Both first names are correct and year of the marriage is correct. On my grandfathers' marriage certificate mother's maidan name is caroline depolt, could be Depold. My problem is which last name to go by Spyr or Depolt. I tried both and found nothing in the census. Thank you for your help Loretta in Florida.

He lived at 1171 E 38th St. in Brooklyn, NY. I cannot find his parents William or Caroline Smith in any of the census. His death record does not have his parents name. His marriage record has his mother as Depolt not spyr. I am guessing maybe both parents died before 1900, since both parents arte missing from the census. William was the first born child in 1884, maybe parents married in 1884, do not have there marriage record. can anyone out there help me find william and caroline smith. thank you Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I called the Riewerts Memorial Funeral Home in Paramus NJ and they verified for me that the parents of Hazel Velma Sammis-Kabbel are Wade Hampton Sammis and Margaret Jane Dobson. Went to FamilySearch.org and found verification that Wade Hampton is the son of Sidney Leon and Margaret Ann Ryer and it appears that Sidney is the son of Moses Sammis and Harriet Anna Crocker. Moses seems to have married twice, second time to Jemima. This has been a wonderful addition to our search. Found the marriage cert for Sidney and Margaret on Italian Genealogy.org, from Kings County NY 1875. Ordered a copy today. If you have further info on Wade, Sidney and Moses I would greatly appreciate receiving it. I have an old picture of Wade and Margaret as well as a picture of Hazel Velma with her sisters Marjorie Sammis-Swartz and Harriet Sammis-Teter. Once again that you for all you assistance,we are thrilled.! Carol Kabbel Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding this fire. I don't have access to any Brooklyn newspapers, and while eventually I'm sure I will be able to find a source for the appropriate newspapers, I am impatient and would like to find out more now!

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Emily J. LAW which was taken at the Nichols Studio in New York City, NY. The photograph is dated April 19th 1877 with Emily appearing to be in her 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Emily and her family: Emilie PRICE b. Jun 1845 in CT to parents Edmund PRICE (b. abt 1806 in CT) and Abby H. ? (b. abt 1817 in CT). Emilie married Edward M. LAW (b. Aug 1842 in NJ) in 1869 in Manhattan, NY. The couple had 6 children including, Arthur; Abbie; Charles E.; Edward M. Jr.; Walter; and Marie LAW all born in NY between 1870 and 1884. Census records provide the following: 1880 census of Flatbush, New York City, NY: Edward LAW, age 36, born NJ, an Engraver, parents born NJ Emily LAW, wife, age 35, born NJ, Keeping House, parents born NJ Arthur LAW, son, age 11, born NY Abbie LAW, dau, age 8, born NY Edward LAW, son, age 5, born NY Charles LAW, son, age 5, born NY Walter LAW, son, age 11 months, born NY Edmond PRICE, Father-in-law, age 72, born NY, a Gentleman, parents born NY Hellen PRICE, Sister-in-law, age 32, born NY, parents born NY + 1 servant I am hoping to locate someone from her family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Maybe the searcher just missed it or maybe the registers are spotty and not everyone is recorded. The FHL has the Brooklyn death registers for that period on film in case you want to search the registers yourself if you haven't already.
