I have received the following plea and I'm hoping someone on the lists can help.. Nancy ----------------------------- I am asking you -- as someone with far more knowledge than I in genealogical research and with far more contacts in that field than I -- for help in spreading the word within genealogical circles that the New York Correction History Society seeks to establish contact with families connected to the 101 persons aboard Northeast Airlines Flight 823 that crashed on Rikers Island one minute after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport the windy, snowy evening of Feb. 1, 1957. Twenty of the 101 persons aboard were killed but 81 survived with the help from brave Correction staffers and inmates who responded to the fiery scene. A 50th anniversary commemorative presentation on our New York Correction History Society web site -- _www.correctionhistory.org_ (http:// www.correctionhistory.org/) -- includes a page listing all those aboard Flight 823 as well as pages telling the stories of two families personally connected to Flight 823 passengers. The family story pages are entitled "The Andersons of Canada remember" (Joy and Hartley Anderson) and "Remembering Mario DeRosa." I am working on third and fourth family pages -- respectively with the Esther and Gregory Chopelas family and the Alexander Ball family.. But there are 97 other such family stories that might be told if only their members knew that a commemorative web presentation seeks to include them. If you could use your good offices to spread word of this within genealogical research circles, I would be most appreciative and perhaps the number of Flight 823 families participating in the commemoration would grow. The Rikers air crash icon on our home page -- _www.correctionhistory.org_ (http://www.correctionhistory.org/) -- accesses the first of 10 web pages in the presentation. Each page has links to the other 9 pages, including the one listing the names of those aboard Flight 823. For your convenience, I have attached a text file that breaks down the list by communities. For the list as it appear in the web presentation, see _http://www.correctionhistory.org/html/chronicl/rikersaircrash/1957rikersaircr ash4.html_ (http://www.correctionhistory.org/html/chronicl/rikersaircrash/1957rikersaircrash4.html) Thank you.

I receive my email in digest form and the new info about getting onto Genealogy Bank wasn't sent out by rootsweb until 1 am on 2/14 meaning the offer had already expired. I tried to get into it anyway but it didn't work. Oh well. Most of my family didn't get here until 1900 anyway so my research is primarily in Europe. Kathy

Terrific. Glad that you has such success. All the best, Tom On 2/13/07, j1029@webtv.net <j1029@webtv.net> wrote: > > Bob Epp wrote >>> > I was able to get in on the first try!!

Friends, The response to the GenealogyBank free access offer has been huge. Despite our planning for higher demand from the free access, the response to the offer was so overwhelming that we had to disable that login/password. I will be back in touch with you as I meet with the staff tomorrow . My apologies for the interruption in the free access. Many thanks for your notes of encouragement and willingness to try out the site. More to follow.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Letitia H. KING which was taken at the Aime Dupont Studio in New York City, NY. The photograph also includes a notation "Gardner Institute Class of '99" which I believe means that the photograph was likely taken in 1899. Letitia would appear to be in her teens or 20's at the time it was taken. I'm hoping to locate someone from her family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Good Morning, According to my brother who works building boats, a ship joiner is a person who specializes in assembling/joining two pieces of wood together, and making sure that the joined area is water tight, so that the finished boat does not take on water and sink. Pat

Was there a directory of Ships' Chandlers in or around 1850 - for New York City? Not sure if I want a retail establishment or a trade organization, or what. I'm trying to find out something about ALEXANDER HAY and I wonder if he's listed in anything like that. Thank you. Heidi

I too would be interested if such an organization exists. My Thomas HOLMES was a shipjoiner in NYC during the years 1820 - abt 1850/55 . Born in 1784-85, probably in the City, he is my brick wall. Perhaps this new information, if it does indeed exist, would help me in determining who his parents were...
