Sorry, guess it helps to have the address!!! I'm just so excited!! <A HREF="http://www.happeningsinthehills.com/">http://www.happeningsinthehills.com/</A> Tammy W.

Greetings! I'd like to invite you to check out my Web site - geared toward the history and genealogy of the Pennsylvania counties of McKean and Potter, and the New York counties of Allegany and Cattaraugus. Many have asked me to put something up - so here it is: www.happeningsinthehills.com. My site covers the four counties - census records, cemetery lists, history, vital records, photos, lists of societies, etc. I've also added a few items that I think make the site unique: Two Recommended Reading pages - one for works still available in print, the second for rare, out-of-print books that I recommend. The Calendar of Events lists activities being hosted by various genealogy and historical groups in the area. Anybody is free to post their event so if you belong to a group, or know of one, that needs a little publicity simply send them my way. History's Mysteries is a page of photos that I know very little about - maybe one of you can help. I'll have a monthly chat on various topics. Speakers for the next few months have been scheduled. If you'd like to be entered in the drawing for a free book simply sign the guestbook. I'll announce the winner at the first chat, in April. This idea of a drawing seems to be pretty popular, so probably for the first year I'll have a drawing each month. As you look over my site I would like to remind you that I am not a club or a society or a group. It's just me and it's been a lot of work thus far, and will continue to be. If you don't see something up right away please remember this. I am planning to update the site each Saturday night, so check back often to see what's been added. If you'd like to submit something please send me an email detailing the submission and I'll let you know if I can accept it. Anything genealogy or history related is fine. I would also like to add that there is no charge for my site. Happy Hunting! Maureen M. Lee maureen@happeningsinthehills.com http://www.happeningsinthehills.com

What at great sight. I recommend everyone researching Cattaraugus, Allegany Co.'s in NY, and McKean & Potter Co's to visit this sight. It offers a ton of information not found on the local sights I've seen, and it's free to all. Make sure you sign the guest book, they will enter you in a drawing for a free genealogy book!!!! Maureen Lee, the person in charge of creating this great sight, is a professional genealogist. I'm sure a lot of you have been in personal contact with her. That alone should let you know what a great sight this is and what a stickler she is about her information. Well, I'm back to finish looking around!!!! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I am!!! Tammy Wojtowicz

I wanted to let you all know that there is a great new website giving a lot of information for Cattaraugus and Allegany counties in New York and McKean and Potter counties in Pennsylvania. The site owner is even giving away one free book to one lucky sole who signs the guestbook. Susan Stahley Professional Genealogist rsm.stahley@verizon.net

Looking for listings for Obed Patterson, Henrietta Patterson and William and Mary Latham Patterson. Would sks be able to do a look up for me? I am trying to break a brick wall once and for all. Also, is there a listing for a Frank Patterson during this time frame also? Vicki

Dawn: I have never seen any of the names that you mentioned. But I'm sort of hazy on the SCHUKNECHT side of my family. Did you read the obits that I posted to the Alleg Co. website? Sorry that I couldn't help. Melissa Mills Buffalo, NY

Melissa, I read your e-mail with interest. I read a a1870 census record with the following. Albert Schulternack 42 yrs. Betsy Schultnack 76 yrs. Martha Powell 42 yrs. Eslette Powell 4 yrs. Eugene Carpenter 16 yrs. Eugene is my husbands Grt. Uncle. When the Carpenter family had to sell their farm due to bad times in 1869, two of their younger children appeared in the 1970 census with other families. I have wondered if they other families were related. I have not been able to find two of Eugene's aunts married names. Perhaps they were staying with their two aunts? The entire family left for NE in 1972. Anyway, is this part of your tree?
