  • The Sloat Family
    THE SLOAT FAMILY We are indebted to Mr. John Drake Sloat of St. Louis, Missouri, for the Sloat family data. We spent many years searching original unpublished church and court records. Mr. Sloat assembled this material on several large charts, beautifully executed and copies are on file at the New York Public Library. It was from copies of Mr. Sloat's charts that this book of Sloat Mss was assembled. from Charts made by John Drake Sloat [#500 below] Assembled by May Hart Smith {1941}[no date on LA Mss – must be earlier] Ontario, California. [begin transcriber notes: I have used two different copies of the original Mss. to compile this version. The first is a xerographic copy of the book in the Los Angeles Public Library (R929.2 S6338). The second, which is basically the same in the genealogy portion, but having slightly different introductory pages, is a print from the microfilm copy of the book in the Library of Congress. The main text is from the LA Library copy, with differences in the microfilm copy noted in {braces}. Notes in [brackets] are my notes. Note that the comparison is not guaranteed to be complete. As noted on the appropriate page, I have also converted the Roman numerals used for 'unconnected SLOATs' in the original Mss., replacing them with sequential numbers starting with 800 – to follow the format of Mrs. Smith in the rest of her Mss. I have also expanded where the original listed two, or sometimes even three, generations under one entry, instead using the consistent format of one family group per listing.

  • Washington Heights Community Directory
    Washington Heights Community Resource Directory New York State Psychiatric Institute Center of Excellence for Cultural Competence May 2008 Community Profile: Washington Heights and Inwood A survey of New York City residents found that people who report having significant emotional distress are more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as getting no exercise, binge drinking, smoking, and eating a poor diet. Similarly, New Yorkers with significant emotional distress experience high rates of chronic illness, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, and diabetes. An added difficulty is that neighborhoods in New York with the lowest incomes often have the highest rates of significant emotional distress, often adding to the burden on these already underserved communities (New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, 2003). The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has conducted a number of community health surveys to assess the health and well-being of New Yorkers. Here, we present some of the factors important to the physical and mental health of the communities of Washington Heights and Inwood, to serve as background for the services listed in this directory. Washington Heights and Inwood: The population of Inwood and Washington Heights (I/WH) at the 2000 census was 270,700. More than half of the residents of these communities (51%) were born outside the United States, compared to 36% for New York City as a whole. Figure 1 shows the countries of origin for foreign-born members of Community District 12 (which is made up of Inwood and Washington Heights), while Table 1 lists foreign-born residents by country of origin.

  • UMEZ: Channeling Growth and Opportunities to Upper Manhattan
    UPPER MANHATTAN EMPOWERMENT ZONE: Channeling Growth And Opportunities to Upper Manhattan Residents JUNE 2014 OUR MISSION: To sustain the economic revitalization of all communities in Upper Manhattan through job creation, corporate alliances, strategic investments and small business assistance. lthough surrounded by a megalopolis renowned for a robust free market that generates enormous wealth and myriad economic A opportunities, the mostly residential neighborhoods of Upper Manhattan had remained largely isolated, with poverty and unemployment rates among the highest in the city. But during the latter half of the 1990s, when the economy was booming, Upper Manhattan started to feel the impact of broader economic forces. Rising real estate prices in Midtown and Lower Manhattan drove residents into lower priced neighborhoods. The combination of housing availability, lower prices and good public transportation made Upper Manhattan a popular target. The district began to experience an influx of residents with higher incomes and diverse ethnic backgrounds. The new residents created a demand for services that was met by existing and new local businesses. Upper Manhattan was designated an Empowerment Zone under the UMEZ Strategies and Outcomes initial round of federal government funding in 1993. There were a total The mission of UMEZ is to sustain the economic revitalization of all com- of seven Round I Empowerment Zones (Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, munities in Upper Manhattan through job creation, corporate alliances, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia/Camden).
