Jan, Sorry I just realized I have a transcript of Capt. Hatfield's will. What I need is a phohocopy or scan of the original will. Thanks, Carol L. Heap "You live as long as you are remembered"

Jan, I have seen a very short transcript of Capt. Hatfield's will found online but if you have the full transcropt would you share with me offline? Thanks, Carol L. Heap cheap@simon.com "You live as long as you are remembered"

I received a copy as a result of my recent inquiry on this list--also his bio excerpted from "The Hatfield's of Westchester County", I believe. At the time I did not copy the Will, and just copied the bio section from the book. I've gone through my inbox to find the sender, and I guess he/she is on vacation as I haven't been able to arouse a response. I wanted the source of the Will my documentation. I don't have a copy to scan--a transcription, not a scan.

THANK YOU! to the listers who answered my question so quickly-- especially those noting the Anderson entry from the Hoes book! My person IS William Anderson. I'm having a lot of trouble finding Anderson information in early Westchester. To think they originated in PA is quite an adjustment! Actually I am after his sister, Dorothy Anderson. She spelled her name Doroty and after she married Samuel Tredwell spelled that, Treddle. Both families are involved in some land transactions after the RW, but I can't find her birth date or location. And the surname is not seen often on this list--so it must not have had many descendants who remained or lived..... Ring my bell, it your run across anything that would indicate Dorothy's parentage. It is entirely possible that William is her father, but I haven't found that yet. There is a Jeremiah, too, but again seen rarely.

Dear Wonderful Group of Helpers, I asked a question (1st one below), about getting a Death Certificate from Yonkers and received so many wonderful thoughts & idea's on what to do. I do not know how many came in private & how many came across on the list site. So I thought to copy all who emailed me on that subject. To let you all know these great ideas & suggestions should you need them. (Sorry this email is long) Thanks to all who took the time to help me (and now to help others). Junie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I want to send for a death certificate for Yonkers. On the application there is this question "Purpose for which record is required". I normally would say "Genealogy", but I hear it's hard to get any certificate from Yonkers and someone suggested to fill question in with "Pass Port" when ordering a birth certificate. Any suggestions for death certificates? And do I have to send a copy of my drivers license? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you order with the online form on Italian Gen, check Genealogy. I just ordered 2 death certificates, and it only took 2 weeks to get them to me, using a credit card to pay. Carol If you want to get all the information the best reason is Family Medical History. Diane Death certificates are public records after 50 years. If you have a problem getting it from them, you can always get it from the state. Bobbi Has anyone out there received a Yonkers Vital Record recently? (When placing "genealogy" in the "purpose" field?) I sent away for a birth certificate (1906) about 5 months ago, and although they cashed my check, I never got a reply. Back in the mid-90's Yonkers was absolutely wonderful to work with and very quick on the turnaround time. But the past few years I've never received a response. Adrienne My grgrandfather died in Yonkers in 1906. I had no problem getting his death record. Can't remember what it cost, but it didn't take long to get it. M.E, Has anyone out there received a Yonkers Vital Record recently? (When placing "genealogy" in the "purpose" field?) yes. The form that they have online has the wrong price, find the phone number and call them if you can and make sure. They were very nice when I called them to helped a person from Australia a while back. I think they even gave me a different address. Judy Submitting copies of a driver's license is not unusual with the NYC DOH. I prefer sending a copy of my passport, then they know I am a citizen. MzS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi, #1 you are talking about a certificate almost 100 years old, #2 I always say medical reasons for deaths...but I don't think they'll fight you Barb I have never had to send a copy of my drivers license for any certificate and especially would question sending ID for a certificate that old. My maternal grandmother died in 1985 in Queens. I had expected a long wait and a hard time from the City. .....didn't happen. Turnaround time was less than two weeks, I was given a refund of the extra $2.00 I had paid in case my "exact year" was wrong, and in the bargain they forwarded my request to the right borough. I had thought she's died in Manhattan where she had lived before. P.S. Passport could only be used for a very recent birth certificate. I personally wouldn't lie but that's mostly because I never lie about anything.....not because I don't think it would speed things up!! Maureen No matter where, I try to avoid the term genealogy. MANY places/record keepers consider it an obscene word. <g> I haven't had to deal with Yonkers ... at least, yet. How about 'family medical history' ? Many doctors are encouraging people to check on relatives and frequency of various ailments/illnesses. It's a legit. reason. It's really not a lie. (if they'll include cause of death and underlying conditions, with all the privacy issues nowadays.) As far as the driver's license copy goes ... if they require it .... welcome to the 21st century! Maureen in NJ The answer is Genealogy, as you thought. New York State Dept of Health and New York City have separate systems for vital records. However, they both are bound by the laws of the state. Death information need only be hidden for privacy reasons for 50 years. Any clerk who denies you a pre-1958 certificate because you are not closely related to the person does not know the law. If denied, you would need to speak with the clerk in charge of vital records. That person, unless it is a small locality, would almost certainly know the law. No driver's license is required for death certificates. People who need a passport need to prove their citizenship by submitting a previous passport or a certified birth certificate. They also have to prove their identity. For that, a driver's license or a previous passport would work (some other things, too). Birth certificates are hidden for 75 years. So, "passport" is a good reason for needing a certified copy of your own birth certificate or that of your children. But, after 75 years, Genealogy is a perfectly good reason for wanting a birth certificate of a person, whether you are directly related or not. Cliff Lamere P.S. from Cliff One thing needs to be mentioned so that my previous message is entirely clear. For birth and death certificates, all of New York State outside of New York City is under the jurisdiction of the NYS Dept of Health and must abide by the same rules. Certificates can be obtained directly from the Dept. of Health or from the local city, village or Town in which the event occurred. By law, the price must be the same in Yonkers as it is for the Dept. of Health. But, Yonkers must also use the same rules concerning obtaining a certificate for genealogical research, and the privacy period is the same. Cliff

