Oh, help, that scam has gotten more creative! They must have finally figured out that everyone recognizes the mugged in a foreign land and needs money wired scam. Anyone's e-mail can be spoofed.

Barb, PLEASE do not repost spam to the list then tell us not to open it. You inject that spam directly into my inbox since I open messages from you. Every time I've got one of these from you I end up deluged with junk and spam. Maybe not everybody has the same problem as I do with their email, but this practice causes me a lot of grief. All you need to do is say that his email appears to be infected. Then I know to take precautions rather than just open up anything from him. Loreen

What's with Westchester County? Almost every volume contains a big case (long drawn out quarrels over wills.) Each case has anywhere from 40 to 350 pages long. They're marked with asterisks.

Dear Friends, For years now, I have not found known Irish immigrants/NYC residents in the 1860 US Census. Manhattan. The one I actually found was the name minus all vowels, in Westchester Co, NY. I know how to do wild card searching, but that hasn't helped with my latest surname. This family appears just fine in NYC 1850 Ward 7 AD 1, which appears correct for Water Street, by the docks in lower Manhattan as > . 1850/11 October--- US Census>New York>New York> Ward 7 Dist 1 Neighbors involved with ships, building, wire Mahoney, Tim (same house)...occ: ship something Tracey, John 30 [b IRE 1820] laborer Tracey, Mary 25 [b IRE 1825] Tracey, John 6 [b IRE 1844] Can anyone find this tribe in 1860 NYC [I didn't think to try Kings Co/Brooklyn] Appreciate it, Barb

Thanks for responding, Don from GGG. Would you please give us an update on the transcription project that's ongoing? And, please tell us what records are being transcribed for folks interested in NYC. I'm sure that some of the readers would like to contribute to your expenses. Barb -----Original Message----- From: Donald Eckerle [email protected]  No, it is not a joint project. The LDS is on their own. Are these recently released LDS links to NYC's BMD Collections the result of the latest NYC joint IGG and GGG Transcription Projects? Or, did LDS coordinate with IGG/GGG so that we'll have cert #s released soon?

Are these recently released LDS links to NYC's BMD Collections the result of the latest NYC joint IGG and GGG Transcription Projects? Or, did LDS coordinate with IGG/GGG so that we'll have cert #s released soon? I just spent way too many hours scouring pre-1864 Manhattan Birth Indexes in person...deteriorating, smudgy, string laden, handwritten microfilms...at NYC Municipal Archives. Results: l) There were more Irish births reported than I expected; 2) 1/3 of the microfilm readers don't work at all. The remaining ones don't have adequate backlighting to view whole certificate pages. Since Muni Arch is making a larger profit now, while their staff is overloaded with mail, email and in-person orders, it would be great if the equipment was fully functional, and they enforced the no cell phone policy.

Streit's Matzo Factory has been a hundred year NYC fixture, with 90 years at 48 Rivington Street, that's the Lower East Side (or, LDS in in abbreviation lingo). After this Passover, Streit's will be relocating to parts unknown...possibly New Jersey. It's amazing to think that they opened shop when my grandpa was just a boy.

Most entries show the name of the bride and groom, the residence (city, town, village) for both, date of marriage, names of newspapers that reported the marriage along with the newspaper date, page and column number where you will find the notice in the appropriate newspaper. It is important to note that the residence for the bride and groom is not just Lansingburgh, but may cover all areas of New York State, other States and even foreign countries. While 1,231 of the names showed no indication of residence, those records where the residence was reported are of interest as they show 232 individual cities, towns and villages throughout New York State. In addition, residence of either the bride or groom was identified as being in 33 states other than New York and even in 5 foreign countries.

It's another grand day for NYC Irish! [NBC-TV NOW!] Historically, The New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade began in 1762 where American Irish could flaunt wearin' of the green, without reprisals from the English. That's before Penal Laws, Easter 1916, and any RCs gleaned the right to vote...almost anywhere! http://www.nycstpatricksparade.org/about.html The original route was in lower Manhattan, closer to the original St. Pat's Cathedral (now Basilica) on Mulberry and Mott Streets. I figured that my earliest arriving Danny O'Connell heard the parade from Chrystie Street as he passed over in 1897.

Here it is 99 years later and there's still warring factions. Barb HEALY TO LEAD LINE ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY; Court Orders That Coroner's A.O.H. Faction Shall Not Be Hampered in Fifth Ave. 69TH REGIMENT TO MARCH Will Go to Mass at Cathedral In the Morning, but Is Undecided About the Afternoon. Justice Greenbaum of the Supreme Court decided yesterday that the permit given by the Police Department to Coroner Timothy Healy's faction of the Ancient Order of Hibernians was a good and valid document, that it should not be revoked, that the Healyites should not be restrained from marching in Fifth Avenue on St. Patrick's Day and that the Police Commissioner should not be compelled to give Roderick J. Kennedy's faction a permit to parade.

Hi Barb, I searched the Brooklyn Eagle using the street address 306 McDonough St. From about 1895-1910 the house was owned by Mr. & Mrs. John Anderson, and meetings of the Parochial chapter of the Church of Good Shepherd were held there. After 1910 the house owners were the Rev. Dr. & Mrs. Robert Rogers. Rev. Rogers is mentioned as being rector of the Ch. of Good Shepherd.
