This is a very famous public school in New York and is still there. Try one
of the internet phone books like Big Yellow (http://www.bigyellow.com) or alike -- go the white pages section and I am sure you will find the school listed. Another alternative would be the New York City Board of Education. No idea on what they do about keeping old school records but I am sure someone there could tell you where you have to look. The school also likely had yearbooks that you might be able to find at the school or else in the public library. The New York City Public Library has an online catalogue on the internet that you can search too. Hope some of that helps. Allan Jordan aejordan@aol.com

Re: Erasmus High School

Erasmus HS was in Flatbush, Brooklyn, not in New York City (which
is Manhattan). Big school built around a courtyard in which a small wood frame house sat, serving as administration office. Always assumed this was the humble beginnings of this large school. Many famous and not-so-famous people went there, such as Barbra Streisand. The school's library might have a set of yearbooks. It was quite a famous school in its day. Since I haven't lived in Brooklyn since 1970, don't have very current info. Sorry not to have more information. I lived in East Flatbush, which was Tilden HS district, but shlepped to the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan when it was on the CCNY campus (135th st.). Good luck.

* LDS information needed
#hungary
Tom Venetianer <tom.vene@...>
This may sound a stupid question but please bear with me :)
In Sao Paulo (Brazil) the FHC is very modest. It only has one computer and 3 microfilm readers. A lady (sister) takes care of searching the CDs for cities and family names. It is a cumbersome and time consuming method. Therefor, this peculiar situation justifies my question: Is it possible to purchase the CDs for the International Genealogical Index and the Family History Library Catalog? If the answer is positive, where can I buy them? I visited the LDS site but nowhere could I find such information. Many thanks in advance. Please answer in private. Tom

RKaminker <rkaminker@...>
I recently received an offer >from Halbert's of Bath Ohio for a special book on
my family surname for $38.95. It promised sources of information on my family name by searching hundreds of millions of data records. When I received it, 99% of the information was generic boilerplate and 1% of it was Kaminker names and addresses >from around the world. The information they provided was not even what most people can get >from surfing the net. They did not even have me or my parents who are both listed in US directories. Basically, I would not recommend its purchase. Ron Kaminker LA, CA

In my files are notes >from Jan. 2, 1998 >from Andras that he posted that he has a list of the Jewish soldiers in WWI sorted by towns. Also a note >from Vivian Kahn saying the FHL has 6500 reels of Aust.-Hung. military records. Pull their postings >from the archive for greater detail. An Aaron Rosenberg also put in some information at some point re: a key to the headings of the military muster rolls. Write me back if you can't get the information, I only copied what is personally relevant and don't know if the whole posting of these folks is more usefull to you. good luck!
