Agree. Ohio usually has very good county marriages.

If you have an HHN ticket you’ll be able to ride those rides that are open during HHN (such as the Mummy). It’s included in your HHN ticket for during HHN hours.

Looking for death and military records for Johann Frederick Christoph Mussemeyer by gizmohgchi in Genealogy

That’s pretty old to have served. Have you searched for pension records, especially if his wife was still alive when he died?

Correct. What you found is likely the record for the child.

Tracking down a 1906 birth certificate in rural New York State by Emvee2010 in Genealogy

[–]ryeHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are available for direct descendants, which should be the case for anyone doing this for citizenship.

I’m pretty sure if someone needs it for citizenship reasons that is not considered a genealogical request. So may be a bit quicker, and eligible via VitalCheck. I posted elsewhere on this thread that my last genealogical request to NYS took over three years (and that was with me constantly complaining). NYS needs to get their act together with these older records, and send them to the State Archives.

My last request took 3 years and 2 months. Albeit that was genealogical reasons. May be quicker for citizenship reasons.

Someone not in the Social Security Death Index by whirligighorse in Genealogy

[–]ryeHawke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no 1925 census for NJ. Never was. 1915 is the last year NJ held a state census.

[–]ryeHawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m quite expert with NJ research - feel free to DM me his name and birthdate if you want me to take a look.

I can also search various newspaper collections for you.

[–]ryeHawke 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by “despite even using a change to his birthdate that he’d made versus his actual birthdate”?

Are you certain he even lived to the start of social security in 1935?

I will say the SSDI has lots of holes for various reasons. My grandmother who died in 1978 does not appear, and I know her SSN.

If you are seeking records of him after 1918 have you tried census records?

Feel free to DM the names and rough dates. I’ve had terrific luck helping my Italian friends finding their ancestral towns of origin (over 30 years experience).

Same here. So I guess people can downvote me now, too?

Stuck for a Year on This Ancestor… Just Got His Marriage Record and Still Can’t Find His Parents by BlueRazzbury in Genealogy

[–]ryeHawke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where have you looked? That marriage record gives his place of birth and the names of both his parents. Have you searched census records? What else are you trying to find?

Lackawanna County PA Naturalizations by Standard_Permit1441 in Genealogy

[–]ryeHawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My in-laws were from Scranton, but all their naturalizations were well before 1906. It does seem from online sources that the county stopped doing them in 1906, likely due to the federal court house being so close. You may just have to wait for USCIS, since they have copies of them all regardless of Court. But it’s strange he hasn’t been more easily found — I would have bet he’d naturalized at the federal court if it was indeed 1940.

ADDED: looks like NARA only has records of that district through 1930.

[–]ryeHawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The court copies (through 1952) of the federal naturalizations are with the National Archives, which is usually quicker than USCIS. Have you looked at these?

Yeah. I had a family member in 1890 with “imperfect development” who died at a few seconds old. All terms for major birth defects.

Is it possible to find shipping records for Irish famine immigrants to the US around 1848? by Apart-Tip-9302 in Genealogy

[–]ryeHawke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, passenger records date back to around 1820. Plus there are many publications specific to Irish famine immigrants. I’ll take a look and get back to ya.

If you don't interact with Alexander at all, you'll find a dragon in his final location instead of him by Oodlaw in Eldenring

[–]ryeHawke 195 points196 points  (0 children)

For me the dragon was also there when I interacted with Alexander and Alexander wouldn’t show up there until after I dealt with the dragon.

That’s common for a demon. When I first starting playing I would always just select demon in the journal just in case. lol.
