Hi, I'm Matthew!
I'm 13 years old and I have been researching my family history since 2008. I have written letters to people all over and connected with several distant relatives.I will try to fulfill grave photo requests but no promises. If you ask I can do grave rubbings, where i take a large sheet of paper and charcoal and i get the engraving from the headstone.I research the following surnames,Voorhees, Landon, Greif, Behar,Kahler, Jones, Jablinowitz, Eisenberg,Cohen, Hasday, Quick, Ellicker, Ravkowsky,Linder, Foresythe, Miller. Voorhees is derived from the dutch name, translated to Man from the land of Hees, Hees is in Drenthe, Holland, the first Van Voorhees to come to the New World was Stephen Coerte Van Voorhees who came on the De Monte Koe in 1660. My twelve great grandfather was Stephen Hopkins, he traveled on the Mayflower in 1620 but was one of the settlers of Jamestown in 1613. The Kahler family first came to America in 1859, my third great grandfather, Georg Casper Kochler came from Balvaria, he settled in upstate New York. The Jones family, my direct line first came to America around 1820, John Jones of Wales came and settled in Ohio. The Jablinowitz family first came to America in 1904, my third great grandfather, Louis Jablinowitz came to New York but had family in Poland and Russia. The Greif family came to America first in 1908, my 3rd great granfather Ben Greif came from Austria-Poland.
I have a very detailed family history. | |

 | transfer request
there is a "form" on the site to do a transfer request. it automatically has all the options on it to do the request, including your number. I see no option to just transfer it to you, seems there should be a way, but i do not know what it is. | | | lrw
 | RE: Voorhees
Matthew,
Sorry it took me so long to fill your request. I've added Rebecca's marker to her site.

Hi, Matthew,
Would you please tell me your relationship to David Voorhees? Also, if you read my bio, you will find, near the end, an easy way for transfers/additions/corrections, to be done. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

 | RE: Quicks in Tompkins
Hi Matthew,
I never heard of Woodhull - what large city is it near? If it is somewhat near me - I would be glad to go there for you. I did, however, find a few Quicks buried nearby in Garrett-Mandeville Cemetery (Dutch Reformed Cem.) in the Town of Caroline, Tompkins County, NY. Let me know if you need any of those Quicks.
Best Regards,

Hi, Matt.
I've uploaded photos to Barnett Eisenberg and his wife, Hannah, in Ahavath Sholom Cemetery. Also for his son Morris and his wife Jean. Memorials are linked.

| RE: Quicks in Tompkins
Hi Matthew,
I would be glad to help you but will need a little more information. Do you know where any of your Quick relatives are buried? (Which cemetery?) We do have a "Quick Cemetery" here in Tompkins County which is actually not far from where I live.
Send me the full names and dates (if you have born and death dates, even approximate ones will do) of any relatives you are looking for as well as any cemetery that you know someone is buried in.
Please send this information to my email address:
rdelongs@twcny.rr.com
I will see what information or photos I can find for you.
Best Regards,
Ginny DeLong | | | Louis Mata
 | RE: Behar
Hi Matthew,
I wasn't able to get out there in the 2 week window that Find A Grave allows, so they were 'dropped' off my claims. I'm going to reclaim them - I hope I can get out there this Sunday.
Regards,

Have a safe trip, Matty. Hopefully the pictures will be there when you get back. | | | Louis Mata
| RE: Behar
Yes and no. I did go to a cemetery, but way out in Corona. I'm hoping to get to Home of Peace this Sunday if all goes according to plan. | | | | [View all messages...] |
