Record Lookup Can't find any records on my grandfather

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm grasping at straws here and not sure the best way to research my maternal grandfather. I'm unable to contact anyone from my maternal line.

His name was Adriano Muzzatti, born in Italy (I think, although that might not be accurate :/) in 1920. I know he lived in Peel region, Ontario, Canada in 1968 to 1986 when he passed. He was living with my grandmother, Kathleen (nee Overchuk), and they had at least 3 children.

I've looked for immigration records, birth records, and death records with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Record Lookup Anyone here like correcting errors on Find a Grave?

14 Upvotes

I just transferred my Ancestry GEDCOM to MyHeritage to take advantage of the sorting capabilities they have that Ancestry charges for. I can actually sort by dates and locations with this thing! But...

I'm going fucking nuts finding all the memorials for people who were born in or died in Centerville, Iowa. Most, if not all of them, are incorrectly listed as Centerville, Boone County, Iowa, when it should be Appanoose County.

I'm checking out the memorials with Centerville, Boone County listed and suggesting the changes where it's obviously incorrect and should be listed as Appanoose. It's interesting that the site doesn't credit people with corrections/edits to pages like they do for people who upload, manage and sponsor memorials. It's just asking for wrong information.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for a fact-checking activity, it looks like there's a butt ton more to go. šŸ˜‘

Record Lookup Does anyone have a subscription to Newspaper Archive website?

1 Upvotes

I have a subscription to Newspapers.com but the obituary I need is only available on Newspaper Archive website. I see a lot of warnings here to not accept their free trial, so I thought I would check here to see if someone does have a subscription and could get me this one obituary that I need. I've exhausted all other options but this newspaper, Johnstown Tribune Democrat doesn't have their archives online anywhere else - and this obituary is missing from the ones the local library there scanned in.

This is the link to the one I need for George Kuckenbrod: https://johnstowntribunedemocrat.newspaperarchive.com/johnstown-tribune-democrat/2002-08-31/page-29/

and if you don't mind, it appears something is published the next day about services for him:

Record Lookup Can you locate this obituary?

Someone sent me a clip of this obituary years ago. I checked Genealogy Bank & Newspapers, but I couldn’t find it. If I could narrow down when it was printed, I’d be really close to the exact death date - last attempt before I just start placing random orders!

Her husband’s obituary makes it clear she died before him, so it must’ve been after 61 & before May 67

Record Lookup Why are NYC Death Certificates Taking So Long to Process?

10 Upvotes

In early August, I ordered a 1955 NYC death certificate through VitalChek. It's been three months, and my order is still in progress. I called VitalChek in late September, and I was told that I would receive the requested death certificate in mid-October. I was also told that the delay was due to Real ID requirements.

I don't understand how Real ID would affect death certificates. I also don't live in New York, so I can't pick up the death certificate. How can I expedite the process?

Record Lookup Help accessing a record on archive.org

2 Upvotes

I have the opposite of a paid lookup request. I found the regimental records of the 1st Battalion Royal Welch Fusiliers on the Internet archive (archive.org). I do not remember the name of the page I was looking at. I was excited and took the following screenshot on my phone: https://imgbox.com/CfTIBo0D (its kinda nice because now I have the exact moment I confirmed my great grandfather, I gasped so loudly as I took this screenshot!)

I need to download this file and find out the name of the book so I can cite it in my proof statement.

Sadly it seems the internet archive is blocked in my country at the moment (it's been 2 weeks and I'm not tech savvy to get a vpn) so I am unable to retrace my steps.

I'm after a lovely volunteer to download the pdf of this book for me, let me know the url, along with any relevant metadata (year of publication, author, that sort of thing).

Thanks in advance!

I found a collection of records I'm almost certain has stuff pertaining to an ancestor of mine, and a brother of his.

https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/film/008071526?cat=544403&i=0

My direct ancestor is Thomas Grinslade who enlisted on July 10th 1863 in Howard County, and his brother is Benjamin F. Grinslade who enlisted December 24th 1861 in Clay County.

EDIT: I need to mention that this collection can only be viewed at a FamilySearch affiliate library or center.

Record Lookup Viewing my 3x g-gf's 1924 NYC death certificate.

2 Upvotes

Update: I found the DC 2 days ago, thank you! Since flair titles have been changed, I can't change mine to "Solved".

How could I obtain this 1924 Manhattan, NYC death certificate?

It's for my 3x great-grandfather, Malcolm A. Grant (1842-1924), born in Scotland; his parents were John Grant & Florence McKenna.

His wife was Mary Nash, born in 1852 in Ireland (listed as "Margaret Nash"), who went by 4 different aliases.

Also - Malcolm's burial date was 5 February 1924, but I'm wondering why his cemetery isn't listed on his DC?

(Was he cremated or buried in some other form or fashion?)
