My ancestors, the Kolbs, stayed on Adams St. although they moved from house to house. Actually part of the family was still there in the late 1950s or early 1960s. I have to check the addresses to see when they made the change from one house to another.

Count 72years from 1940 .... and it would be I think 2012 ...

When will the 1935 Erie County NYS Census come out, that is if it exists? Zona

I have some family photographs that I am trying to identify. They were taken around 1900 by Bliss Bros. Photography. Would any records still exist that may help me identify these individuals? Would anybody have any suggestions on how I could try to identify the time period a little more accurately?

The back of the protector states 'Popular even before "The Music Man' The did a song "I Wonder What's Become of Sally...' which prompts me to say, what's become of Pluto.

In response to the Buffalo Bills Barbershop Quartet, I did a Google search and the following website names the 4 original members. I didn't read everything, but it looks very comphrensive. _http://www.singers.com/barbershop/buffalobills.html_ (http://www.singers.com/barbershop/buffalobills.html) Please note, this is a New England Patriots fan looking up something that mentions the Buffalo Bills.... Anne Ruggeri Brewerton, NY

Zona: One of them was Wally REITZ. In my memory he is somehow connected to Lafayette High School, Amherst (Central School?) and maybe State Univ. Col. at Fredonia. And they were part of the Original MUSIC MAN.
