My great grandparents lived in Cumberland from 1871 until the early 1900s. They named all of their children after family friends. I've accounted for most of them, but not for George Anderson Dorris. Does anyone know of a George Anderson who might have lived in Cumberland during those years? Thank you, Doris Smith Chapel Hill NC

Does anyone know where I can write or call to track records of ancestors that worked at Kelly Springfield Tire Company. Most would probably start in the early 1930's. Are they still in business?

I am wondering if someone in the Cumberland area could assist me with a problem that I have discovered. Several years back I copied the Crow/e marriage records up to June of 1922. I noticed reading the obit for Jacob Cephas Crowe that Genie Ragan has posted on Our Brick Walls does not seem to match the marriage records. As noted below James Cephas was married to Eveline Stevey, but in Jacob Cephas's obit it states he married Eveline. The 1881 marriage notes Cephas Crow married Merrietta Wilson - Jacob Cephas obit indicates his first wife was Etta Wilson which I presume matches. 1881 9/15 Cephas Crow Allegany County Merrietta Wilson Allegany County Allegany County Rev. J.R. Anderson 1900 4/13 James Cephas Crowe Midlothian, MD Eveline Stevey Midlothian, MD Midlothian, MD Rev. C. W. Cannon Here is in part Jacob's Obit. Jacob C. Crowe, 81, died Monday night at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Elsie Hume, Pittsburgh. Mr. Crowe, who until recently was a resident of Frostburg and Borden Shaft, was born in Garrett county March 15, 1859. He was the husband of the late Sarah Etta Wilson and Evelyn Stevey Crowe, both preceding him in death. If possible could someone if they have the time check the marriage books at the Courthouse to verify that I copied the information correctly for these two marriage dates and names. Thank you in advance, Dick Crow "The Ole Crow" Retired and enjoying it! "Fair Winds and Following Seas."

Lois, A friend of mine's maiden name was ROWAN. I read your e-mail querie and she seemed to recall the names of Bridget, Catherine, etc. She said she will look into this, and if I find anything concrete I will e-mail you. She does not have a computer. She is from Mt. Lake Park which is just adjacent to Oakland.

Lois, If you could give me a little more info on this Rowan family I might be able to help you. If you like you can send a report to my direct e mail: [email protected] I will check the St. Mary's records for you and I do have some Rowan's in my line. And, on the next posting, regarding CARSON, if your peeps were Catholic they would have gone to St. Mary of the Annunciation in Lonaconing or St. Gabriel's in Barton. I have some records for both of these churches if I can help you, let me know. Off the top of my head, I don't recall the CARSON name from those records. I also have some Methodist records for Barton Methodist Church, but they have not been transcribed yet, so are not searchable. With regard to the birth records, civil records were not officially kept until 1898 and they can be found at Maryland Archive in Annapolis. Your best bet would probably we be church records to find those early births.

Where would birth certificates be accessed for 1850-1860 in Allegany County (if they exist)? Immigrated from Scotland, c.1852. What churches would they have likely attended in the Lonaconing and/or Barton area? Grace M. CARSON b. 1855, Allegany County, Maryland George B. CARSON b. 1858, Allegany County, Maryland Christina CARSON b. 1860. Allegany County, Maryland Towns would include Lonaconing and/or Barton, Georges Creek area.. It appears they arrived in Allegany County and relocated to Kanawha County (W)VA between 1850 and 1860 physical census. Plan to visit area after research.

Is there anyone on this list researching the Mullen family? (Mullan/Mullin/ ) There seems to be a familial relationship to John and Bridget Rowan since John and Mary Mullen were sponsors at my grandmother, Bridget Rowan's baptism. Bridget's sister Mary Ellen had Edward and Mary Mullen as sponsors and Nicholas Mullen was a sponsor for Catherine Rowan, another of Bridget's siblings. Possible connective names are Rowan, McMahon. The Rowan family lived in the Bloomington, Oakland , Westernport area of Maryland. Any info about the Mullen families connection to the Rowan's will make my day. Thanks, Lois Zelina

