Would anyone have access to the 1900 DC Census? I'm looking for a George W. Campbell who may be listed as a widower? My great aunt, Mary Lillian Mattingly Campbell, died in 1894 less than two years after marrying a George W. Campbell. She is buried in Oxon Hill, MD, St. Ignatius CC with her Mattingly family but George W. Campbell is only noted on her tombstone. From their wedding announcement, they were both from DC in 1892. Thanks for any assistance. Best regards, Elizabeth Culhane Fairport, New York

Hi, Wondering if anyone has access to the 1920+ DC City Directories? I'm looking for any Maguire's who might be listed. If you can assist me, kindly email me. Best regards, Elizabeth Culhane Fairport, New York

Hi All, My grandmother, Mabel Emma Rawlings, wrote in numerous letters (circa 1905-08) of a "WILSON NAIRN." I believe he was just a boy at the time. In sorting through a box of her photographs, I have come across an excellent photo of Wilson Nairn as a young man. Is anyone researching the Nairn family? Sherry Simpson Houston

Can anyone tell me where I could fing records for the German Lutheran Zion Church which at one time was at 614 "N" Street N.W.? Thanks, Tim Jachowski

Sorry I don't have the direct #, but if you call DC Department of Health, ask to speak with Mr. Urbane Bass. He's been very helpful to me in locating death certificates when the staff has sent "no record found" responses. He is the only person that I'll deal with in that department. Good luck!

Hi. First of all, sorry if you receive duplicates, but I wanted to send this to both DC lists. I have a very urgent request especially since the Dept. of health in DC is not being very helpful. My grandmothers cousin is very ill and has been in 2 sanitariums here in Wisconsin. Her will has been lost, as most of her personal papers. She is dying and we'd like to make funeral arrangements for her, but want to be sure we'd do the right thing. She is a Christian Scientist, and belongs to the order of the Eastern Star. Her parents are buried here in Wisconsin. She never married, had no children. We are her closest relative, but we never talked about arrangements. SO.. To make the story short, her sister, who she lived with most of her life, died while they were living in Washington, DC. I have her social security report saying her death place was Lynn House, Washington, DC. I wrote to the (Vital Statistics) Dept. of Health in DC for her Death Certificate, paid the $12.00 and received a "CERTIFICATE OF SEARCH" from them stating they have no evidence of her death. It is imperative that I find her death certificate to find her place of burial, if any. We don't know if she was cremated, or perhaps donated her body to science, and we'd like to know, knowing that both sisters would have made the same choices. A direct phone number to someone at the Dept. of Health (Not to a phone line answered by a machine), r If anyone can help me out, it would be wonderful. The information I need is for Verna or Verne Schult, born Oct 26, 1891 in Wis. Died January 15, 1985, at Lynn House Sanitarium, Washington, DC. If it helps, her sister's name is Veryl Schult. Any leads would be appreciated. Thank you so much, Sally Lauersdorf Hagen Waukesha, WI

To the folkd who are planning to go from DC to Annapolos:I would NOT recommend going to Annapolis by way of Archives2 at College Park MD. If you are staying in the Wash DC area, I recommend you rent a car and drive over. Cab fare over there and back would be more than a day's car rental. BJ
