17 June 2016 "Once A Hero, Always A Hero: FDNY Battalion Chief Lawrence T. Stack " On what would have been his 49th wedding anniversary, FDNY Battalion Chief Lawrence T. Stack was finally honored today with a requiem Mass at Saints Philip and James Roman Catholic Church (Suffolk Co., Long Island) followed by a full military service at Calverton National Cemetery. http://www.firehero.org/fallen-firefighter/lawrence-t-stack/ Chief Stack perished in the North Tower collapse after Muslim terrorists attacked the NYC World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. He was last seen rescuing a man in that tower. Since his body was never recovered, a Catholic funeral had to be postponed. Then, just this year, the family recovered two vials of Chief Stack's blood that he'd long ago donated to the New York Blood Bank. These qualified Stack for a proper Catholic funeral. After serving in the U.S. Navy, including a tour in Viet Nam, Stack served thirty-three years with FDNY. FDNY has become synonymous with the Stack family history. Not only did Chief Stack's father and brother serve and retire from NYFD, but both of his sons are active firefighters. Chief Lawrence Stack is survived by his wife, Theresa, and their two sons, FDNY Lt. Michael Stack, 46 and Firefighter Brian Stack, 44, Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com @BAMS;6.18.2016

Finally! Something happened! New addition New York City Supreme Court cases, Vol A - F 1787-1927 (Vol C missing covering 1829-1842) Heirs will be added as soon as I finish Vol A. They read like Who is Who in New York City, wealthy families! They did not take their wills to surrogate's court. They took to Supreme Court to be heard by the justices sitting at the City Hall of New York City. http://www.sampubco.com/wills/ny/newyork.htm

Long before the IGG/GGG Marriage index transcription projects were released to the public, we searched for marriages via the Brooklyn Lists' Homepage here> http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/index.html This homepage is much more than just Brooklyn. If you're unfamiliar with it, please look around. Once there, click on "Marriages, " then click on "Marriages New York 1600s - 1900." Then, click on the first letter of the surname, etc, etc. Brides and Grooms are intermingled. Results will look like these two examples: Doyle, Mary E. Spouse : Bowden, Henry C. Date/Year of Marriage : Jul 8, 1836 Location : New York City **** 1932, selected extracts Doyle, Mary E. Spouse : Dunn, James P. Date/Year of Marriage : May 2, 1851 Location : New York City **** 1932, selected extracts Notice the year of each marriage? These occurred *before* the years available through IGG/GGG. Another reason to use these indexes is that you may find a later marriage here, that does not appear in IGG/GGG. If you have a marriage that you'd like included, or somehow acquired the wrong certificate* for any birth, marriage or death, just type up the data and send it to Nancy Lutz> NancyL916@aol.com. * The home to such certificates is called Paper Trails > http://bklyn-genealogy-info.stevemorse.org/PaperTrails/index.html Barb MizScarlettNY@aol.com

Hi Richard, No, I do not have information about this family. HAYS/HAYES it is a popular surname with early settlers of Westchester County NY, which is on the northern border of NYC. I'm including that list in this response.

The New York Times, I believe, coined the phrase "final resting place of the rich and famous" in reference to Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, NYC, and multiple media sources perpetuate it. Once the Rural Cemetery Act of 1847 restricted further churchyard burials in the cities of New York and Brooklyn, commercial burial grounds sprung up in lush, bucolic settings such as Woodlawn. It was common for visitors to pay their respects, then picnic to escape the urban congestion. If you're searching for a burial at Woodlawn Cemetery, let the following links be your guide.