This week I had the opportunity to visit Allegany County, specifically to see the land owned by my 4-great grandfather, Thomas Perrin, and subsequently by son James K. Perrin. This spread is located on Lower Town Creek Road immediately south of Bear Hill Road, including the northern third of Crabtree Folly (200 acres in the valley proper), plus about 60 acres on the hill west of the valley (Wheat Hill and Buck's Lodge). The current owners of the land, the Miller's, directed my wife and I to Agnes Slider, whose family had previously owned the land starting in 1906. She confirmed the Perrin connection according to the 1906 deed (which she had in her possession), and also told us of a cemetery on the hill. Called the Huff cemetery, it contained about twenty plain fieldstones, plus two stones of more modern vintage with the name Slider clearly inscribed. Looking through the deed records, it is apparent that this land was sold by James K. to Amos McElfish in 1851, who sold it to Jasper Huff in 1853. Jasper and his son William F. Huff lived there until at least the 1900 census. I am curious whether anyone on this list is familiar with the Huff family, and/or knows about this cemetery. I don't believe it is listed in the Rural Cemeteries of Allegany County book. I want to believe that it predates the Huff times, and may include graves from the Perrin family. Any information about the Huff's would be appreciated. Richard Perrin Day

New obits for Crowe, Miller, Winebrenner, Rafferty, Wempe, Coleman, Getson and I can't remember who else, along with a couple of marriage articles have been posted on OurBrickWalls.com. We've now gone over 2300 obits on the site. I hope you're finding some that help. Have a great weekend! Genie Editor by Default OurBrickWalls.com

Here are the directions/locations Buddy Duckworth who surveyed and photographed Green Cemetery gives: Location: Drive to the top of Douglas Avenue from Lonaconing. At the very top, turn to the right on a dirt road; the Cemetery can be seen off in the distance. http://usgwarchives.net/md/allegany/tsimages/green/green.html Kathi Jones-Hudson MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager http://www.usgwtombstones.org/maryland/maryland.html --- On Tue, 5/12/09, Bonnie Hager <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Bonnie Hager <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [MDALLEGA] Green Cemetery Lonaconing, Maryland just off Douglas Ave. > To: [email protected] > Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 8:25 AM > yep, that's where green's cemetery in > Lonaconing is located. >   > It's a little dirt road looks like leading nowhere, there > is a house on the left hand side keep driving and you'll see > the cemetery. >   > Bonnie (Miller, McGee) Parrish > > --- On Mon, 5/11/09, Joseph Mckenzie <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > From: Joseph Mckenzie <[email protected]> > Subject: [MDALLEGA] Green Cemetery Lonaconing, Maryland > just off Douglas Ave. > To: [email protected] > Cc: "Joe Mckenzie" <[email protected]> > Date: Monday, May 11, 2009, 7:53 PM > > > Can someone look at my Google map and pinpoint the location > of the Green > Cemetery? > > http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&vps=2&jsv=157e&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=113775654413917413060.000469ab7354ec5f609d2 > > I think its located close to the box I have on the map but > not sure where it > is. > Joe in Dunedin, Florida > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the > subject and the body of the message > > > >       > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the > subject and the body of the message >

Here is a link to a searchable ships list website. As in the subject line, it includes ships that arrived in Canada and NY between 1865 and 1922. You cannot search by surname. You can search by year or by the ships name, fortunate if you know the arrival year. The scanned pages are not full page, but most are still readable. For those who are used to reading transcribed lists of names, sorry, but you need to read thru each scanned page of the manifests, and spend a LOT of time. Hope this helps in someones research.

Years ago there was a man I knew who was in the process of listing military records for WWI. He was a member of the Howard County Genealogy Society. It may be worth the effort for you to link to that site or the Howard Co MD list to see what data is available and if he is still there.

Lois, would you send the link to the mdalleg list for others? I must have missed a message, as I don't remember anything being posted. Thank you, Ruth

Lois, the only World War I records and military records I can think of are at www.ancestry.com and you must be a subscriber. Ruth

I don't know what is listed there, but www.cyndislist.com has a lot of that time of information that you can link to. There might be WWI info as she has a section on Military Records. I always forget to check her out, I have made some good discoveries there. Also NARA has WWI records. But it is very expensive now to order copies. You might get an index tho and see if anything is there. And I belong to Ancestry. If you give me the info I will see if I can find who you are looking for.

Richey was kind enough to give the e-mail addie for the government archives. I have been asked to share it with other interested researchers. It looks like a very interesting place so I hope it is useful for others too.
