hi just been doing my auntys life in new york. and when i came to the children they where both in vally collage in clarkstown rockland new york.but they were only 2and 3 so why? its not important i am just curious
kathleen :

Maybe your aunt worked there and had the children with her, she could have been a housekeeper. Irene

Hi Irene that's a good suggestion.
Kathleen hasn't listed where the Mother was in the census.
My Anc# subs don't cover this.

Tina

Hi Tina mine dont either, maybe kathleen could scan the census for us Irene

hi irenew and tina hannah married francis duquite in new york 1924
and the 2 children are down as boarders at this collage at the age of 2 and 3,as far as i know she didnt work there.i didnt find them in the 1930 census only the children.but i google her name and up came the naturalization records for her ,but i dont understand them,and i sent for her marrage lines from new york and they tell me if she got married in a r c church i will have to apply to that church,how many rc churchs in new york. iam not very happy.
but thanks for gettin back to me. kathleen
A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL :

Hi Kathleen

Its very difficult to locate relatives that have emigrated and we all have to rely on Ancestry worldwide. You can access this at any Liverpool library free of charge. You could also try posting a help request on the New York Message Boards at the address below. They may be able to help you with your request. We hold a help desk at Liverpool Central Library 5th Floor William Brown Street on Tuesdays 1.30pm till 4pm if you require any help.

Hi Kathleen,

I have had a look at the 1930 census, I am not sure if the children were at a college, it is listed on previous pages as Valley Cottage, I have found a bit of info on it.

There is a website called www.italiangen.org on this website there is an ongoing index of New York marriages. Not all the parties are Italian.

This tells you how to apply for certifictae. On this site on the Vtal Database I found that

France Duquite married on 29 October 1924 in Kings County certificate numnber 14468

They have a downloadable form that you can use to request a copy of the certifictae.

Hope this helps
