I have just begun research on this line of my family. What I do know includes my great great grandmother Ida Schicker was born in Switzerland and I assume her 2 sisters were also. I have not found them on a passenger ship list yet but do know they travelled to New Zealand sometime before 1888. I found Joseph Leonz Schicker mentioned in a newspaper article that year. He is buried with his wife Maria. On Ida's marriage certificate her parents are listed as Joseph Leonz Schicker and Mary Gasser. I am waiting to receive his death certificate with the hope of his birthplace being Baar, Zug, Switzerland. After researching a man with the same name who could be his father, the line goes back to the 1400s in Switzerland. Of course, each generation had large families so any thing is possible. I will let you know what I find out. Tracey Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I don't seem to have access to the newspaper database you are looking at for your recent series of emails. Is it a subscription service? Could you please look for my Alvah Rice from Rochester NY. He was born in 1824 (location unknown but maybe Rochester), Married Catherine (1845) presumably in Rochester. Alvah/Catherine lived their adult lives in Rochester Alvah sometimes went by Albert Rice.

Speaking of cemeteries, what is the closest Catholic cemetery to Hamlin NY, that existd in the 1860s-1870s? Many thanks, Barb > >

Sorry but you didn't leaveyour name "Halsey," but I thank you very much. It has to be the shoemaker. I 'm just wondring how he and two brothers ran 3 branches of a shoe store in NYC, emigrated directly to NYC, yet they had a shop way up there. Andrew Clark was like the leader of his siblings, and instrumental in bringing Irish into NYC...now I wonder if he used Hamlin [IRS records said taxes were paid there] as a way to get more famine Irish into the US from Canada. Thank you to everyone who responded to my post. I went from knowing nothing to having many leads. You Monroe County folks are very helpful, and I appreciate it.

There are two Andrew Clarks listed as living in Hamlin in this business directory from 1869/70: http://www.libraryweb.org/businessdir/images/1869/1869_Gazetteer_and_business_directory_Monroe_County.pdf on page 181 (p. 182 of PDF file). One is a merchant and postmaster in East Kendall. The other is Andrew C. Clark and he is a shoemaker in East Kendall. East Kendall is a tiny Hamlet that the name was later changed to Morton, NY. Morton sits on the County line between Monroe County and Orleans County. > Are there NEWSPAPER archives and DIRECTORIES available that include Hamlin, > NY in the 1860s?

Barb, Lots of Clarks in Monroe County....I'm doing a census study of Monroe from 1860 back. I lived in Brockport as a teen so know the area pretty well.; Also had Clark friends. I find that many people came up the Hudson and apparently out the Mohawk westward. The Erie canal goes right through Brockport...my ggranddad who lived in Hamlin/Union and Brockport helped to dig the canal in the 1860's after the Civil war. If you want, I will keep an eye out for Clarks. I am going alphabetically through Monroe Cty towns and am now in Rochester 5th ward. I think you will find Clarks in the reference I gave you and in the Civil War Rosters in NYGenweb for Monroe Cty.. Also Monroe Cty Cemeteries. There is also a town of Monroe in Orange Cty, east of Rochester that causes some confusion. There are maps I will send you references to, with owners names on the farm properties. If you find any Conklins in the 1800 - 1840's, upstate, I would be most appreciative. My family started in Flushing and Rye in the 1600's and moved throughout NYS and westward. Best of luck and happy new year! jack -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 3:34 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [NYMONROE] CLARK in Hamlin, NY Hello Monore County.
