Hi Marie- Just today decided to look at some msg bds. I too have ancester Phil Marks who was police officer in NYC at least during 1860. Last week I was lucky enough to visit Museum in NYC and will try to upload photos here (not too good at it either) and hope Julie will also check back to msg bd. Superstorm Sandy destroyed bottom floor of original spot so went to substitute spot for museum. Was not very helpful/limited stuff. Was given an address for genealogical research to write to: I will also try to upload. I'd be interested to know if you have learned any more since your last post.
Happy Hunting, Will try to upload pics, etc later.
Alice
