otg@csolve.net (Lorine McGinnis Schulze) I've transcribed more records from the Alms House Admission Foreigners & Nativity Records ( New York City, NY) These records apply to immigrants to Quebec, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Boston. In the early 1800's port cities in the USA bore the burden of immigration. By the time they arrived, so many immigrants were tired, hungry and poor they ended up in the City Almshouse. The new records are from the years 1855 to 1858 and include the name of the ship each person sailed on (if they remembered it), the date they arrived, the ports of departure and arrival, their age, their place of origin and more. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ny_alms1855.htm I'm transcribing the records as best I can but the originals were only in fair shape, and some of the writing is almost illegible. They are in a very cramped hand, it seems the clerks had little room to make their entries in these ledger books, and some of the writing is so tiny that it is difficult if not impossible to read! Here is an example of the kinds of information found in the Almshouse records: In Mar 1856 John Coleman, age 15, single, from Ireland applied for relief. He told the clerk of the Almshouse that sailed from Liverpool on the Ship Ontario, arriving on 19 Dec. 1855 in New York. He didn't know the Captain's name, and had no one to vouch for him from New York City. It was his first time 'on the island" (meaning applying for relief). He was discharged in April 1856 Sometimes comments were added in the column for death or discharge dates. For example, poor Bridget Connor applied for relief on Apr 30, 1855. Bridget, 26, a spinster from Ireland told the clerk she sailed "about 20 months ago" from Tralee to Quebec. Bridget gave her ship name as Payoo or Payne, Captain O'Donohan commanding. This was her third time on the island, and the clerk recorded "Stupid" beside her discharge date of 16 Jan. '57 (If you find an ancestor with such a notation, or "insane" as I have also seen, don't be alarmed - sometimes not knowing how to add was enough to be labeled as "stupid"!) One poor man was noted as having run off and eloped to Quebec! There are many entries for individuals sailing to Quebec and Montreal, mainly from Ireland, so if you are looking for an elusive ancestor arriving in Canada in the time period 1850- 1858 you will want to check these records. The ports of arrival so far are New York, New Orleans, Quebec, Montreal, Philadelphia and Boston. Places of origin are Ireland, England, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland, with the majority being Irish For New York arrivals, this is a wonderful addition to help with those UNindexed years. The index to the records can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/ny_alms1855.htm This set of records adds to the existing records I have already transcribed and put online for the NYC Almshouse for 1819-1822 (with 1823 to 1840 to follow) starting at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/ny_alms1819.shtml Annie Whiteman PABlair Rootsweb List Administrator Annie Whiteman/Steve Patz Blair County Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~pablair

According to Archie Claar's register of Deaths Vol 2 Stewart Blanchard Kinch died on August 15, 1921., the son of David and Isabell Kinch. The cause of death is listed as complications and his wife is listed as Violet Jackson, whom he married on June 28, 1899. Bertha (Cramer) Kinch is listed with a date of death of May 31, 1922, in Pittsburgh. She is listed as the wife of John Z Kinch, with pneumonia as a cause of death. She is buried in Fairview in Altoona, the listing states born 1870. John Z Kinch (born 1860 intered 9/3/1930)is listed in Fairview .Also buried there Anne L (mcLaughlin) Kinch 1871-1890, who is noted as wife of John Z . In the same plot with Bertha is a Carl Cecil Kinch 6/4/1901, and a J Kinch interred 9/3/1904 age 2 months. In the 1920 census Stewart (spelled Steward) is living with Violet and children Steward Jr(age 10). and Alice Fay (age 19) at 1105 Second St.(Blair Juniata ED 96)There is an Alice Kinch in Fairview interred 3/17/1980 age 69. i could not find Stewart in the 1910 Miracode, either.

I am hoping someone can help me find out more about the family of Stewart Blanchard Kinch, Sr. He was born 12/6/1863 and died in 1921. On 6/28/1899, he married Violet Jackson. I know he had a son, Stewart B. Kinch, Jr., whom I believe was born about 1910. He also had a daughter, Alice Faye Kinch. I cannot seem to locate Stewart in the 1910 census. I have not yet had a chance to search the 1920 census. In the 1930 census, Stewart Jr. was living with Bertha Kinch. I'm not sure how she fits in. Stewart Sr. is buried in Grandview Cemetery in Juniata. If there is anyone who can view the census image for 1920, and can find this family, I would greatly appreciate knowing what it says. Also, maybe someone can have better luck than I did finding them in the 1910 census. They should have been living in the Juniata section of Altoona. I am using the 1910 miracode index from Ancestry.com, and I suppose his name is not spelled the way it should be. Finally, if anyone has access to the cemetery records, that would be worth a try too. Thank you in advance, Debbie Fisher
