Hello everyone. I ran across this today and thought that I would pass it along in case anyone here was interested. Someone has the 1890 Civil War census available on CD rom. It looks interesting. Here is the link if you wanted to check it out:     http://cgi.ebay.com/1890-Civil-War-census-Kings-county-New-York_W0QQitemZ170261244330QQihZ007QQcategoryZ20927QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262   Like I said, I just wanted to pass this along. I don't stand to gain or lose if you check this out. I hope it helps someone.   Stanley

I believe both Julius Rosen and Judith (either Dubitsky or Goldman - so either Abe Dubitski/Dury is her brother or Muriel Goldman is her sister) were born in Brooklyn. In the late 1960's I think they lived in Greenwich Village. They had a daughter Harlene. Judy was born after 1930 since she does not show up on any census through 1930. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Pat Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have been doing genealogy since 1979 when i lived in Suffolk Co LI and would take trips on the LIRR to NY Public Library. Even on Summer vacations, i would make 1 day to stop in the Library of Congress in D.C. or other big libraries across the US. I would handwrite or type my requests, wait a few weeks for a reply, then mail a check for copies and postage and hope it was the clue or data i had been requiring for documentation. It took a long time to get one clue or reply, yet it was the only way. Those were the days too of having a magazine subscription to Everton's Genealogical Helper as the Mormons Library had the most data of anyone then. They were great too in helping or sending you data, yet it was time consuming. Then in the mid-'90's a home computer and Microsoft Windows became the hot item in our homes and genealogy became a great online hobby. Rootsweb.com was my first favorite FREE genealogical online site, as well as Cyndi'sList.com, and a few others. Ancestry.com had its beginnings early on as well, yet like any 'hog monguls' in our society, they saw a way to make big $$. They started collecting all that was online even taking over data on Rootsweb and others, then charging a pricey Membership fee for us to see a lot of our own data, no less what our cousins had worked hard to find over the years. Yes they had all our data and family trees that some of us innocently had put online at sites we trusted. Trust and respect seemed to go out the window however after the Clinton era. Not much we can do now as our privacy has become public, even down to people paying $ to have Google Earth to see what i was doing in my backyard this a.m.! Scary....as for sure "Big Brother" did come true more than even the book said. I still research online for FREE whenever and wherever i can. I pay when i feel it is necessary, like obtaining copies and vital records, and such. I too can see some online genealogical sites having to charge a small fee as it costs to have online, but the membership fee Ancestry wants is for their own profit and not to help us. Happy Trails to you......

His parents were Joseph KWIATKOWSKI and Maria (born BORK). On a list I was just informed that KWIATKOWSKI is the Polish version of the German name BLUEMKE/BLÜMKE. Now this makes sense to me as my grandfather considered himself to be of German ancestry. He emigrated from Germany to Montreal, Canada, in 1912, and when he got his naturalization (citizenship) papers, he legally changed the family name to BLUME. Perhaps his choice of the name BLUME in the new land harkens back to the BLUEMKE origin. I have not had any luck finding information about his parents, Joseph and Maria. Perhaps I should be looking for the name BLUEMKE. I would be interested in hearing from any who have further information to add about this.

I'm searching for John Brady a NYC coroner. 1. Will someone look at John Brady abt 1837 Ward 8 District 8; I can not make out his occupation. 2. I found a John Brady, a judge, abt 1830 Ward 21 Dist 20; could a judge be a coroner or vice versa? Bill

I just accessed ancestry and had no problem.

Is anyone having trouble accessing Ancestry? It does not seem to recognize my subscription. Bill

While WWI enlistment records are not available online, there is an alternative. After WWI, the War and Navy departments created service summary cards for every WWI veteran. The cards were turned over to the state adjutant general of the state where the veteran was living at the time he entered the service. New York's WWI service cards are held by the New York State Archives in Albany. You can obtain a copy of a WWI veteran's service card for $1 from the state archives. The cards contain such information as induction and discharge dates and military serial number. A description of the cards is located at this link: http://www.archives.nysed.gov/a/research/res_topics_mi_wwi_military.shtml#b0808 Here's a link to the New York State Archives order form for WWI service summary cards: http://www.archives.nysed.gov/a/research/res_topics_mi_warsvc_form.shtml To see a sample of the WWI service summary cards, go to the web site of the Florida State Archives, which has scanned and posted on the Internet images of its WWI service cards; here's a link: http://www.floridamemory.com/Collections/WWI/ Bear in mind cards were created only for men who actually served in WWI.

Technically, the Church was not closed. The sacramental records of a closed parish revert to the Chancery office. St. Ann merged with St. George's and became St. Ann & St. George located at St. George's location at 207 York St. The records of merged parishes are moved to the new location. However, it seems that within the last few years, St. Ann and St. George has disappeared. I can find no record of it being merged into another parish. Therefore, the records should be with the Chancery office. 75 Greene Avenue P.O.
