While on Family Search, then browsing NYC's "Transfiguration RC Church," I found this one page of deaths misfiled with their marriage records. I'm saying misfiled as burial locations are included, and most are not Catholic. The first one listed is October 1849 and the last one is July 1853. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-9964-ZH8X?i=25&wc=MNTT-168%3A1041046701%3Fcc%3D2109939&cc=2109939 Barb [email protected]

Have you noticed this erroneous change on Ancestry? You enter a name, then want to specify NY County as the location as either "Manhattan, New York, New York" OR my fave> "New York, New York, New York" The drop down menu no longer accepts these above listings for city, county and state. Instead it appears as > "Manhattan, New York City, *New York City Counties*, New York, USA" which evokes multiple county hits. Most researchers are aware that Manhattan is NY County, not multiple counties within NYC. And, prior to 1898, New York City was essentially the island of Manhattan plus a slight part of what became the Bronx. Some bright fool at Ancestry played with what's not broken again!

This list has given me a lot. I am happy to pay back what I can in prayer. MD Irene

TONIGHT watch the remake of the near forty-year-old mini series called "Roots" Part 1 9-11pm Broadcast simultaneously on Lifetime, the History Channel, and A & E In 1976, Alex Haley's NY Times's best seller: "Roots: The Saga of An American Family" inspired the mini-series known as "Roots." After that production aired, and much litigation, including viable charges of plagiarism, and inaccuracies depicted by genealogists, Haley's text was reclassified from non-fiction to historical fiction.

Good post, Barb. I have had the occasion to use their genealogy services and they were very good and I got great info, but they do charge. Your death cert will give place of burial. If Woodlawn, go to their site and do a search. I was searching SMITH, so got lots of hits, but then I searched each member of the family and they were all in two graves, so I paid for their research.

You are very welcome, Virginia, and everyone else. Mea culpa to Nancy Lutz for my posting about Sean on the Brooklyn list sans her preliminary permission...Since this is a focused genealogy list (as traffic laden as the Brooklyn list is these days...yeah right) I've intentionally kept Sean posts to a minimum, while I've barely been online and under the weather myself. If you'd like to be updated on Sean, please email me privately and I'll set up a private mailing group, just for those supportive of Sean.

Another great use for "new" tools. Medically speaking, there's still concern for traveling blood clots; other surgeries will occur as his condition improves. The family welcomes, and is grateful for your prayers, good vibes, and well wishes, and asks that you continue. Personally, I thank each of you who has responded. Your thoughtfulness reveals your kind character. It's overwhelming. Barb in NY

Sean's family is asking for your prayers. He was supposed to be moved to a smaller hospital closer to his home and family, and remain in intensive care, until doctors discovered blood clots in his arm. Please remember the family, as well as Sean, in your prayers, good vibes, and positive thoughts. "Pray for the dead; fight like hell for the living." ---Mother Jones Barb [email protected]

(Harrisburg) -- Planning is underway to move the state's extensive archives - just days after the state announced its building a new facility in Harrisburg. The state says the $24 million facility will help meet the needs of a digital world. Speaking on WITF's Smart Talk, State Archivist David Carmichael says the process to preserve paper archives is pretty straightforward: control the environment where it's stored. "But when you give me a digital record to preserve, think about putting it on the shelf and coming back in a hundred years. The hardware has changed incredibly, the software to read it has changed. And so we have many different formats of records that we are going to have to preserve for hundreds of years, and that is a great, great challenge." Carmichael says he's also watching long-term costs on the new facility. "We've been hammering the fact that we need to think about long-term costs and make certain we are as cost effective as possible. I'm a taxpayer too, and so I'm always trying to save my own money," he says. It will have state-of-the-art heating and ventilation, but he says after working to put together a new archives building in his previous job in Georgia, he's learned to make sure maintenance costs will be manageable. The building on Harrisburg's 6th Street won't open for years - the earliest date predicted at this point is sometime in late-2019. Barb [email protected]
