Is there anyone knowledgeable about the McIntyre family of eastern Garrett County and vicinity? David McIntyre, born in the 1830s, married Mary Ellen Barnes. He was named in various Civil War pension depositions as having lived in what is now eastern Garrett County before the War. His name appears as head of household in the 1870 census with post office at Westernport and in the 1880 census at Barton. Has anyone researched the McIntyre family of western Maryland?

Art- I Googled "Lutheran Minister Schwankovsky" and got several hits like the following. Perhaps if you google, you can connect with a Schwankovsky family member and find out a good deal. This may or may not be the Luthern Minister Schwankovsky you are looking for but the period of time is close. Sharon ************************************************ Family name: schwankovsky Last, First Galbraith, Ted E-Mail: teddybare@i2k.com Street: 149 Kimberly Dr City, State: Prudenville Mi Country: USA Date: 1999-10-25 Family Website: Additional Family Information: Looking for information on Conrad Schwankovsky, a Lutheran Minister in the mid 1800"s. Served in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan areas. ****************************************** History of Butler Co., PA 1895 St. Peter's Evangelical Union Church was formally organized in 1849, as "The Evansburg Lutheran and Reformed Church," by Rev. Herman MUNTZ, but the union did not last long. A contract between the members of the Reformed and Lutheran churches of Evans City, was signed April 25, 1853. The record is written in German. This contract was in force until August 2, of that year, when the bodies divided, Mr. MUNTZ organizing "St. Peter's German Luth- [p. 425] eran Church," and taking fifteen families with him, who held the original building of 1850. The pastors since Mr. MUNTZ's time have been Revs. C. SCHWANKOVSKY, 1854, K. W. BRECHT, 1855; C. WALTBURGER, 1858; E. F. WINTER, 1863; Casper SCHEEL, 1880 and the present pastor, Rev. Henry VOEGLE, who came in 1890. The church was chartered January 15, 1872, on petition of Rev. E. F. WINTER, Jacob STROUP, William GOEHRING, Zeno MARKEL, Peter BURR and other members of the society.

The history of St . Michaels St. Michael's Church was established as the first Roman Catholic parish in Frostburg in 1852. Until that time, Catholics in the area were served by priests from St. Patrick's Church at Mount Savage which, at that time, included Frostburg (then called Mount Pleasant). About 1850, Father Michael Slattery was sent to Frostburg, where he first held Mass in local residences. Arrangements were soon made for the purchase of the abandoned Highland Hotel, a large building in the center of town. This structure was remodeled and part was used as a church and the remainder as a rectory. After Father Slattery left St. Michael's in 1860, the parish again became a mission of St. Patrick's in Mount Savage. For a few years the Redemptorist Fathers from Cumberland took charge at Frostburg, and by 1868, the old church structure was replaced by a brick and stone ediface. Set in the midst of a growing mining and railroad community, the parish continued to expand. A pastoral residence was built on the site of the former hotel and cemetery land was purchased on McCulloh's Hill.

There ought to be a Lutheran library or some such that would have a bio on this minister. If so it should include all the churches in which he ministered. I would go to a local Lutheran church and ask. The Cath. Ch. has a Cath directory maybe the Lutheran's do too.

While we're on Lutheran churches and wedding records, I will repeat a question I think I tried a few years ago. Is anyone aware of what Lutheran churches would have been in Cumberland in 1866? I am trying to find out about the marriage of my great grandmother's parents or step parents who were married January 1, 1866. They are in the record book in the courthouse with only their names. His last name was Hueschkel or Heuschkel and hers was Spencer. Years later Mary Elizabeth Spencer wrote in a civil war pension application that the marriage was done by a Lutheran minister named Schwankovsky. There is an affidavit in the pension file from Schwankovsky verifying this but by the he was in Grand Rapids Michigan. So if the list can help me, is it known what church in Allegany county Schwankovsky was affiliated with? The record in the courthouse only gives the names of the couple and the date.

I don't have any other info except that she married my gg-grandfather James Kiddie on 11 April 1862. And my g-grandfather, Thomas Kiddie was baptized on 6 October 1862.
