Any NEHGS Members?

preist99 — 2009-11-19 21:44:24Z

There is a manuscript currently held at NEHGS (I have a call number). It is a copy of a hand written note. Unfortunately, I cannot request a copy because I am not a NEHGS member. Is there any member out there who would be willing to obtain this on my behalf?

I was a former member of NEHGS and was unhappy with my experience. I don't want to have to pay $75 on top of a search fee just to get a copy of a copy of a document which was probably given to them for free!

I would pay any fees associated with the search and photocopies. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am new to genealogy and I was wondering how do I go about locating free info on Civil War records.

Thanks

Google is your friend.

Just enter "Civil War Records" and "Free" (both with quotation marks) and you'll get about 114,000 hits.

Re: 1930 U.S. Census: Cleo MUNN, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY

vanrcwisner — 2009-11-18 20:58:54Z

You're probably right about the obit being wrong. Census records for the Mackey family in 1900, 1910 and 1920 don't show a Cleo either. Thanks for looking!

Re: 1930 U.S. Census: Cleo MUNN, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY

KathieDunham58 — 2009-11-18 20:30:47Z

I did some checking for you. I could not find a Cleo Munn.

I did find obit for Lizzie Mackey, widow of Reuben Mackey. She died 9-1928 Hartford. It lists her daughters as Mary Stevens, Anna Jameson, Viola Norfleet and Bertha Lee, sons Reuben and Obie.

Maybe the mention of Cleo Munn was a mistake in the obit.

1930 U.S. Census: Cleo MUNN, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY

vanrcwisner — 2009-11-18 15:58:48Z

Can someone look in Ancestry's search index for the 1930 US Census for New York for a Cleo MUNN (female, unknown age). She is mentioned as "Mrs. Cleo Munn of Brooklyn, NY" in Anna (Mackey) JAMESON's 1934 obituary from The Hartford Courant. They were sisters.

Thanks,

Re: Cherokee Chief Nettle Carrier of Overton County, TN.

caridad2 — 2009-11-18 05:27:59Z

I also am a descendent of Hanna Thatcher through the Copeland line. I understood that it was questionable whether she was actually a daughter of Nettle Carrier. I would be very interested in the information that Cloe has. If you could/would pass it on or send this and my email address to her I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you, C. Baker

Help finding danish ancestors in the US. Surname: BACH

hoejvang1 — 2009-11-13 09:47:27Z

I need some help to find out what happened to my great-great grandfathers two brothers that left for the US.
Here are some informations on the brothers:

- Sophus Bach, male, born 1. June 1877 in Viborg, Denmark. Left Copenhagen 2. January 1904, destination: Chicago

- Carl Baars Bach, male, born 25. June 1882 in Viborg Denmark. Left Denmark 29. May 1913, destination: New York
Travelled with his wife (Petra Bach 25 years old) and his daughter (Carla Bach 1 years old).

The parents names are Carl Christian Bach and Maria Sophia Henriette Baars.

I do not know if they died in the US or returned back to Denmark. Maybe their names where changed because of translation problems :)

If somebody could help me tracking them down in the US,that would be perfect, since i am living in Denmark :)
I would also be thankful for any information that would help me finding them through the Internet.

Best regards
Peter Christensen

Hi,

I've just bought a 1-month membership to www.military-genealogy.org.uk so I could access 1 record. It seems to be mostly the stuff from the CWGC with a few extra details. Apparently it can be used as an alternative to the next-of-kin process as well. Has anybody got any lookups they want me to perform?

Thanks

HELEN DRAKE, Laurelton, NY, 1951 - phone book and/or city directory lookup

kinhunter25 — 2009-11-07 22:48:20Z

Is there someone who could find the party below in a Laurelton, NY, 1951 City Directory or phone book and/or could do a lookup for the address given in 1951? If you don't find her but find a Helen at that address in 1951, what was her last name on the offhand chance she may have remarried? This is genealogical research and this party is a clue in breaking down a long-standing brickwall.

Helen Drake living at 138-48 231st Street, Laurelton, Long Island, New York in 1951. She would have been about 64 at the time. There may or may not have been a Charles Francis Drake, (son) born in Illinois about 1908 or Kathleen Anna Drake, (daughter) born in Illinois about 1910 living with her. These are her two children.

I would be grateful for this information as well but it is not that important. What kind of building was at this address, such as an apartment complex, etc?

Would someone mind looking up this family at Ancestry.com in the 1910 census, probably in Marion Co., Georgia? I only have (immediate) access to HeritageQuest and I've heard Ancestry has better image quality...

MACKEY, Reuben and Lizzie; husband and wife; ages about 40 & 44 respectively; both black; several children are listed in their 1900 census entry: Mary, Annie, Viola, Ellen, Vernon, Ruben (Jr.), George, John and Jessie.

Can anyone do a lookup on the electoral roll for the Willesden area of London (held at Willesden Library) ? I am looking for a D.Mead (female) of 115 Randall Avenue, Neasden, London, between 1960 and 1975. Information I was hoping for is the first name and others living in that household. :-)

Hi. I'm trying to find a marriage or birth for Sidney George Mead(s) born around 1874 in either Paddington or Marylebone, London. His wife was Mary Ann Davis b. abt 1863 in Marylebone, London. The 1911 census says they had been married 14 years. I have their death certificates and burial records and various certificates for their children but they haven't given me and clues. Can you help or suggest what I should do next? There is a possible on the 1881 census for Sidney but without birth/marriage cert I can't be sure if its the right one. I can't find him on the 81/91 census either.

claireco_1,

I have pair of census records (1920 and 1930) which I think might be for my ancestor's household, but I'm not sure. I also have a 1910 census record which I think might be of that same ancestor as a teenager living with his own parents, but I'm also not sure of that because I don't know what his parents names were supposed to have been. They were Jewish, and I was thinking that if I could find synagogue records of some kind that could confirm addresses or parents' names, that would be able to help me decide for certain whether it's the right person. Do you know where I could find these records, or which synagogues might hold them, based on the addresses provided in the census records? They lived in Manhattan and the Bronx.

Thanks!

Re: Help Offered

Gniezno — 2009-09-29 15:12:59Z

If you can find the 1920 and 1930 census records for that family, that might give you a place to start. You also might be able to find a World War 1 or 2 draft card for some family members.
