Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
While this branch is not connected to my line at all, I can suggest
checking the New York State Census records for Kings County (where
Brooklyn is located). While the NYS census started in 1825, there are
records for that county beginning in 1855 (not everybody participated
as asked) and continuing on until the state ended census taking in
1925. The censuses were taken every 10 years in years ending with 5
except for the 1890s. Because the US federal census for 1890 was
destroyed almost totally in a fire, the NYS census was moved up to
1892. The NYS census records are an every name record and provide
quite a bit of data that the federal census does not. They are worth
checking out. I believe microfilms for the records are available
through the Mormons in Salt Lake City for a nominal rental fee.
Otherwise, you'd have to hire someone in Brooklyn or Albany, NY, to
research the records for you. Those two cities are the only places
the records would be found as Albany is the only place that has a
full set of the censuses at the State Library. County seats have the
records only for that county. Be warned, however, that the state
census has never been indexed. It requires a line by line search. I
hope this helps.
Good luck,
Steve Clarke

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to
do nothing." Attributed to Edmund Burke
The death certificate for my great-grandfather Robert E. Clark (or Clarke) gives his father's first name as John, which backs up my suspicion that I'd found the right family in the 1860 and 1870 census, then living in Brooklyn (Headed by John, a merchant born in Ireland about 1820, and Rebecca.) Robert had several brothers --
David (born about 1850)
George W. (abt. 1853)
John W. (abt. 1858)
William (abt. 1861)
All born in New York.
Do any of these names (I know they are common) and aprox. dates resonate with anyone on this list?
I'd love to find a link somewhere...Please let me know if you think you can help.
Thanks!

My Irish Clarks turned out not to be Clarks, but O'Cleirighs. DNA can
confirm that for you.
