I need help knowing where to go next. I found and paid for the Civil War military records of Robert Meiklehaugh for Co B & Co I NY Heavy Artillery from the Washington DC National Archives. I also found some info about him in the New York Civil War Muster Roll Abstracts - Military 1862 NY. http://dmna.ny.gov/historic/mil-hist.htm His general info is: Robert Melckechaugh [It also is deciphered as- Mcickelhaugh]; b. abt 1829 Edingburgh, Scotland, age 34, Occupation: Gardener I want to know if I should go to the NY Civil War site and see if they have any more info about this man. This will cost for EACH name I search for. One of my problems is that there have been about 6 spellings of his name in the few pieces of military papers that I have seen. How many times would I have to look for it??? AND Would there be any more information than what I saw on ancestry (listed above)? NEED ADVICE. Thanks, Cindy in Tennessee

Are there any other lists of Civil War veterans buried at other (Queens or Kings Counties) NY? This is a real find... I am looking for the resting place of a Robert Meiklehaugh who was a member of NY Co B 13 Reg Heavy Artillery and transferred to Co I 6th Reg NY Heavy Artillery and may have died in Nov 1896... Need help finding WHEN and WHERE he was buried...

Morning List My relative Anna M Tunny was a teacher in the Queens District of New York in 1930. She was 32 at that time. Would anyone have any knowledge of where she would have trained and are there any records available. Many thanks Muriel

"Ronnie" Renaldo Birth: Jun. 4, 1948 Death: Dec. 4, 1973 Ronnie was a friend of mine when I lived in Brunswick, GA back in the early 1960's. I lost touch with him after I went into the military in 1966. I learned in 2011 that he had been killed in a drive-by shooting. In the wrong place at the wrong time. At least that's what I was told. He's listed on the Social Security Death Index, but the entry didn't indicate where he was living at the time of his death. However, information gleaned from Ancestry.com indicates his last residence was Virginia. Ronnie was originally from New York state. Ronnie served in the military, branch unknown. The Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death File, lists his enlistment Date as 6 June 1968 and his release Date as 1 June 1971. Ronnie had two sisters. Robin was older, and Randi was younger. Ronnie had also told me that he was adopted. He told me that his original last name was Drust. I'd just like to know what became of an old friend.

I also got a email from rootsweb ?? --- Here is a picture of Michael R. Walsh of Corona, Queens, NY. Michael was born in 1920 and enlisted in the Army Air Corps 17 March 1942. In civilian life he was a railroad clerk. He was 69 inches tall and weighed 150 pounds. Lt. Walsh was navigator on the B-17 of 401st BG, 615th BS. His plane was shot down by flak on March 25, 1944 and crashed near Pouguemai, France. Other crew members who perished that day included Capt. William M. Rumsey, Jr., Lt. Robert D Kaercher, T/Sgt. Donald B. Roberts, T/Sgt. William W. Carter, S/Sgt. Irving I Lieberman, S/Sgt. Ivan R Lee, and S/Sgt. Frank A. Rothwell. Lt. James D. Haffner [my ancestral name is Haefner (Hafner)] and Sgt. John B. Carson were captured and became POWs. My grandfather, Philip G. Haefner lived in Corona 1910-1938. My mother was Loretta Haefner. ----------- But I cant see a picture, maybe this person will read this and reply here ?
