Katie and John, born in NY,in NJ by 1892
HI! (it's me again)
I'm looking for info on my g-grandfather, born 1892 in Jersey City.John George "Jack" PETRIE's obit says he was also educated at Jersey City schools.I know he moved to upstate NY when he was 17.He was a mate on a boat that sailed there...so I assume he worked on the water in Hudson County.
His obit lists his mother's name as KATIE and his father's name as JOHN, also.On the 1920 census he lists his parents as having been born in NY. I have sent away for a birth certificate, but don't know how fruitful the search will be with such little info.
Does this ring any bells for anyone?
Thanks, Bonnie
