If others have further information on either the grandchildren/ great grandchildren or parents of Julius and Catherine please advise.

I know that Catherine's mother was Mary Lambert and Father Adman Cook and that Catherine was born in New Jersey. Though Julius' parents were from Germany I do not know exactly when Catherine's did as her father is listed as being from New York on census records and mother from Germany......

This may help you. Jamaica Creek is no longer in existence. It was "taken over" and converted into John F. Kennedy (JFK) airport many years ago. The houses and streets were removed and the area was filled with dirt, and runways were built in their place.

I know this because my grandfather owned two houses in Jamaica Creek and they both were taken by the New York City when it enlarged the airport. The airport was called "Idlewild Airport" then.

Yes, thank you. My mother grew up there and still tells fond stories of the area. I have documentation regarding their lives but obviously can't find out where to get birth/death certificates since the area is dissolved and the govt. keeps sending me elsewhere.
