Look on ABEBOOKS.com and you'll find them - Williams is pretty pricey though - usually over $100 for the two volumes. You can get a CD of Scharf's History of Western MD for about $28 - I've seen it for sale several places. It would be nice to have both of those standard reference works in your home library.

Robert: You can also go to Md. Archives web site and then click into Vitial Records and then enter into the system and look for a death notice.If you know the approx period of time that they died you can jump forward to that period and cut down on all the scrolling. If you find them it will only show full name, date of death and what County, but with that you can go forward in your search.

Robert, I have not been able to locate Jacob Mansfield Wolford and his wife Ida Kate Lindsay Wolford in Maryland census records of 1910 or 1920. She was not in the obit finder for Hagerstown,Md. papers. To obtain a death record from Maryland, send a self addressed, stamped envelope to Maryland State Office, Division of Vital Records, P.O. 68760; 6550 Reisterstown Road, Baltimore, Maryland 21205. The request for death certificate should include full name of deceased, name of spouse, name of parents, date and place of death. The cost of search and copying of certificate is $ 12.00 per request. Death certificates may be difficult to find. A family member was born in Penna., lived in Maryland for 50 years, died on Penna turnpike, memorial church service in Maryland and buried in Maryland. Of course, the death certificate was found in Pennsylvania.

Mike, Ridgeville today is RINGOLD.

Lauren, Thanks much. That little Christopher Trovinger tidbit actually clears up a small mystery. I had two different dates for his death, Oct 17 and Dec 17, 1820. The Maryland Herald notice nails it--I looked it up, and the Sunday before Dec 19 was Dec 17, 1820. Christopher is my earliest Trovinger, having married Anna Barbara KIMMEL, b. Ephrata, PA, daughter of my 4th gr grandfather, Adam KIMMEL (1733-1778), an Am Rev soldier. Mike > > Mike, I must have transposed numbers when I plugged it into the > calculator.

Jacob Harbaugh's Cemetery is on private property in Sabillsville, Maryland on HWY 550. There is another cemetery on the old Elias Harbaugh property. George Harbaugh's is next to Harbaugh Church outside of Waynesboro,PA near pen Mar. At the Harbaugh reunion in June, some of the old Harbaugh sites may be viewed. Faith E. Berghofer

During WWI many changed the name from the German spelling to the English Falkner. I received this information from a Falkner friend whose family is from Nichols Co West Virginia. I had sent him some information I found on the Falkners in Washington Co Md. Being so close to West Virginia I thought there may be a connection. I hope this will some way help you in your search. You never know what you are going to find just by talking to friends, I have known this family for almost 30 yrs and never knew their name had been changed. Below is his reply Interesting, but my father's family name was Fockler until 1917 in WW I when they changed it from German spelling to English. He had 9 siblings, some changed spelling, some didn't. Dad was 11 then. In 1919, at 13, he went to work in coal mines and changed his name so he could get a job.

Am looking for location of the Harbaugh Family Cemetery. I have information that it is east of Sabillasville between Rt. 81 and RR. I don't know if this is in Maryland or Pennsylvania.

Mike In the Smithsburg Cemetery at Smithsburg there is a Joseph TROVINGER, age 75y 4m 25d, d. 11 May 1908 alongside TROVINGER, Susan M., w/o Joseph age 52y 4m 14d d. 19 Jan. 1895 also TROVINGER, Joseph s/o Howard and Daisy TROVINGER d. 21 Sept. 1908. (n.o.i.) This is from Vol. III of the cemetery records. The birthdate calculator for the first Joseph indicates his birthday is 27 Dec. 1855. Might you have another Joseph than you suspected?

For quite some time I had believed Joseph TROVINGER, b. 1832, son of Joseph TROVINGER, Sr. (1790-1851) and wife Elizabeth CLOPPER (1804-1893), and a lifetime resident of the Chewsville area, had died in 1887. But, I just discovered him in the 1900 census, very much alive. If anyone on the List has information about Joseph TROVINGER, I would be very interested in exchanging information. Thanks much. Mike
