Where are my Roman's? - Part 2

When I go looking for my Romaine's, I have determined that Mary was born in 1878, that she likely had a brother named John, and her parents were Joseph and Frances.  Next, I found an 1880 U.S. Census with Joseph, Frances, Mary plus a son Joseph and a daughter Rosa living in Manhattan on the lower Eastside.  The last name is spelled as Rohmann in the census.  Did I find them?  It certainly could be.  If so, Joseph and Frances are Prussian.

So where do I go next with this search?  At FamilySearch.org, I found that there are many records online for Manhattan to include marriages, deaths, and births.  It is hit or miss for this along with the timefarmes but my Romaine's seem to be a bit of a hit.  I can honestly say that I've had little to no luck with my other Manhattan family surnames.  Again, I kick myself for not trying this out sooner.

Here's what I've found............

Yes, I feel very confident that this is my great grandmother's birth record.  Her mother's maiden name is fairly butchered.  Just wait and see the various versions of her last name.  She must have had a thick accent or maybe Joseph did when speaking the name.

Joseph Rohman

birth: 26 Oct 1872 — Manhattan, New York, New York, USA

The above record would appear to be my great grandmother's brother.  Yet again we see a different spelling of the "Roman" name and Frances' maiden name.

And here we are again.  The surnames are spelled differently.  I believe that this is another brother of my great grandmother, Mary.  Will I find more children?  Will I find my "Roman's"?

I still arrive back at a comment made by my Granddad made in 1990 as I sat at the dining room table in their house in Franklin Square, New York.  He said that his mother, Mary Romaine, was part Dutch.  There is a Dutchman ancestor somewhere back in the line who came through New Orleans.  Someone, maybe a Romaine or her mother's family, then made their way to New York.  Who was in New Orleans?  What's that story?

Let's just say my Granddad's information has been very right so far.  He's batting 1000 with the McGrath maiden name for his grandmother and indicating that his cousin was Coach Frank McGuire.  The proof is in my sourcing but his information has led the way.
