Tink I found that their son Charles Raymond Smith, who was b. 21 Jun 1858, died 27 Apr. 1928 - don't know where. He was m. on 31 May 1880 to Helen Arnold Parks at East Albany, NY. Tried to find this couple in some census records but no luck so far.

I'm trying to trace a man whose name is given in the Mormon records as listed above. I believe he was born in the East Indies, Island of Malaca (Malacca?) about 1827. He married Mary Lathrop Raymond of Peterboro, NY and they had at least 3 sons: Charles Raymond Smith b. 1858, Frank Smith b. 1860 & d. 1878, and Robert Milton Smith b. abt. 1864. Census records that I've found: Robert and Mary were in Albany City in 1860 and 1865, where he was a bookbinder. In 1880 he is listed as R. A. F. Smith and is living in Greenbush, Rensselaer Co., NY, with his family. His wife Mary d. 16 Feb. 1889 at East Albany and he died 16 Mar. 1904 place unknown. (These dates are from the Mormon records.) I'd like to find obituaries for this couple and perhaps descendants. There are so many hits for Robert and Mary Smith that it makes it hard to search. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!!!! Donna Burdick

Hi Donna, Have you found any info on their children? There may be obits or other records for them to provide details about the parents, or at least provide a lead to search. As you know, obits are a relatively modern invention. Before 20th century obits were much less common unless person was famous or locally important. So probability of finding obits for Charles and Robert are better than for the parents. I know your challenge with Smith name. I have Smith ancestors in Pennsylvania. Great Grandma's parents were missing for years but the brick wall finally tumbled a couple years ago. Now I'm stuck at the GG Grands.

The New York State Library will be open Saturdays. Read about it here: http://www.unyg.com/blog/index.php/2010/10/your-ancestors-are-being-released-from-hostage-on-saturdays/ Dick Hillenbrand Upstate New York Genealogy www.UNYG.com/ www.UNYG.com/blog/

There is a well-known bk. about the Bonanno crime family called "Honor Thy Father" by Gay Talese. It was a best seller back in the 1970's. However, I read the bk. about 30 yrs. ago and don't recall whether it mentions central NY other than the Appalachin meeting. Since the bk. was a best seller you might still find it at your local library. Herma

Hi all Don't know exactly how true this all is but... For awhile, there was a Mafioso connection between NYC, a lot of CNY, and northern New York. From what I gathered... the Adirondacks were a favorite vacation spot for "organized crime families," and much of eastern CNY was a stopping point between NYC and the ADK park. Without meaning to be politically incorrect (which has become a real burden, by the way, in my opinion,) the Jews went to the Catskills and the Mafia went to the Adirondacks. Joe Bonanno was known as "Crazy Joe" or "Joe Bananas." There is a lot (and I mean a LOT...) of reading that relates the Mafioso to CNY. JCB

The fultonhistory.com site is terrific. Can search anything you want. In my intrigue, and also because Appalachin came up in the posts, I did see where Joseph Bonnano was in attendance.

JCB, Do you have an suggested "reading material" related to CNY Mafioso? I live in the southern tier near Apalachia the infamous community where they raided the mafia. I haven't ever seen or heard anything about CNY so I'm quite interested... (as if you couldn't tell... hee hee) E On Oct 5, 2010, at 9:14 PM, JCB wrote: > Hi all > > Don't know exactly how true this all is but... > > For awhile, there was a Mafioso connection between NYC, a lot of > CNY, and > northern New York.

hmm. interesting. I have found the Bonnano family name in Fulton, wonder if there is any connection? On the entertainer front, I can only find one reference to the 1920-1940's Joe Bananna and his bunch" There are many current groups going by this name which is kind of funny.

If you google, there is still a band call Joe Banana and his Bunch. Don't know if they are related to what you are looking for. Yes from Fultonhistory, "Joe Banana" was definitely a nickname for a infamous mafioso.

I am pretty sure the pier you are referring to is still there.... it's a type of breakwater that seperates the lake from the inlet. Eddies Restaurant is also still a very vibrant retaurant, but I don't know if Eddies was in operation back in the 1920's-1940's range. Anyone know?

I found this, but don't know if she performed there with him. Maybe your Aunt will remember her: "Lillian LONG--with Joe Banana and his Bunch, the Band with Appeal."
