Hi all--
I am seeking the death record/burial record for
Mary Catherine (nee Steiner) BATDORF
She probably died in Northern Dauphin Co, PA between 1831-1850
(I cannot find her in any census after 1830)
She informally went by the name Catherine
Mary is also Maria, Marie and Batdorf is spelled many ways
(BADDORF, BATTORF, BUTTORF, POTTORF, PUTTORF, etc.)
Thanks, Marc

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and I'm looking for my great grandfather JOHN
BARRETT who came to Philadelphia from England in the 1860s. I find him
listed in William Filby's book, PHILADELPHIA NATURALIZATION RECORDS; ref.
974.811, an Index to court records. Problem is, I need to get a copy of the
original document and I don't know how to get them. Does anyone know the
address and the costs for the originals. Someone told me they were available
from the Detroit Public Library but that's wrong. They don't
I've continued to try to learn why I keep getting conflicting bits and
pieces of information about the death and burial of my mother's maternal
grandfather, Ezekiel COHAN (aka: Hyman COHEN).
According to his tombstone (which is in the name of Ezekiel COHAN), he
died Jan. 13, 1899, in Philly. BUT, it seems that his death certificate
(under either name) is not listed in the City Archives.
According to the cemetery records, which are kept in chronological
order, my mggf died Jan. 12, 1897. I've had several
New information regarding my problems with locating the death records
for my maternal great grandfather, Ezekiel COHAN (aka: Hyman or Haskell
COHEN).
I just got the translation of the Hebrew date of death inscription on
his tombstone. It says that he died on the 8th day of Shevat in the
year 5657. I went to the JewishGen calendar calculator online, and
typed in that date. It equates with Monday, January 11, 1897. THAT
makes sense when matched up to the burial records at Har Nebo Cemetery
in Phila. Sin
Hi, I find the records I need are at the Philadelphia City Archives but when
I do a search for it on Cyndi's List, the URL she has doesn't work so I can't
find the address. Does anyone have an address, website and/or phone number
for this place. Thanks, Sandi

It's not what you have in your life but
who you have in your life that counts.
My aplogies for the lengthy roll call list for the decendents of my
ancestors in my direct family
line. Some may have been confused about that part. My intentions were to
have lookups on
two of my oldest ancestors in my list sent to you. The rest of the names
were for private mailings
to make contact, connect, exchanges, and updates for those responding to my
roll call. It is
clear that Isaiah McNEESE and Bloomer WHITE are the ones that we need to
lookup because our
genealogies stop there with those two and

Concerning my comment about "City Arvchives not the easiest to work with", I
was there last summer and had a most frustrating time with their new
microfilm reader system. They were on timers where you put in a quarter for
15 minutes. After that the light goes off and you can't read your film
anymore. Hope you brought another quarter! Also the workers there had
missed the training on these new machines, so really couldn't help people
figure them out. Then there was some kind of printing dev

I visited Ivy Hill Cemetery this afternoon and offer the following
report for those who have interest:
Ivy Hill is located about 5 blocks south of Cheltenham Ave. close to the
Cedarbrook Mall and Holy Sepulchre Cem.
I hadn't visited there in many years and was very impressed. The grounds
were ablaze with azalea blossoms. The cemetery is well landscaped and
shows no signs of deterioration or vandalism. There seems to be a rather
high density of tombstones.
The cemetery opened in 1868. There were thre
LOOK UP AND UPDATE ON RECORDS:
Please do a look up of these names if you will. They are from the WHITE and
MCNEESE families. McNeese is spelled over 600 variations of spelling so you
have to look closely for them. They might be under the M's, Mc's, or N's.
These are the names, dates, locations that I am requesting for a lookup.
Anything that you have on the WHITE - MCNEESE families would be much
appreciated:

In what way is the Archives not the easiest place to work with?
I've only been to the Archives twice, once at the old building and once
at the new one at 30th St. I found the gentleman archivist who works
there extremely helpful, and also the woman who was working the day I
visited the older building. But at the 30th Street building there was a
girl who worked at reception desk who had a serious attitude problem.
She let me stand at the desk while completely ignorin

John Morrison was born in Philadelphia in around 1890. His mom, Kate
(Katherine) Morrison, we believe, was born & raised in Philadelphia.
Kate worked for a priest at a rectory in Philadelphia but no one can
seem to remember the name. If anyone has any information or can tell me
what parishes were in Philadelphia in around the early 1900s, I would
appreciate it. Thank you. Kathy
I am searching for ROBERT MCGREGOR, who is listed in the 1850 Phila. Co.
Census. He came from Scotland, but I don't know when. I would appreciate a

would be appreciated.

I am looking for the family of ANNA ELIZABETH MILLER. She was born in Phila.
Sept. 15, 1822 and died in Victoria, Texas October 12, 1875. Her parents
