    The ultimate Manhattan "one bedroom", quiet neighbors.

    I don’t think they looked very hard. Within one minute at Ancestry.com I located the records for the vaults and a dozen family trees showing them as ancestors. (I’ve emailed some of the owners of the trees.)

    Yes, these families show up on Ancestry and countless other genealogical websites, but none of these sites shows living descendants for either of the vault owners in question.

    Hmm, might make a nice guest room or office space...I've heard of live/work spaces, but...

    I'm getting my application together to run by the board. I really like this neighborhood and although I wasn't interested in a ground floor unit, I'd take one for an exclusive location like this!!
