Shannon, I would check with the local Historical & Genealogy Societies. There may be a collection of newspaper anouncements of weddings & deaths done by a local group, these are well worth purchasing if possible or requesting a copy of the pages with your surnames, I keep going back ti mine again and again. These anouncements cover time periods well before civil records were required, and can lead you to the minister and or church. Thanks, Carol L. Heap

Carol, Was my Bronx map info helpful?
