Manhattan, New York City, New York:
Borough of New York City, coextensive with New York county, southeastern New York, U.S. The borough, mainly on Manhattan Island, spills over into the Marble Hill section on the mainland and includes a number of islets in the East River. It is bounded by the Hudson River (west), Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil Creek (northeast), East River (east), and Upper New York Bay (south). Manhattan is often mistakenly deemed synonymous with New York City.
In 1626 Peter Minuit, the first director general of New Netherland province, is said to have purchased the island from the local Indians (the Manhattan, a tribe of the Wappinger Confederacy) with trinkets and cloth valued at 60 guilders, then worth about 1 1/2 pounds (0.7 kg) of silver. The English took possession in 1664, the island having already been incorporated as the city of New Amsterdam in 1653. Renamed New York City when transferred to the British, it played a prominent role in the nation's early history, both militarily and politically. Congress met there (1785-90), and George Washington was inaugurated there in 1789 as the first U.S. president. In the 19th century, particularly following the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, Manhattan developed as the heart of a prosperous and expanding metropolis. In 1898 Greater New York was formed when Manhattan was joined with the newly created boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond, and the Bronx.

Oscar Arthur Moritz Lindauer (1815-1866)
b. 1815, Alsace-Lorraine, Germany (now France)
d. September 05, 1866, Manhattan, New York County, New York City, New York, USA
Alsace:
Alsace, administrative region of northeastern France. In addition to producing textiles and chemicals, Alsace has a well-developed agricultural economy. Important crops include grains, tobacco, and grapes.
Alsace was absorbed into the Holy Roman Empire in 925. During the late Middle Ages a number of powerful towns, such as Strasbourg and Colmar, won status as miniature republics. After the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Alsace became a province of France, remaining so until the French Revolution (1789-1799), when it was split into departments. These departments were later incorporated into the German Empire. For subsequent history, see Alsace-Lorraine.
Source: Encarta, 1999
Alsace-Lorraine:
Alsace-Lorraine, historic frontier area of northeastern France, separated from Germany on the east by the Rhine River. The region's culture contains both French and German elements, but French is the dominant language.
After the breakup of the empire of Charlemagne in the 9th century, control of the region passed between French and Germanic rulers. The term Alsace-Lorraine was first used in 1871, when the French provinces of Alsace and Lorraine were annexed by Germany. They were returned to France in 1919, after World War I. The territory was ceded to Germany during World War II, but France regained it after Germany's defeat in 1945.

Oscar Arthur Moritz Lindauer (1815-1866) by Eloise Ensko (1925-1993):
My great-grandmother Sophia married an Oscar Lindauer. They came from Alsace-Lorraine [to the US] on their honeymoon. Alsace-Lorraine was then owned by the French. Great grandmother brought a lovely picture of Napolean over from the other side - none of which I have ever seen duplicated. It is still in the family and in excellent condition. The Lindauer family owned a huge department store over there. When the newlyweds came to this country about the early 1800's they settled in Philadelphia. The living room furniture is still in the family. I have in my possesion one of the sitting chairs. It is a very pretty, light wood in color, Victorian style. It is now of heavy material and cover. Sophia's Oscar had three boys and later on one girl. The boys were Charles, Louis and John.

Eloise Lindauer (1815-1866) by Eloise Ensko (1925-1993):
The girl, Eloise was named by her brother, Charles. He found it by reading a book (Heloise & Abelard) The boys were much older than Eloise. Eloise grew up in old Greenwich Village in New York City. She played the piano and and also sang in the Saint Thomas Church, on Fifth Avenue & 53rd Street, New York City, on Sundays in the choir. For a short period of time Eloise Lindauer attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart with her best friend. She died at her home 155 West 171st Street, New York City in her ninety-second year, from old age. She played her piano by note and from memory until the week before she passed away. She had reddish blonde hair up until the end with a very slight trace of white and wore it in an old-fashioned knot on the top of her head. Eloise Lindauer married William Ensko, of New York City and had four children: William Arthur Ensko, Charles Edward Ensko, Eloise Ensko and Sophie Charlotte Ensko.

Oscar Arthur Moritz Lindauer (1815-1866) by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ):
The only Lindauer I knew of was Eloise (Ellie) Lindauer (1861-1935), she was my mother's grandmother and my mother remembered meeting her when she lived in Jersey City. I looked up her death certificate and it gave her father and mother's name. That would have been the end of the Lindauer search, if it wasn't for an accidental find. I found the death certificate for one of the Freudenbergs that died at birth and it listed Cypress Hill Cemetery in Brooklyn. I was very excited and the next day I called the cemetery and sent them the $30 they asked to pay for the research. They sent a certificate on October 10, 1998 with the Freudenberg information and I entered it on my chart. About a week later I noticed a note at the bottom of the page that said "There are 10 more people named Lindauer, If you want research done there is an extra charge". I called and asked about the research and they wanted more money, so I sent them a second check. The new information arrived and I tried to make sense of it, there was an "Esko" and Massey in the grave also. A trip to the archive in NY gave a few birth and death certificates of the people in the grave, and gave the relationship of some of the people. I then visited the cemetery, it took three seperate trips into Brooklyn till I found the grave. Sara and Daniel Norton were with me and are in the pictures of the tombstone. I photographed the grave and didn't develop the film for a month. I noticed then that the name "Esko" was really "Ensko" and looked them all up in the Internet telephone directory and called one. They told me they were related and they lived in Trenton. They had a photo of Oscar A.M. Lindauer and his wife as well as a written testimony. I visited them and took photos of them. Later I found the Oscar A.M. Lindauer obituary in the Rutgers Library.

Masonic Lodge Registry:
The Grand Lodge Registry is the "big database in the sky" sort of speaking. All records of Masons alive today and yesteryear are kept on file. For those that require information on a brother or may be requesting information on a family member for historical/personal reasons, this would be a good starting place. It would greatly help, if you can provide (in addition to a name) the Lodge of the brother if known, or the city in which the Lodge meets or met. The date of birth and/or date deceased are also important in tracking down the information. Although the data is immense, it must be understood that the information being requested is not always available and that this is not the primary function of the Registry. These "searches" are performed as time permits and are and by the generosity of the Registry. Additionally, this is not for use in changing current information whether you are the brother in question or the Secretary of a Lodge. It is not intended nor does it supercede the use of the required Registry forms by the Lodge Secretary, who has the sole responsibility of updating a brothers information. Should you have questions on the MLSS or any other topic which you would typically use the telephone to call, feel free to use Email.
