17 June 2016 "Once A Hero, Always A Hero: FDNY Battalion Chief Lawrence T. Stack " On what would have been his 49th wedding anniversary, FDNY Battalion Chief Lawrence T. Stack was finally honored today with a requiem Mass at Saints Philip and James Roman Catholic Church (Suffolk Co., Long Island) followed by a full military service at Calverton National Cemetery. http://www.firehero.org/fallen-firefighter/lawrence-t-stack/ Chief Stack perished in the North Tower collapse after Muslim terrorists attacked the NYC World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. He was last seen rescuing a man in that tower. Since his body was never recovered, a Catholic funeral had to be postponed. Then, just this year, the family recovered two vials of Chief Stack's blood that he'd long ago donated to the New York Blood Bank. These qualified Stack for a proper Catholic funeral. After serving in the U.S. Navy, including a tour in Viet Nam, Stack served thirty-three years with FDNY. FDNY has become synonymous with the Stack family history. Not only did Chief Stack's father and brother serve and retire from NYFD, but both of his sons are active firefighters. Chief Lawrence Stack is survived by his wife, Theresa, and their two sons, FDNY Lt. Michael Stack, 46 and Firefighter Brian Stack, 44, Barb [email protected] @BAMS;6.18.2016

Finally! Something happened! New addition New York City Supreme Court cases, Vol A and B 1787-1829 Heirs will be added as soon as I finish Vol A. They read like Who is Who in New York City, wealthy families! They did not take their wills to surrogate's court. They took to Supreme Court to be heard by the justices sitting at the City Hall of New York City. http://www.sampubco.com/wills/ny/newyork.htm

Long before the IGG/GGG Marriage index transcription projects were released to the public, we searched for marriages via the Brooklyn Lists' Homepage here> http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/index.html This homepage is much more than just Brooklyn. If you're unfamiliar with it, please look around. Once there, click on "Marriages, " then click on "Marriages New York 1600s - 1900." Then, click on the first letter of the surname, etc, etc. Brides and Grooms are intermingled. Results will look like these two examples: Doyle, Mary E. Spouse : Bowden, Henry C. Date/Year of Marriage : Jul 8, 1836 Location : New York City **** 1932, selected extracts Doyle, Mary E. Spouse : Dunn, James P. Date/Year of Marriage : May 2, 1851 Location : New York City **** 1932, selected extracts Notice the year of each marriage? These occurred *before* the years available through IGG/GGG. Another reason to use these indexes is that you may find a later marriage here, that does not appear in IGG/GGG. If you have a marriage that you'd like included, or somehow acquired the wrong certificate* for any birth, marriage or death, just type up the data and send it to Nancy Lutz> [email protected] * The home to such certificates is called Paper Trails > http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/PaperTrails/index.html Barb [email protected]

I found this photo for sale on Amazon and I do not know the seller. 1870-90s Vintage Victorian Cabinet Photo: Size: 4.5 x 7 inches On reverse: Anna Kessler Heiperhausser handwritten in ballpoint pen. Photo Type: Cabinet Card Photograph. Photographer: L.S. White, 105 Fourth Ave Between 11th and 12th Sts., Manhattan, New York City, Found in Buffalo New York, Erie County. We looked for the surname Heiperhausser online to no avail. We did find Anna Heiper in German immigration lists, did she marry a Kessler in the U.S? Could her surname have been have been shortened to Heiper or even Hausser? Anna appears to be in her late twenties to early thirties. Census records might read Anna Heiper. Note: We also found Henry Heiperhauser in NY with other relatives in this time period. Do you know this family? Size: 4.5 x 7 inches https://www.amazon.com/Heiperhausser-Heiperhauser-Heiper-Genealogy-Photographer/dp/B00R0OFT5U/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1465784490&sr=8-9&keywords=nyc+genealogy Barb [email protected]

