United States of America / Re: Naturalizations for Yonkers, NY residents
« on: Wednesday 22 September 10 19:46 BST (UK)  »
Wow, what a resource of old newspapers that is!!!!  I found things I would never think to even look for!!!!   

In doing research of family that lived in South Amboy, NJ, their South Amboy Citizen issues were also scanned and are searchable.   However, it is very tedious (but not impossible for those determined to find something!) because their facility doesn't allow for a global search as the Post Card one you recommended.  You have to download each issue and then search thru the PDF file.   Their issues go from 1910 - 1944 and then 1946 - 2000.  Here is the link in case anyone has family in that area:

Thank you so much.  I'm used to doing Brooklyn and NYC but my husbands family was from Yonkers.   I appreciate your taking the time to share your knowledge!

United States of America / Naturalizations for Yonkers, NY residents

Where would I look for records of naturalization if the person lived in Yonkers, NY which is Westchester county?    Would they have had to apply thru New York City?

Have just found out that Charles McCafferty and Rose Diver and children (from previous post) born in Ire. Came to the US and settled in Illinois.   They had two more children here, John Robert and Katie (Catherine J).  Many census records found.....and several marriage in Illinois for some of the children.

Donegal / Re: Cornelius Doherty - 1787 - 1902 Ballymacarthur

I have since found out that he died 22 Jan 1902 in Balymacarter, Moville at age 115.    Any idea which cemetary would be closest??

Also looking for info on any other children besides Arthur and any possible marriage(s).   If he was alive that long, there could have been multiple marriage and dozens of children!

I meant the mormom family search site and the microfilm of the actual details - I realize I already have the details from the index.  THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

THANK YOU!  I got it now!   For some reason nothing was coming up when I did my pilot searches.  Maybe it's me......but now I can order the tape from LDS
and get the parents names.    THANK YOU SO MUCH for sending the direct link.
And I see what was meant when you said to search once for Grace Quigg Marriage and then 2nd for Michael and crosss reference the Film Nos, page and volume.....Enlightened I am!   THANKS!

I can't find that marriage (1876) on LDS or irishgeneology.i.e

However, I did find the Michael Doherty/Grace Quigg family on the 1901 Census at House #3 Ferryrane, Castlecarey and on the 1911 census at house #27 in Tiryrone, Castlecary. 
Michael Doherty was a shoemaker.  Daughters Cassie & Teresa were seamstresses; Son Philip also a shoemaker, other children: Mary Josephine; Nicholas (the one I know a lot about), Patrick, Michael, James Joseph and Rosetta.

Would still like to learn Michael Doherty's parents and possible other siblings so I can make the connection to my tree.
