I found the following index card in the Queens County NY Probate index. I found the 1884 Administration papers on the LDS site. https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1916211

I am looking for the will itself and am assuming that the citation means Liber Q page 176. How would i find this? I am sure there must be an easier way that i have been trolling the web pages looking for this.

Thank you for any advice Kristin

I am going back to square one with my ancestor George William Burke. I only know for sure the following information based on his marriage and death record in the US, draft record, obituary and US census records. And also following his sisters records.

George William Burke was born January 5, 1875-78 in England to William Burke and Harriet Stone. He immigrated to the US in 1886. His sister Dorothy Burke was born July 6, 1880 in England and married Roland Seaman in NY.

I do know George was a Catholic his entire life.  I have not been able to find a census in 1881, birth record on GRO that matches him . I have ordered some with no good results. I cannot find his parents marriage.

I was wondering if there is a location for Catholic records in England that i can access or request a search.

Database of individuals died in Quarantine at the Hospitals for Contagious Diseases which were located on Hoffman and Swinburne Islands in Richmond County, New York. Most of them were immigrants en route to Ellis Island who were removed from ships in the outer harbor of the port of New York by the New York State Medical Inspectors and transferred to these two hospitals. Their families would have continued on to Ellis Island for inspection and probably were detained while awaiting the disposition of the sick child or family member.

This list was compiled by reviewing all Death Certificates from November 1909 through June 1911 that were registered in Richmond County (Staten Island), NY and identifying those deaths which occurred on either Hoffman or Swinburne Islands.

 Family Search has put New York, Queens County Probate Records, 1899-1921 online. I have been browsing trying to find some records since they are not indexed. I know the exact date of death and have the death record.  Yet as i browse, there seems to be not linear organization by date.

Question- Is there an index available to the Queens County , NY Probate Records? Or does anyone have a suggestion on how the find a specific record?

Thank you. I have spent about 4 hours plus so far just scanning the pages and have had no luck and now a stiff neck  .
