Hello Listers Hoping some one can help me. I have had some very good assistance for my SURGANTY search. My last correspondent found a marriage registration for William Surganty in New Jersey - however she can only do lookups for this state. His mother's name was listed as Hortence T. LAYER - however, I feel LAYER is not a particularly German name - perhaps FAYER; SAYER; BAYER;MAYER? William's siblings are: 1) My great grandmother Sophie SURGANTY m Henry ANDERS in Elmira, Chemung County NY on 10th Oct 1870 at Grace Episcopal Church - she was born in 1855 in Elmira, NY 2) Frederick Charles SURGANTY m Jessie C (no surname) - possibly New York or Illinois - he was born in December 1860 in Elmira NY 3) George SURGANTY m Susana A SMITH c 1885 - Possibly New York - he was born October 1864 in Elmira NY Hoping you can help regards Chris Anders-Tritt Sydney Australia -----Original Message----- From: Michelle Chubenko [SMTP:famhist@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 3:19 AM To: anderstritt@ihug.com.au Subject: SURGANTY Marriage State of New Jersey Marriage Return William J.
