The James Gunnell listed may provide a clue as to Susan Beach's maiden name - James may be her brother. Unfortunately you wouldn't find her listed in any previous federal census as only HOHs were listed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margy Bousman" <mbousman7@cox.net> To: <WashingtonDC-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 9:47 PM Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] Advice > 1850 Census.

Hello List, I need some advice. I am new to DC research. I have recently discovered a possible ancestor. His name is William BEACH. He was interred in Glenwood Cemetery on 26 July 1857. How should I go about finding out more about this person. Since the cause of death was listed as drowning there may have been a newspaper item on his death. He was 32 years old and his occupation was "tinner." Any advice on how to proceed greatly appreciated.

Try the following url. It has a list of links to Jewish Cemeteries in Washington, DC and the surrounding area. http://www.jirs.org/jirs/key796.htm This one has information about Jewish Cemeteries worldwide. http://www.jewishgen.org/Cemetery/ and http://www.jewishgen.org might be of interest to someone researching Jewish genealogy.

There is also a Jewish Cemetery in Oxon Hill, MD at St. Barnabas Road and Wheeler Road. Dottie Ormond Beach, FL

Dear Tommie, I'm not quite sure what you are asking me for. Are you seeking various methods of researching these individuals or how to obtain their birth records? I am just beginning myself. I have been doing internet genie research less then six months, so if SKS has any helpful additions or corrections please do set the record straight or assist us with your more extensive knowledge. I can tell you right now that they didn't necessarily have birth certificates/records because they weren't required prior to 1871 in Washington, DC but I can tell you from family experience that some individuals born up until at least 1820 in Washington, DC in my own family didn't have birth certificates. So that period of time wouldn't be covered by mandatory records. Birth certificates in the state of Maryland are found below: Registration Form The civil recording of births began in 1875 for Baltimore City and 1898 for Maryland counties. Birth records are restricted for 100 years after the date of birth and are available only to the ... http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/forms/html/ birthmail.html - 6.5KB - MD: 4, birth: 15, certificate: 10, When MD...: 7 70% 05 Aug 02 Find Similar Civil Birth Record Search Request The civil recording of births began in 1875 for Baltimore City and 1898 for Maryland counties.

Also, some parts of DC were still covered by MD for various record keeping purposes during that period in time. If you want my suggestions where to look - have you tried the census? city directories? land, marriage, and will probate records if they had property and you know enough about where, & when to make looking feasible. If you start with the census and city directories you may find enough to be able to start looking in the other places. I don't know off hand when city directories were started in this area so this may or may not be a good idea. Have you joined the MD or DC lists and requested any look-ups? Do you know about the Martin Luther King, Jr., Library which has a Washingtoniana room with considerable historical and genealogical information? It has a webpage with information. Do you know about the Washington, DC & MD Historical Society and the many MD & VA county Historical Societies many of these counties adjoin/abut Washington, DC and most if not all have WebPages. Have you done a Google.com search for the names with genealogy typed in at the end or a Google.com search for research facilities such as but not limited to the above? Have you checked all the genealogy websites? Have you joined the rootsweb.com DeVaughn name list that one can subscribe to? Have you looked at all the general genealogy rootsweb.com lists that have tips on how to research your ancestors on them and browsed the archives to see if they are helpful or worth joining? Does any of this help or have you done all this already?

I don't know if there's a Jewish cemetery in D.C., but there is an old Jewish cemetery in Alexandria near Old Towne. It overlooks I-95 just before the Woodrow Wilson bridge.

Does anyone know how early births were recorded in Washington DC? I have an ancestor that was born in June of 1865 and I would really like to know if I can obtain a birth record for him. Thanks, Deb Purcell Glendale, AZ

Barbara, According to 'The History of Providence Hospital 186-1961' found in "The Records of the Columbia Historical Society" Washington, DC 1960-1962, the original hospital opened in June 1861 in a large house known as the Nicholson Mansion at the corner of 2nd and D Streets, se. The facilities continued to expand at the same location until "...the last piece of property was bought on August 13, 1897 and Providence then owned the entire square 764 in southeast Washington...." I don't know if that particular "square" could have stretched to I street but maybe this helps some.

Does anyone on this list know the address of the OLD Providence Hospital which was located in SE DC? I know the current hospital is on Varnum Street NE. My husband's grandfather died in 1899 in Providence Hospital. The record of his death states that he was a resident of Washington, DC, for 11 days prior to his death residing at 211 I Street SE. Since he was a lifelong resident of Prince George's County, Maryland, I wondered if the I street address was the address of Providence Hospital. I asked on the City Directories list, but everyone that furnished an address (so far) furnished the Varnum St address. I know that Providence Hospital moved to Varnum Street within my lifetime. I also remember occasionally passing the site of the old hospital in Southeast many years ago, when I was driving to or from my job in DC. Barbara
