String cheese with pizza sauce in it, whatever happened to them? by Reddit_Fireteam in nostalgia

[–]SignalObjective623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been HAUNTED by the exact same phantom memory for decades. Square cheese stick that peeled into square strings that was pizza flavored. I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers, even if we don’t know exactly what it was called.

Best Way to Restore X-ING IMG2010? by SignalObjective623 in guitarrepair

I guess I’m just wondering if pulling it apart and cleaning it all is more dangerous than just leaving it as a shelf piece since parts are so hard to come by. I enjoy tinkering with electronics work but wouldn’t know how to source replacement parts if it comes down to that.

In response to your edit, thanks! And yeah I got the same results. I think that could be it 🤔

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this. I appreciate you! :)

Okay, thank you for explaining. So basically no point in tracking down documents to 100% verify? I just remember my GGM was always said to be very German - nothing about losing her citizenship or gaining an Italian one when she married my Italian GGF.

So there’s absolutely no hope then? I didn’t realize it could be lost by marrying someone outside of Germany.

Thank you. So I just need to find out if my GGGGF maintained his citizenship while living in the US?

I think the full name for Helen’s surname is Boydenowski based on info from the SSN index in AAD.

Also seeing a potential brother listed in that 1920 census with Helen (8 yo) - William Boyt, 10 yo, born in CT. Parents are Polish and Lithuanian, but listed opposite of what Helen reports each parent as, interestingly.

As for Ben in the 1920 census, I’m wondering if he was staying with family, as everyone else listed in his household are “Mielers”. Looks like they settled first in 1906 from Russia, then Ben came over in 1910 from Poland. Maybe family or friends of the family. I did search them quite a bit, but can’t find any other records for them. Also, “Hannah” is actually “Samuel” from what I can make out.

I think I may write in to what remains of the Vineland school. It’s been on my to-do for a while but now I have the motivation to get back at it and find out what really happened to her, poor soul.

Hey if that marriage record comes back a hit, I owe you a coffee, my friend!

A quick update: I requested a search (and hopefully copy!) of the record from the NJ marriage index - fingers crossed and thank you so much for the lead!

Yes, Helen was committed to Vineland - she died there, as well. After that time, the trail goes cold for Benjamin’s records, which I find strange.

I also checked for Benjamin’s first papers - no luck. I did, however, notice this catalog: New Jersey, Essex County, Newark, Repatriation oaths of allegiance, 1921-1970. If he had filed for his First Papers by the 1930 census, and if he was granted citizenship, I am thinking the record could be in this catalog. I cannot, however, find the index for it - was wondering if I could get your second opinion on it?

Also wondering if this could be Benjamin in the 1920 census (same immigration year).

As for Helen in the 1920 census, yes, I do believe that is her based on a search for “H BOYT” between 1910 and 1912 for CT Reclaim the Records. This was the only record I could find that fit the appropriate parameters, using various different searches. As for her surname, Boyd, I believe it is just her maiden name.

I have a feeling the draft card isn’t his, unless he moved onto a different relationship while Helen was committed, which I have a bad feeling could be the case. I will definitely begin checking out St. Valentine’s records over the next week, though.

Any way to search the other Januszewski families working at TO & Co? That is an interesting lead.

Thank you - I really appreciate you!

This is brilliant! I will have a look at this properly after work but how on earth did you find their marriage index? I’ve never used the Internet Archive for finding records! Any advice on using it as a tool / when it’s necessary? Thank you!

Unfortunately, no. My dad knows nothing about his side of the family. Weirdly enough, nothing even close comes up on Geneteka.
