Last night, NYC's World Trade Center was aglow with Israel's blue and white lights to honor the life of international humanitarian Elie Wiesel. Mr. Wiesel, age 87, passed away in New York City on Saturday and was reportedly laid to rest at Sharon Gardens Cemetery in Valhalla, NY. A native of Romania, he is survived by his wife, Marion Erster Rose Wiesel, and son, and father's namesake, Shlomo Elisha Weisel. Some few days before he died, Elie Wiesel dreamt that he was back in his little Romanian hometown, walking with his parents. Such dreams are not so unusual when one is slowly dying. Mr. Wiesel came to the American literary forefront in 1960 with the English translation of his Holocaust memoir "Night," excerpted here. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed,” Mr. Wiesel wrote. “Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God himself. Never.” Not only did "Night" startle the human conscience. It freed other Holocaust survivors to tell their truths and unify in perennial remembrance of those who died during the terror of WW2's German atrocities. It also became required reading in many Metro NYC high schools. Students were struck by its stark immediacy. Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize, wrote over sixty books, and gleaned international respect for decades. Because his personae was so magnanimous, I expected him to be different than he was. When I was an undergrad, the Literature Chair at SUNY Purchase, Dr. Theodore Gross, invited Mr. Wiesel to speak there. Afterwards, just five literature majors were invited to meet with Mr. Wiesel for coffee. I expected someone huge in stature, and perhaps loud and grandiose. Rather, he was soft spoken, pensive, deliberate in his speech. His methodical way of speaking drew me in to listen. At the time, I wondered if this was how people felt when they met Ghandi, awestruck by his brilliant subtlety. Our world is quieter since Saturday. I'd like to say it's a more peaceful world than once upon a time. However, it was enriched by Elie Wiesel's brilliant light that shone through, that shines through. May God bless and cherish his most beloved son, Elie Wiesel. Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com @BAMS, 7/4/2016

There are currently almost 4800 names listed. Only about half of the names listed actually resided in Yonkers at their death; the paper published obituaries for relatives of residents who resided all over the country.

(This is the continuation of: "NEWish: NYC Marriages LICENSES 1908-1951, Pt. 1") These NYC Marriage License Indexes are fantastic, but...tricky to navigate. That's why I've composed these basics, These two emails are the culmination of about 4 hours of work. If you know the marriage date, search from it backwards 3 months. If you are searching without a date, check your surname in every month. THE LINK....TA DAAAA>>>>>>https://archive.org/details/nycmarriageindex THE BASICS: Print this page? l) Brides and Grooms are intermingled. Grooms on the left of page, brides on the right. EX: If you were searching a HARING groom and a HANNIGAN bride, both will appear on the HA- page. 2) After you proceed from YEAR to COUNTY to 1st ALPHABETICAL LETTER of SURNAME... go the first page where that letter begins. This is where it gets tricky! The listings are NOT fully chronological. Using the HARING= HANNIGAN example...Listings are not sequestial, but will appear as HA- to HZ- for January, then HA- to HZ- for February, etc While scrolling, notice the MONTH shown on the left of image. Yes, you got it! You may have to search through 12 alphabetized sections in one calendar year. Each surname is NOYt sequentially listed. Remember, HA- HB- HB- for each month or quarter. PANNING FOR GOLD: l) Go into>>> https://archive.org/details/nycmarriageindex 2) Click on the YEAR you want from list on the right.. 3) A group of COUNTIES will surface; click on the county you want. 4) Scroll down your MOUSE about 10 times. 5) Increase IMAGE SIZE by clicking on magnifying glass + image on lower right.. WARNING: If you increase later, the page may jump around. 6) Move SLIDER BAR to the right, until you reach the ALPH LETTER you need. 7) Go to the FIRST page of that alphabetical letter. 8) As you scan through images, make sure to view every month note on the left. 9) Search for both the bride and groom for each year. 10) VOILA!!!...You found both the bride and groom! You just performed a "cross referencing." NOW, make notes: YEAR, COUNTY, VOLUME #, LICENSE #, DATE, NAME PLEASE do not email me with questions until you understand parts 1 and 2.

Was a marriage license only required for NYC marriages during the 1908-1951 period or was this requirement state-wide? Thanks. Jim
