently, so I thought I'd type it up: Buffalo Courier-Express, Monday, April 28, 1951 As I See It by Jerry Evarts HIT AND MISS - Mrs. A. E. Childs of 56 Ramsdell Ave. and a local attorney commented about the poem, Touch of the Master's Hand, printed last week in the column. Each said the version used wasn't quite correct and enclosed their idea of the way the poetry originally was written . . . Unfortunately, the two new versions were not identically worded, leading us to believe the old thought that time changes. everything. Note to Mary Rutledge McGuire of 272 Woodward Ave: We enjoyed your letter regarding our item about the purchase of a John McCormack record for 29 cents. We appreciate good music, too. . . . And speaking of music, Mildred M. Bauer of 338 French St. asks if we know the new tune, Anytime is Polka Time, is an all-Buffalo production? She explains the lyrics are by Hildegard Mooney, the music by Pete Birmel and the discs were pressed by Dave Howell. Congratulations to Mrs. Teresa Lambrix of 288 Roehrer Ave., who celebrated her 56th birthday last Wednesday. Among those at a surprise party were Miss Geralding [sic] Eberle of Lancaster, Mr. and Mrs. John Stockman of Kenmore, Mrs. Mildred Felnon, Miss Reta Hayak, Miss Genevieve Papeno, Mrs. Mildred Hannan and Mrs. Peggy Witzel. Two women who are experiencing tough going have appealed to the column. One, a mother of six, asks if we can find a used washing machine and a set of bunk beds. Her husband is a disabled veteran. The other needy case is that of another mother of six boys and girls. Her husband is in State Hospital and she's on welfare. Particularly needed are a used parlor suite, kitchen set and a rug . . . . If you have any of these items to spare, please call the writer.

Sandy , yes could you check them for me . How much fo you charge I cannot travel to Erie County . thanks Tee

The Historical Society of the Tonawandas has a database (not online) that includes any Civil War vets associated with the Tonawandas area. I checked it out, but neither Batt nor Leverenz appear on the list - both names are common in the Tonawandas however. Ned Schimminger

I just checked and the AG's reports do not tell the hometown, only the city of enlistment. To find hometowns, you probably have to read individual files on microfilm at NARA or the LDS. --- Cynthia Van Ness <bettybarcode@yahoo.com> wrote: > As far as I know, such a list does not exist.
