When did Rootsweb start to allow advertising on its message boards? I had thought that advertising was not allowed. Rootsweb community guide lines states " Don't post commercial messages, fee-for-service postings, advertising or related links, etc. " I see that many of the Minnesota counties were greeted with this and similar today. <http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.minnesota.counties.stearns/3349/mb.ashx> Phil Holm

Bonnie when my husband died, his mother put a notice in the local newspaper where she lives (and where we used to live) and didn't mention me!! Our two children, his deceased brother and two living sisters all rated a mention. Of course, many people whom we hadn't seen or heard of for many years since moving from that area, just assumed we had separated. Always knew she didn't like me!!

I copied and pasted the census information directly from ancestry, so I went and checked it against the page itself. The information at the top of the page is: State: Pennsylvania County: Allegheny Incorporated Place: Wilkinsburg Borough Ward of city: 3 Enumeration District No.: 2-872 Supervisor's District No.: 14 Sheet Number: 14B The family starts on line 75, spelling Benkert I went back in and chose state, then county, then town and found them in district 872, sheet 14B as ancestry shows. Ancestry shows 53 pages for that district, and the family is on the 28th page. I don't know how Heritage Quest sets up the images/pages.

Names of his parents, brothers and/or sisters, wife if he was ever married, his occupation, why he would have wanted to move to the US? In the 1930's and after there are entries with this surname in the Sacramento area and I'm speculating that they might be his son or some other namesake relative, but I was trying to find out if you might have information that might tie it all together.

I have Pearl's family from pre 1910 but the Heritage quest image for 1910 was virtually un-readable for Pearl's married name and her husbands name. I took a chance and searched for Pearl in Allegheny in 1910 on Ancestry and found the entry for Pearl G. Benckert and guessed it was her. You have confirmed it for me. I am still not sure the last name is Benckert but at least I have his first name now.

My Uncle died Tuesday night. In his obituary today, February 7, 2008, in the Steubenville Herald Star it lists a sister as alive who passed away about two years ago. My GM had Annbeell as her name. I have seen it as Anna Bell, Annabell, Anabel, but not with two 'e's. And the editor(?) missed Mount (MT) as MR. So now my Uncle John "Jack" Kenefick needs to be buried in Mister Calvary Cemetery instead of Mount Calvary Cemetery 8>) I expect these were oversights on the person who helped prepare the information. I posted a copy on rootsweb message boards under Kenefick with the corrections. But I was unable to make a reader aware of my edits. No Italics or color changes are allowed, that I can see?
