The Internet is not a replacement for other research methods but it is a powerful and useful tool and ignoring its potential in favor of older methods would be foolish. In just the past week I found someone researching one branch of my family and the next day someone else responded to a query I posted two years ago and is a cousin in another branch. All the usual verification of data etc still needs to be done but without those initial Internet contacts my research could not have made two significant gains in one week. Using every tool available and keeping up with new resources is important. Queries often are not focused enough for the reader to know if they can actually help and more often show there has been no serious research done but a quick fix is wanted! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Fri, Feb 19, 2010 5:25 pm Subject: Re: [NYQUEENS] help with research in Queens thanks, Joan, I found a page on the Internet about the Surrogate Court and used that to order eels of microfilm from Salt Lake City.

thanks, Joan, I found a page on the Internet about the Surrogate Court and used that to order reels of microfilm from Salt Lake City.

Somebody named Kirsty M. Haining is also researching the Clark family, Annie. Clark was born 16 Sep 1879 (WWI draft records) and was already married to Eleanor Pearl then. He was working as a postmaster. Have you already used ancestry to search? I find Clark in 1880 and 1900 but not in 1910 or 1920, oddly enough. I have not located EP Turner at all as of yet.

Assisted Emigration and the Story of Brigid Egan A Lecture by Clare Curtin Sunday, February 28, 2010, at 3 p.m. at Molloy College, Hempstead Av., Rockville Center, New York. The lecture will be held in Kellenberg Hall . (Long Island RR to Rockville Center. Short Taxi ride to College.) Clare Curtin will present an illustrated lecture that examines the finer details of an emigration process not widely known to the general public. The British ship Scythia arrived in New York Harbor on May 18, 1888, carrying over 1,000 passengers who disembarked on the docks of lower Manhattan. Among them were 100 teenage girls and young women who were listed alphabetically at the end of the ship’s manifest. Among those passengers was seventeen year-old Brigid Egan, the future grandmother of Clare Curtin, the speaker. The girls were part of some prearranged assisted-emigration scheme but the exact origins were unknown....Who were the sponsors and what were their motives? Seeking answers to these questions led our presenter on a quest spanning ten years. Family history was explored, historians interviewed, and archives researched in New York, County Clare, Dublin and Belfast. While telling us more about assisted emigration in the context of the historical period, Clare Curtin will follow the path of teenager Brigid Egan, through photographs and documentation, beginning at her tenant farmhouse in Cahermurphy, Kilmihil, County Clare and ending with her ownership of a brownstone residence in Greenwich Village. via Jim Garrity
