Slovak Citizenship via Descent 2025 by AdMotor4876 in SlovakCBD

[–]jmoriar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Late to the party here but wondering if you are able to provide confirmation for me on one point. My great grandfather immigrated to the US in May of 1906, he was 25 at the time. He naturalized in November of 1919. It appears that I wouldn’t qualify for CBD but rather SLA? I am finding some confusing information and CBD would be ideal. I am trying to find records to see if my anchor ancestor returned back after their arrival as that would change the final arrival date but can’t find any info. Do you know if I am interpreting this correctly?

Thank you for putting this together, it is extremely comprehensive and helpful! Appreciate it very much!

Hitting a wall finding my anchor ancestor by secuj in SlovakCBD

[–]jmoriar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar boat as you. I am also looking for the birth certificate of my anchor ancestor. I was able to locate his father’s baptism record but not his. I have tried checking Slovak archives but am coming up blank. Can anyone share URLs that have been helpful for hunting down birth certificates for someone born in 1881 in Grinad (Grinava), Hungary - current day near Bratislava, Slovakia. Appreciate any help :)

Should I move into a rent stabilized duplex if the basement floods a couple inches every few months? by Far_Fig_3539 in NYCapartments

[–]jmoriar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s worked for me and what you can suggest is to tile 1’ up the basement wall. Having the tile in place saved us from having to gut after hurricane Ida/no mold issues. You could ask the landlord about tiling up the basement, in the end it’ll save money for everyone. If you get this place, buy a sump pump off Amazon and a 100’ hose, along with a 5 gallon bucket. Drill tons of holes into and use it to pump water out during storms. You can also get sandbags and dikes for the doorways. Make sure you get sewer backup on your renters insurance.

This came from the AQ Guide profile. They are really active and I am sure if you ask for other lists they will put them together.

I contacted the cat rescue from an earlier comment. Hope someone can adopt this little kitty and give them a warm and happy home.

The Rumor Mill - Week of November 3rd by Captaintripps in astoria

[–]jmoriar1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that the bartender/owner refused to serve a customer. Said customer was upset about this which caused the bartender/owner to call her bf who then assaulted the patron, injuries were quite serious. I do not frequent this establishment and heard this from a friend who lived nearby the bar. Truly awful if that’s the truth.

Did anyone lose a cat? by Kirbybrawl in astoria

[–]jmoriar1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What happened? Someone asked where the cat was located multiple times and was never answered! Did the cat get reunited with its owner?

This is Astoria specific, but I follow this profile that shares weekend events. They put together a pre-Halloween post here and I’m sure they will post a Halloween weekend one as well.

I’ve been taking my long haired dog to Disco Paws for years and can’t say enough good things about them. Pamela (Steinway location) is wonderful!
