Hi! I recently wrote to the NYC Chambers St. archives, looking for info
about a small business named White & Howard which became Leonard & O'Neill.
Business was operated approx from late 1800's to 1934.
I received a letter back from an archivist at NY County Courthouse, Centre
St., NYC, stating that there were no records of a registered bsns indexed
under these names. They did list a few supreme court proceedings for Delia
Leonard (who owned the business in later years), but these may not be
business related.
Questions:
1-What is the significance of there being no bsns records? I know the names
are correct, and there are city directory records, showing the bsns.
2-What were the rules of the time for sm. bsns registrations?
3-Is there somewhere else to look, or something that I haven't thought of?
Thanks,
Rebecca
