Still searching for family of Michael Cardinale Belmont born in NYC of an immigrant mother Lucia Lacavara. Biological father unknown....speculate his surname may have been Adama. Fathered 17 children by three women. Children used different surnames at different times. One, my father in law now deceased used Cardinal after his marriage, others used Belmont and some used Cardinale. I understand there was bitterness between the 3 children by his wife Mary Agnes O'Shea who divorced him in 1925 and the mothers of the other children. Want to find descendants for the purpose of sharing family history. Elizabeth V. Cardinal evc1369@comcast.net

Hi all, My ancestor Sylvanus Dusenberry Hewlett 1801-1878 and his wife Elizabeth Mott lived in Hempstead for many years. Also the Bonds, my 3rd great-grandfather Walter J. Bond who came to NY from England in 1837 as a child. He married to Louisa Jackson and he lived in Queens until he died sometime in the late 1800's. Thank you. God bless, Beth deliaesther@att.net

Most of my Renart family lived in College Point, Queens in the late 1800's . Some are still there today. But my William Renart married Catherine Heilman and moved to New Jersey where they raised a family and remained for the rest of their lives. I believe Catherine Heilman was atleast originally from Brooklyn, but the family may have moved to College Point.The daughter Louise Renart married in NJ to Harry Cocker and they settled in the Paterson area. I haven't much luck with these families, especially the Heilman line so any help would be great. Nancy

Hi List, It's time for another roll call; since we have many new members, who are getting disappointed by the lack of activity lately. We need to know whom they're researching; as well as letting them know who we are researching in Queens. I'm researching the following names: Tobin, Burawa, Kelly, (Fedorowych, Matuszewska ...Various spellings) , Callahan, Donahue, & Fitzgerald. These individuals were located in NYC, The City of Brooklyn, Queens County, and Galicia(Zalasce/Zalozce/Zatosyze). Time period 1860's -- 1940's http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/t/o/b/Gerald-E-Tobin/index.html?Welcome=1001636898 Jerry Tobin List Owner

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WUB.2ACI/1425 Message Board Post: Group, The 1925 New York State Census is a valuable resource for genealogists. The census sheets for Queens have been filmed by the FHL (LDS) and there are libraries that have the information. The 1925 census is not name-indexed. Instead, you need to know an address of your target person, and from that figure out the Assembly District and Election District it was in, in order to order or look at the right film. In a few weeks I will add Queens 1925 to the suite of NYC boroughs that will have a finder aide for going from an address to an AD/ED for 1925 on the Steve Morse One Step site. One problem with such an index is the massive street name changes that Queens underwent in the 1920s. Because of it, I decided to include both the old and new street names within the EDs I'm transcribing and that's obviously taking time. If you have a modern address (post 1930 or so), you can use a modern map, figure out the cross streets, and use the utility. However, if you have an older address you might not know the cross streets. The street may not even exist on a modern map, and maps such as Hagstrom's 1949 which shows many old AND new names, doesn't show old numbers. So how would you go from an old address to finding out the cross streets? Old city directories that show cross-streets would help. Perhaps old maps that show the old names and the old numbers would also be helpful. As far as I know, there is no online source to help you with this task...except of course starting today on the Morse One Step Site. I've added a utility, taken from a 1928 Red Book, the 1949 Hagstrom Map, a 1925 base map I have with old names, the 1925 FHL AD/ED maps, and the previous renaming tables we have generated....to show you a comparison of old numbers/names to new numbers/names for Queens streets. The Red Book mostly showed Astoria and Long Island City streets, with some Flushing streets as well. So that's what I transcribed. Take a look at: http://www.stevemorse.org/census/changes/QueensRenum.htm If anyone wants to augment this table, please email me. If you find mistakes in it, let me know what specifically is wrong and I'll change the table. Thanks... Joel Weintraub