I found this photo for sale at Amazon and I do not know the seller. 1881 Vintage Victorian Cabinet Photo: On reverse: Annis E. Stay handwritten in ballpoint pen. Photo Type: Cabinet Card Photograph. Date: Dated copyright 1881. Photographer: Fredricks, 770 Broadway and corner 9th Street, Manhattan, New York City, Charles DeForest Fredricks (1823-1894) was an innovative American photographer, based in NYC, there is a wiki on him. This photo of Annis was found in Buffalo New York, Erie County. Census records might read Ann or Annie Stay. We found an Annis E. Stay in the 1920 census, born in New York in 1849. She was then living in Middleburg, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, age 71. She was living with Jay D. Stay, Pauline R. Stay, Helen H. Stay. She seems to have Canadian Stay family roots, as her parents were born in Canada. We found the surname McStay also in census records, Irish. A wonderful piece by Fredricks, a very well known NYC photographer. Do you know this family? Size: 4.5 x 7 inches https://www.amazon.com/Stay-Genealogy-Photographer-Fredricks-Photograph/dp/B00R0NKRIU/ref=sr_1_58?ie=UTF8&qid=1465785168&sr=8-58&keywords=nyc+genealogy Barb [email protected]

Last Friday, at 2:30pm, three everyday heroes rescued a man who fell onto the subway tracks at the City Hall stop. This is the station nearest the NYC Municipal Archives.

Thanks for this, Kathleen. You also could print all pages and physically cut and paste your findings, side by side. Did you find these deaths on ItalianGen.org under: "EARLY Brooklyn and Queens Deaths?" which are limited to these geographic locations?>>>> Brooklyn: Flatbush 1847 - 1851, 1880 - 1896 Flatlands 1880 - 1897 Gravesend 1870 - 1899 New Lots 1881 - 1896 New Utrecht - 1870 1899 Other Towns 1881 - 1896 Queens: Newtown 1881 - 1897 College Point 1890 - 1897 Long Island City 1871 - 1897 Town of Jamaica 1881 - 1897 Village of Jamaica 1890 - 1897 Rockaway Beach 1897 - 1898 Village of Far Rockaway 1890 - 1897 Town of Far Rockaway 1890 - 1897 Village of Flushing 1890 - 1897 Village of Whitestone 1890 - 1897 Town of Flushing 1881 - 1897 Richmond Hill 1896 - 1897 Brooklyn Deaths labeled as "Early" differ from "standard* Brooklyn Deaths of the same era. Both are searchable in-person on SEPARATE microfiche. "Standard," not EARLY, Deaths began in 1866. FYI If the NYC Municipal Archives told you that a death record was "Not found," it may be because you did not specify that they were from the "Early" collection on IGG. "Manhattan and Brooklyn deaths prior to 1866 were recorded in ledger book format; the following information was recorded: date of death, decedent's name, age, residence and nativity; cause of death, burial place, and name of medical attendant."

You have to scroll through 4 pages, but imaginethat they are side by side and you are reading each line across all 4pages. Everyone keeps saying that certificates started in 1864, but this iswhat I got when ordering a Brooklyn death record c. 1874.Kathleen

The New York Times, I believe, coined the phrase "final resting place of the rich and famous" in reference to Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NYC, and multiple media sources perpetuate it. Once the Rural Cemetery Act of 1847 restricted further churchyard burials in the cities of New York and Brooklyn, commercial burial grounds sprung up in lush, bucolic settings such as Woodlawn. It was common for visitors to pay their respects, then picnic to escape the urban congestion. If you're searching for a burial at Woodlawn Cemetery, let the following links be your guide.

Here's a great photo of the New York Fire Department's fireboat in NY Harbor. It's named "343" to memorialize the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. http://irishecho.com/2016/06/a-salute-to-the-cruise/ Barb [email protected]

Hi List; After researching the HEYWARD family of Devon, England, for many years, I became aware that many of the family also settled in the U.S. Another branch of the family also spent two generations on the Isle of Guernsey before settling in Australia. I have recently joined the New York list hoping to communicate with other HEYWARDs in the New York area. Last year we visited New York and unfortunately missed a golden opportunity to stop off at Ellis Island and look through some of the old immigration records. If anybody has an interest in this family group, it would be great to hear from you. Regards Len Heyward Australia
