Genealogy is one of my passions and much of my family came from Brooklyn. Murray was most helpful letting me stay with him and Lucy and directing me to the Municipal Archives. Another time he was most beneficial in translating
an old will.

So very sorry to hear about Murray. I loved visiting his home in Brooklyn when I was there for genealogical research. He was helpful and a good host along with Lucy.
