Most of the research results came from the Federal and Municipal Archives in Manhattan. The public records used included birth records, baptismal records, marriage certificates, brides' and grooms' indexes, death certificates, and census reports. Some of the records used came from Yonkers city records, phone books, and school records. For more recent research, social security applications were used.
This brings us to where we are today, who we are today, and how we got here.
