I have been trying to locate the parents of John BLACK or parents of his wife Sarah. In the year 1850 they were living in Lower St. Clair Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. John BLACK age abt. 27 and a miner - b. Pennsylvania Sarah age abt 22 - wife - b. Pennsylvania Mary L age abt 3 - daughter - b. Pennsylvania Thomas age abt 1 - son - b. Pennsylvania Michael D. SMITH age abt 15 - b. Wales I realize this is almost an impossible task but thinking someone might have a young man missing from a SMITH family and haven't any idea what happened to him. Families usually sent someone so young to stay with family members. So, he might be related through Sarah (her maiden name) or through Johns mother (her maiden name). If I don't somehow connect with someone who might know who John BLACKs parents were and where they came from I won't be able to continue my fathers line further. Thought I would give this a try, people on this list have a lot of experience researching and coming up with answers. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Dear Alice, saw the mention of the SMITH name on the Monmouthshire List and I thought - WOW, another ancestor of mine! Sadly not, no mention of any Michael in our tree, missing or otherwise and definately no BLACKs that are known of either! You raised my hopes......... Never mind, shall have to carry on on my SMITHs and wish you all the best on yours.
