I am wanting to place a Celtic cross over the unmarked grave of an Irish relative in Holy Cross. Would anyone be aware of any Philly-area makers of Celtic crosses? I hope this is not too off-topic. Thanks. best, Paul

That should be "two", not "toe". Sndtenterprises Genealogical and Historical Research

The Urban Archives at Temple U. will have any newspaper article related to this. The Freedom of Information Act pertains to certain federal records. Sndtenterprises Genealogical and Historical Research

They were far from each other. Lower Dublin was in what is now the middle Northeast Philadelphia, could be 10 miles from Spring Garden and maybe another toe to Pine Ward. If you look at your map of Philadelphia, Cottman Ave. is the southern border of Lower Dublin and Poplar St. is the northern border of the Spring Garden District and Spruce St. was the northern border of Pine War, which bordered the Delaware River.

Hello to all on the list..... a question......my grandfather was killed in a car accident in 1952 in Philadelphia. i have the date, time, location and a very brief newspaper article on the incident. I am wondering if there is a way to obtain a copy of the police incident report or any other pertinent information about the acident? Would I contact the police dept, city archives or what? I know this one will be difficult, but I also know that this kind of information can be obtained if you get to the correct place. Is this a '"freedom of information act" type of request? Any thoughts on where to begin would be great.... have a great day! Joe Hunter, NJ

The only Island I know of is an avenue very far south in Philadelphia, next to the airport. There are no normally used islands in Philadelphia, with the possible exception of Hog Island, where I think there used to be a shipbuilding facility. The problem with my explanation is that there were a lot of name changes to streets in Philadelphia in the 1880's and 90's, to eliminate duplicate names. The City and County got the same boundaries about 1854, which resulted in duplicate street names like "Mill" because of the different little settlements in the county that had been built up. The Post Office or somebody forced removal of a great many of the duplicate names. So there may have been another Island Street or Avenue or Road, though I seriously doubt it. I don't know of any settlements with the word "Island" in them, either.

Could someone please tell me approximately how far Lower Dublin was from Spring Garden, both in Phil. Co. And also from Lower Dublin to Philadelphia Pine Ward. Thank you. Jacqui

Elizabeth, We were talking about a church at /on Island. is that a real Island or a street?

Hi, In the past few months, I've had very good success in researching Christian Schneyder of Philadelphia. I've received some city directory information from the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and, using an LDS microfilm, have found many family records from the First Reformed Church of Philadelphia, where Christian was living when he died [Sassafras/Race St.] Does anyone know which cemetery was used by that congregation? There is a reference to "the cemetery" on the microfilm, but the church is/was in Old Philadelphia and they moved to another location before returning to the original site. There were some Schneiders registered with the Upper Germantown Burying-Ground when it was new and in 1776, but it's impossible to know whether they belonged to the same family. Thanks. Pat

Elizabeth, Thank you so much for this information. If you could find out about the Church records for me. Then I will call them or I may have to write. Perhaps I can find out when they were married.

All the Lutheran Churches have now merged. Evangelical Lutheran, German Lutheran, plain Lutheran. I am not a member of the Lutheran church, but a sister-in-law is, and I think I can find out where the records are from her. That neighborhood has changed so thoroughly, 2 or 3 times since then, that most of those churches probably are not there. I did see records from St Jacobus once, at the Lutheran Seminary , 7301 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA. They may have an archive there. Elizabeth C Ann Brown wrote: >You must be in Philadelphia.

Hi all and thank you for the help My nearest LDS is over 30 miles away!! I had looked at their site and nothing came up. I had put his name in a search engine and that is how I came up with his travels to USA and the ship information. :) I didn't know if there was anything on line instead of me traveling as it is quite a way for me to go. I will get in touch with the library and see if they can help me. Again thanks and kind regards to all Berenice in Scotland

You must be in Philadelphia. Do you know if there is a Luthern or German Luthern Church office / Headquarters in town?

Hhi List This is the first time that I have mailed here, though I have been watching the list for a while. I do hope that someone can help me please. I have an ancestor named GEORGE LINKLATER born: 18 Sept 1874, Sandwick, Orkney, Scotland, who went to Phili in 1901 but died there 6 Jun 1902 He sailed on the Lucania from Liverpool 2nd November 1901 and arrived at New York, 9th November 1901. He is down as an Electrician in the 1901 census while he was with his Uncle George Taylor in Glasgow. He has an inscription on the family gravestone in Orkney but the don't say exactly where he died. ie: town, area etc. Could someone point me in the right direction to get this information please? I am also in Scotland so don't know how to go about getting records from the USA. Thank you for your time Berenice

Recently when I sent a request for death certificate, I was told the price was $10.00 although their web page still says $9.00 Jim C. -----Original Message----- From: PhilaResearch@aol.com [mailto:PhilaResearch@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 3:37 PM To: PAPHILAD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAPHL] Where to find death records? _http://www.phila.gov/phils/Docs/Inventor/genealgy.htm_ (http://www.phila.gov/phils/Docs/Inventor/genealgy.htm) ==== PAPHILAD Mailing List ==== To leave the list, send only the word UNSUBSCRIBE to mailto:PAPHILAD-L-request@RootsWeb.com for list mode or mailto:PAPHILAD-D-request@RootsWeb.com for digest mode ============================== View and search Historical Newspapers.

There is an e-mail address. The response to my e-mailed questions has sometimes come from the City Archivist, himself, which may speak to limited budget and staff. With the number of people doing family research, the Philly Archives may be overwhelmed with requests. They do have a lot of very good information.
