hi, glad i found this site. and hope someone can point me in the right direction. am looking for an individual who used to live in bensenhurst on w. 6th street during the 70's. i have lost touch and it seems impossible to find a web site like this wouth brooklyn one for bensenhurst. does anyone by any chance know if there is such a web site. am sure this lady had married since then and trying to find her with her maiden name along is useless.

any help much appreciated if anyone knows of a web site for finding someone who used to live in bensenhurst. thank you

I am Barbara Ross' cousin and I am going to be participating in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer event Oct 1-2 in her memory. If anyone is interested in walking with me or making a donation in her memory please feel free to email me and I will pass on the information. Barbara and I used to go walking all the time, it was her favorite form of excercise and I think she would be proud that her family and friends were participating in such a worthy cause in her honor.

8/22/05- I came across this site and saw an old entry from someone looking for the Kelly family from the hook.

My family lived on Lorraine St- in the projects years ago.
My Nana was Helen worked for Telephone co-
Grandpa -Raymond worked on the pier

Gerry (aka Sissy) now lives in New Jersey
Helen (aka Vivian) now lives in Long Island
Raymond now lives in MA

My father Gene (aka Genie, Kelly) passed away.
Almost 15 years now he is gone.

I am passing this site along to my Aunt Sissy who just loves talking to people from the old neighborhood.

Great stories... I have heard many of them growing up.

Nancy....if you read down a few posts you will see that the webmaster Mark was on vacation and maybe still is. He has been really good on getting rid of these posts but I'm sure he can't be on 24/7. Have patience. As you can see Lucy & myself get all bent out of shape with these morons....maybe it is an automated thing......uhmmmmmm now I'm starting to wonder if there are faces behind these moronic posts. Hey Lucy what do you think? Idiots or what?? Even if there is a druggie on board who in their right mind would get drugs on line? ON LINE???? Give me a break!!! Get lost you drug pushing low life good for nothing slime balls. There that should hurt their feelings. Yeah right. We all may need a special code to gain access to this site and what a shame that will be. Freedom of speech but why bother us with this garbage? Get off once and for all!!!! Louise

Wow....such a wonderful site and these jack asses want it to advertise their drug of choice. I had great expectations when i join the site last week, but I see it's overwhelmed by druggies and sex addicts. Losers. Leave this site for decent throwbacks to yesteryear. It's sickening. Can't anyone stop these jerks. Your ground rules say no advertising or links...or your post will be removed, Do so...stick to you word.
