Leon A. Harvey. For many years he was the pastor of the Fourth Unitarian church in Brooklyn. He resided at 798 Elmore Place, Brooklyn from at least 1910 through 1930. He was born in Pennsylvania 1860, so by the 1940 census he would be about 79 years old. He apparently appears in the 1940 census having returned to Pennsylvania and living in what is most likely an old folks' home. Census Place: Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Roll: T627_3704 Enumeration District: 51-553 Page: 16B There is no sign of Leslie W. Rogers living with him in either 1930 or 1940.

I may take you up on that. I went to St Patrick's web site and they don't have any contact info for genealogical records, so I'll give them a call Monday morning and see who I need to contact. Don't let that one bad experience deter you. I had one bad experience but also had an amazing one. I once called a nun who was the historian of a particular Dioces. I was a bit nervous due to my encounters with nuns during my Catholic upbringing. We ended up having a very nice chat about history and records and even joked a bit.
