Looking for the family of Solomon Sypher family, lived Lewis Co., N.Y.

Greetings All: Recently I learned that many cemeteries at one point had to decide which we tombstones would face. One of the common answers on another talk list was that the head of the deceased was placed so that it would face East to face the Lord on the Last Judgment Day. This seems to be the case in Pennsylvania. Is this true for Lewis County? I am particularly concerned about St. Stephen's in Croghan. Ken

Hello Ken My mother who this month is age (not to be mentioned in public but way up there) was a patient of Dr Gerard. She also worked for the Lewis County NY Historical Office and he was a descendant of the Gerard Family of Lewis County. I do not have the facts as this is not my family. But have you checked the Obits of the Lewis County Journal & Republic for his Death? I am sure you would find his parents listed, his history and etc there. Warm Regards Pat Regan

Greetings All: I have been searching for Pauline (aka Appoline in France) Everard and her husband Anton (Antoine in France) who married in Nitting, France. Their gravestone is in about the second row to the right as you enter St. Stephen's Cemetery in Croghan but it doesn't lead us any closer to finding much more about them except for a few births at the St. Stephen's Rectory. They did have several children during the 1850s and the spouses were named Eugenii and Pauline Gerard. (Antoine's middle name was Eugene in France so we are reasonably sure this is the couple connected to me. My great grandfather, Christopher Everard and another relative were the godparents. Here are the dates of birth of two of their children: Philomena Gerard; b. March l6, l854 Alphonsus Gerard; b. May 11, 1856 There might have been additional children because I lacked time to finish the search. Also, the records beyond about 1859 are for all practical purposes unreadable. Given that there were other Gerard families in Lewis County and that the two children above are apparently females (?), tracing the family is more difficult. People on this list have suggested there was a Dr. Gerard in Lowville who as some have said was a baby doctor may not be related at all, but I don't know that for certain. One such couple's names are Ludogius (?) and Maria Gerard. There is also a James Gerard whose cemetery appears next to my Gerard ancestors at St. Stephen's cemetery but no records have surfaced except for Charles Shaw's listing in his Civil War book. Antoine (Anton) Gerard apparently both served in the Civil War as is indicated on their two stones. James is probably related but how I don't know. The purpose for sharing this information with you is to seek search suggestions. My evidence suggests that my Gerard ancestors first lived in the township of New Bremen nearly next to my great grandfather. Later the record shows him to be in the Croghan township. Where I don't know. Last time up to Lewis I tried contacting the New Bremen town clerk for tax records to get a fix on a possible Croghan location but she doesn't have the old records. Does anyone know where that location would be. The genealogy section at the county Court House in Lowville said they were in the town clerks' offices. Someone else said they were in the town clerk's office. Can anyone straighten that out? I have requested from the NYS Health Department in Albany the death records for my ancestors. That was two months ago. Their time frame is six months! According to the cemetery stones and those listed on the Lewis Rootsweb site, my great great aunt Pauline (Appoline on the stone) Gerard died about Nov. 1, l898, and her husband Anton Gerard May 3, l904. He was in Co. C 45 Reg. Wiscin, Vol. On another point does anyone know if the Watertown Times will provide the obituaries of ancestors? Nearly two years ago I requested other information and got most of it but they would not provide obituaries for my great grandparents without a death record to show that I was related. If it is published, should not everyone have access to obituaries without authentication of relationship? I now have the death certificates and will request them but will not be able to get my great aunt and uncle's, which would tell me a great of information that seemingly is now otherwise unavailable. If anyone has a Gerard connection, I would very much like to hear from you about the possible connection. Any help at all would be very much appreciated. Ken

Greetings Fellow Listers: Does anyone know if St. Stephen's Cemetery has a source for obtaining water? I may be trying to clean a few family gravestones but will need water upon completion for washing off any debris upon completion. I'll be up next week. Ken

I have this one and only Magra in my tree. Do you have any other info on Christopher? Thanks Joyce Descendants of Christopher Magra 1  Christopher Magra b: 1848 d: 1918 . +Margaret Schaller b: April 20, 1854 in Town of New Bremen, Lewis Co., NY d: October 23, 1914 in Rome Hospital on a Friday  age 60

Greetings Fellow Lewis Listers: Although I do not know whether there are any Magra family members in Lewis County, I can share with anyone who might be related to the Magra clan limited information about the origin of the family in the county. One of my grandfather's sisters married a Francis Magra. One of their children married Francis Henry. You might be able to associate this family with the Henry Hotel. Albert Henry is my cousin and I obtained the following information on the Alsace-Lorraine list about Francis Henry's origins. Here is that information: Michel MAGRA was born in Bistroff, Lorraine, France, 16/06/1834 He went to Croghan, NY There is also Barbe, his sister born the 11/08/1832 in Bistroff Christophe, Catherine & Marguerite are also listed, but no relation with Michel is clear The parents are not listed If you are related in any way and wish to know where Bistroff is located, it is northwest of Grostenquin and east of Nancy, southeast of Metz, and nearly due south of St. Avold. Ken

Greetings Fellow Listers: Does anyone know the September hours for the Lewis County Historical Society that is now located in Lowville? Ken

According to an article in a book on the history of Lewis County, one Asahel Alford was killed, 15 Nov 1838, by his son-in-law, Lawrence McCarthy, with whom he lived. This was in the town of Watson. How might I learn where either or both are buried? What cemeteries were in the vicinity at that time? Other Alfords lived in Turin. VB Johnson