This book of case extractions is in the Santa Clara City Public Library, Genealogy Room-- located at 2635 Homestead Road, Santa Clara, CA Phone is 408/9843236. It is a beautiful new building with excellent features and an extensive collections. Their catalogue is available on line--perhaps with your library card. I do not have their web address, but Google would have it. I did not see a second volume covering the next group of years. If there had been one, I'm sure they would have been next to one another. Since it was published by the Holland Society of New York, it might be they have a copy as well, with more information on later cases that has also been abstracted. The publish date on this book was not on the frontispiece and that was the only page I copied for my documentation. My item was on page 140--I copied another selection from page 189 and those were for cases heard in 1811. I'm sorry I can't tell you more without going back down there, but I don't have plans for that in the next few weeks. I live near, but not near enough to plan a trip without another list of things I want to find......

Jan, Where did you find this book? Do you know if there is an information source on guarianships past 1815? Joy --------------------------------- Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection. Try the free Yahoo! Mail Beta.

A few months ago I communicated with another who was also researching the above surname. I was just starting to work this name--a female line to my Silkworth (John Worthington Silkworth). I posted it on the list for some "starter" clues. I received some good suggestions--hers, "try Amos Wood". I've been trying to work on it whenever I have "genie" time. It's Duchess County and I had not investigated Duchess previously--only Ulster. Today, I found a book:"Records of the Chancery Court Province and State of New York, Guardianships 1691 -1815". abstracted by Dr Kenneth Scott, published by the Holland Society of New York. There is a Petition dated 25 January, 1802 filed by "Uriah Wood of Cornwell, Orange Co, brother of Amos Wood". The children listed in the petition are names I've seen used in subsequent Silkworth generations. One of the 4 children listed was named Mary--who was 7 years old at the date of the record. John W. Silkworth and Mary Maria Wood were married 27 November 1814, 10 days after this Mary turned 16. Their first child was named Amos W. Silkworth. The 3 other children named in the petition are Sylvanus [11], James [9], and Elisha [5] Wood. These are a lot of coincidences that have me intrigued! I' m REALLY hoping my previous correspondent will read this and contact me again! Jan jgrellim@sbcglobal.net
