One More place to look for possible familyconnections.

 

Our family of immigrants came from many different countries, but almost all of them ended up in the NYC area.
My ancestors came from Ireland, Northern Germany, Sweden and Norway.
My husband's family came from Ireland, England and Scotland.
Our Son-in-law's ancestors add Italy, Poland and Austria to the mixture -
while my step-daughter's line contributes Russian/Jewish.

 
 

My major Surname interests are:

  • BROWNE - Ireland to NYC's First Ward in the famine years
  • BOGEL - Zeven, Hanover, Germany to Brooklyn, NY about 1860

Over the years of searching for our families, I've collected an awful lot of puzzle pieces. Some fit and others don't.
Among the many other NYC area surnames that I have an interest in and in some cases, quite a bit of unconnected info on are:
BERSHATSKY, BLANK, BULLINS, BURNS, CASEY, DELANOI, DEMPSEY, DONAVAN, DROGE, EHLEN, EMERSON, FROHNHOFFER, GRADY, HENDERSON, HOGAN, HOOPS, JANS, JOSS, KELLY, LOFTUS, MANSFIELD, McKENNA, ROCKLEIN, SAHRBECK & SCHNOOR

There are CLUES in the following sections.
Please consider the information something that will lead you to more.
VERIFY it before using it as FACT. There are definitely more details to be found in the full record. Anyone who has worked with the NYC Vital records indexes knows that there are times that you just CANNOT make out the Certificate number.

Unless I've marked the entry Contact tdew it's unlikely that I have any more details about that particular item.
If it IS marked, please contact me. We may have much to share!!
