a quick search at fultonhistory.com gives a fair number of responses pointing to Harold O Thomsen (occasionally w/o the O) in Mamaroneck, Larchmont or New Rochelle (which are aother muncipalites, like Pelham, that are all near to New Rochelle). He was mentioned as officer in Westchester division of International Association of Fire Chiefs. There was also a mention of a reunion of 78th division where he was a member of the reservation commitee. a mention of a masonic group. There was also a small death notice. There are public schools in all those areas, but I think I'd start by contacting the Mamaroneck fire dept where he was a chief. they may have some biographical data about training etc and maybe even photos. Many of those associations have an archivist. You may also need to contact (or visit ) the Westchester county archives and historical society to see what records they may be able to contribute, You can check their web pages to see what might be beneficail. There's a link to the " Westchester County GenWeb site" on this page, even though the info had not been updated recently, the ideas for local searches should help your search.

So, I've come across A historical Waldron line that I can't place in the Waldron Tree! I came across this line because it bumps up against one of my lines in Yonkers. So, I have to be careful and sort the two families apart when I get records hits. Charles Waldron, Jr 1925-2014 born in Yonkers, the son of Charles Augustine Waldron b 1890 in NY, NJ, PA (Pick one) electrician for the Phone Co., son of Charles M Waldron b ~1866/7 born in NY (US Postman in NYC), son of Charles Waldron b ~1833 Charles (1833) could be the son of: 1) James (1786) [Benjamin, Benjamin, Samuel, Resolved*] {Unlikely, and no known birth date given for this Charles}, or 2) Edward [John, Adrian*, Resolved*, Johannes*, Resolved*] {Very plausible as this would be Charles G, born 1833} Or some unknown Waldron line, or even unconnected to Resolved or Joseph Waldron lines. These are the kinds of Rabbit holes I fall down on Saturday mornings, while the world sleeps. Does anyone have anything on this particular Waldron line? Nothing urgent just a curiosity, and if I can fill in a line so much the better. (PS. I have children for Charles, Jr., but they are all living) Regards, Brian THanks

Newly released: Ulster Co., NY Poorhouse records in New Paltz, NY. The Ulster County Poorhouse was active in New Paltz NY from 1828-1976. Residents included the indigent, destitute, insane, intemperate, transient farm workers, freed slaves, unemployed canal and aqueduct builders, "debauched" women, unwed mothers, the friendless, the elderly, the disabled and the sick http://ulstercountyny.gov/poorhouse BACKSTORY: In 1824, New York State passed a law requiring that every county build a poorhouse. Just imagine, this was before the major influx of immigrants to NY Harbor. As was SOP with poorhouse/almshouse populations, including Blackwell's Island in NYC, criminally insane, poor and children were all clumped together. ADMITTANCE RECORDS: http://ulstercountyny.gov/poorhouse/background CEMETERY BURIALS: Some 2500 persons were interred at the Ulster Co. Poohouse Cemetery, but may exclude some who died as residents. These " records were compiled from County Hall of Records, the New Paltz Town Clerk's office, the Huguenot Historical Society records and various newspaper accounts from the Haviland-Herdgard Historical Collection at the Elting Library."

Here's a quick timeline of New York City's formation from Family Search, and may be especially helpful to those researching the Bronx. 1683 New York ended Yorkshire, creating New York (Manhattan) County from part of it.[8] [9] 1693 Orange County was given to New York County.[8] 1698 Orange County was made independent of New York County.[8] 1874 West Bronx was added to New York County.[8] 1881 North Brother Island was added to New York County.[8] 1884 Rikers Island was added to New York County.[8] 1895 East Bronx was added to New York County.[8] 1898 The five boroughs were consolidated into New York City, and her county governments were dissolved. The Borough of Manhattan had the same borders as the old New York County.[11] 1914 Bronx County, with the same borders as its borough, separated from New York County.[8] [12] Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice.

One of our Westchester Count V.N. vets is looking for an old school chum who he last saw in Viet Nam 1966-1967. The friend went to Lakeland schools in Shrub Oak, NY and was in the US Marines. His last name was KOZELOUZEK, but he was called "Lou," which may not be his given name. This may be the Obit for the friend's father. William F. Kozelouzek, 97, a longtime Peekskill resident, died February 26, 2010. He is survived by his two sons and one daughter William, James and Joan Deflauis. The family will receive friends on Monday, March 1st from 3 - 4 PM at the E.O. Curry Funeral Home, where at 4 PM a memorial service will be offered. E.O. CURRY FUNERAL HOME, INC. 313 N. James St. Peekskill, NY 914-737-0083 Published in the The Journal News on Feb. 27, 2010 Please contact me off list if you have any leads. Thanks, Barb

Click on video midway down this page, and watch the 3rd Avenue El in action! http://www.shorpy.com/Third-Avenue-El-Elevated-Train-New-York It stretched from Chatham Square, around City Hall, up to the Bronx. Those street scenes under the el are eerie dark to me. Of course living with an elevated train outside your window indicated that your last name wasn't ASTOR! Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com

Those of us with German ancestry know that those "V's and W's" often get interchanged in the translation. Or in my family as we would jokingly say - the wees and the double-u's. -----Original Message----- From: mizscarlettny via Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2016 11:54 AM To: brian@amason.net ; nywestch@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYWESTCH] Genealogy & Spelling of Names Thanks, Brian, but we're talking about two different spelling errors.

We often discuss how name misspellings can cause researchers to make erroneous family connections. So, when a few of us view originals at NYC Muni Arch, we report spelling corrections to the folks at GGG/IGG so that the index can be changed. By this I mean we report what we see, not the name we'd like to see. My family name WEIBEL has appeared as WIE- or end with -BLE, but savvy family researchers expect this. You can advise readers of your family's genealogy of this typical fluke in a simple introduction, then not allude to it further. There is one case when repeating incorrect spelling is helpful. When you have a record that can't be corrected, such as a census, it is just smart to tell your readers of the inaccuracy. In the 1900 US Census, Manhattan, he appears as Charles VEIEBEL, the same way a German would pronounce it. When I share my family story with relatives I clarify: My German great grandfather Charles WEIBEL, was difficult to find in the 1900 US Census in NY County because his surname appears beginning with a "V." This way, I tip off future generations of a major discrepancy, while acknowledging that I'm aware of it yet made the right connection. Bottom line: Spell the name as it appears in the official document, not way your family presently spells it. Make sense? Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com
