Randy'...Oh, Dara, I'm celebrating with you! Randy's post on those NYC records has brought a lot of joy to the genealogy community.<br /><br />Although New York is a challenging place to research (it seems individuals get swallowed up in the mass of humanity), there are several other free-access sites available. Brooklyn had their own newspaper during that era (the Eagle) where you might find some mentions of family members...perhaps even an obit. Also, about that truant home entry: did you check the column on occupation in that federal census? It seems odd that the man and his entire family would live there--unless he was working there and was paid in room and board (plus stipend).<br /><br />Best wishes on your continued searching, across the pond. Oh, how I wish some of our Irish cousins would come looking for me :)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900963722618733171.post-38507214110016012732015-03-28T08:57:42.026+00:002015-03-28T08:57:42.026+00:00Thanks Cathy, I really do get a buzz out of it!Thanks Cathy, I really do get a buzz out of it!Dara https://www.blogger.com/profile/16643201998217385573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900963722618733171.post-88438196560010417662015-03-28T08:29:59.394+00:002015-03-28T08:29:59.394+00:00Don't you just love it when someone hands you ...Don't you just love it when someone hands you a key (you hear about an as yet unknown database), you try it out and find yourself opening the door to your brick wall!
