    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: DonaldRNewcomb Surnames: Watterston Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.queens/4438.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thanks Nancy, I got her birth date from the database on the italiangen.org site and I've searched the fultonhistory site. She was Elizabeth H. Watterston b. 24 May 1906. The surname gets written with anywhere from 1 to 3 Ts. She might not have been in local high schools. The parents had enough money to send her brother Charles to private schools in NJ and Brown Univ., so they might have done the same for her. There was an Elizabeth Watterston who died in May 1920 in Manhattan but she was 74. There was also another who married Ernest Barker in 1920 but she seems to match the daughter of Henry & Mary, born 1904. Normally, I can find some clues using GenealogyBank, Ancestry, NewsBank, etc. but she seems to have been abducted by aliens. I didn't know if the local library had copies of yearbooks, directories, social registers, etc., that might hold some clues.
