Hi!! I am going to see if I can find out more on my family. The goal of this posting is to see if anyone has joined the list that might have heard of my family. I have come to a brick wall. My gggrandmother, Nancy Elizabeth Snow Miller was born in Armstrong County, Pa. (Her death certificate says Brady's Bend...but I don't know.) Nancy was the oldest of the Nicholas and Rachel Shirley family. I have 1850-1870-1880 federal census years of the family and they lived at that time in Brady's Bend. In 1860 the family is documented as living in Fairview, Butler County, Pennsylvania. The 1880 census is helpful as it tells the names of her brothers and other unknown sisters. This census also gives other valuable information: 1880: Bradys Bend, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania *#401-Snow, Nicholas - white-male-age 62-Head-married-laborer-born in PA.- Parents both born in PA. Rachel-white-female-age 53-wife-married-keeping home-born in PA-Parents born in PA. Mathew B-white-male-age 21-son-single-laborer-born in PA.-Parents born in PA. Annie W(?)-white-female-age 18-daughter-single-at home-born in PA-Parents born in PA. George W-white-male-age 16-son-single-at home-attended school in census year-born in PA.- Parents born in PA. Bower(?), Rmikcer(?)-white-male-age 24-boarder-single-laborer-born in PA.-Parents born in PA. This census gave me clues as to where Nancy's brother Mathew lived and raised his family. I have tracked his family to Butler, Butler County in the 1900 census. George was Nancy's other brother and he was living in Bradford City, McKean County, Pennsylvania with his wife Margaret/Margarite (hard to read) and one son Francis. George Snow was at Nancy's funeral in Montrose, Colorado in 1915. The family does not know what has happened to George from this date. Some say he stayed in Colorado and lived for awhile. He was 50 at the time and I wonder about his own family. I can't seem to find out anything about Nancy, her parents or siblings in PA. You'd think there would be a will, tax records, an obituary of her parents death or other legal documents. This is my wall and would appreciate any guidance, help or advice. Happy Hunting, Maureen Brook
