Letters from Larry – 6 January 1941

6 January 1941 – Queens, New York

Dearest Marion,

This letter may seem a little strange to you and then again it might not.  I’m writing this to beg forgiveness for the way I have been acting the last few days.  No one is to blame but myself.  I’ve been a crazy fool. I don’t [know] what got into me.  It just happened.  I hope you understand and forgive me.  I really can’t write or say what inside of me.  Please understand that it isn’t htat I[‘m] tiring of you because everyday you grow stronger in me.  Try to understand.  I’ll try my hardest to treat you like a lady and a dear friend should be treated.  I love you.

Love, Larry

P.S. I think you’ll understand this.

Hour Glass Chart for Louis and Louise Schillinger

I created a family hourglass chart to illustrate how the Schillinger generations go. I’ve also created a family group record as a .pdf file that has more information than last night’s post. To explain:

  • An hourglass chart shows both the ancestors and descendants of the couple at the center of the hourglass.  In this case, I’m showing all the information about the known ancestors, but I have limited the descendants to 2 generations and blanked out the information on the one living person (my Pop) for privacy reasons.
  • A family group record is all the information about one family laid out in a very organized fashion and is a standard form in genealogical research.  In this case, I’m only including the FGR for Louis F. Schillinger and his wife, which will include their children, but not their ancestors or their descendants beyond their children.  I’ve only included notes from Louis and his wife.

The Thomas Family in Brooklyn 1930
The House on Schneck Avenue

The House on Schneck Avenue

The house Nan lived in when she was five in Brooklyn, NY. From the 1930 Federal Census, the Deegan and Weymer families lived in the other apartments in the building. The Deegan’s had a teenage son and a teenage daughter, and the Weymer’s had a 21 year old son, and a six year old son. In addition to her parents and sister, Nan’s grandmother lived with them in their apartment.  Her father’s occupation is listed as an Operator, and the industry on the census appears to be “Monotype” but it’s a little illegible, so I’m not entirely sure.  Her grandmother is listed as a Cook, and her industry is completely illegible, so I have no idea who she would have been working for.
