    3. Greetings all, I have a few questions : 1. What and where is a good source for people entering the US, but not through Elis Island? 2. What and where is a good source for people from Canada, Poland, Germany, and Russia? 3. Up through what year are US census, and SSID death info available? 4. What is the best way to look for living relatives? My biggest problem is that all that is known are names, and sometimes just the first name. Is there a good place for searching people in Europe? Thank you all for the help you have given me. Rich

    3. Mark, If you had done a simple google with "linden farm" +chester county pennsylvania as your subject, the first 'hit' in the list would have been the site which contained the info on the area , including the Linden farm info sent you by a helpful fellow list member... http://www.livingplaces.com/PA/Chester_County/Birmingham_Township.html Never underestimate what you can find using google as your search engine.....however, it is a help to put " " around the main subject, thereby ensuring that you will find the words within that subject in proximity....then, after your 'subject', you may modify that subject by, as in this case, using +chester county pa....this will then only give you sites that contain the words "linden farm" in proximity, PLUS contain the words Chester co pa....this will definitely cut down on the sites you wouldn't be interested in and give you only sites that would be helpful in your hunt! I don't own google 'stock', but sure wish I did....it's a valuable tool for finding anything and everything, from a 'lost' ancestor to a recipe for oxtail soup ..(.the latter, I did that yesterday!)

    1. Re: [PaOldC] PA-OLD-CHESTER Digest, Vol 4, Issue 90 (re: 19th Century Scots-Irish naming patterns...
    2. Bob Wilson
    3. None of these folk were ever PA residents, but here's how it went for my grandmother's ancestral Wiseman family name. There origin was in the Reform Presbyterian community in rural County Antrim in North Ireland, and the first of them arrived in the US in 1836, in the person of one Archibald Wiseman.   Archie Wiseman married Susan Clyde in Newburgh, NY. Their first-born daughter (who died young) was Margaret Dunlap Wiseman, named after Archie's mother (back in Ireland) before her marriage.. Their first-born son was David Clyde Wiseman (who also died young), named after Susan's father (who did live part of his later life in Newburgh). They later had another son with the same name who grew to adulthood, married and had children. Their youngest son was also named Archibald Wiseman.  Another son who survived to adulthood was Samuel Dunlap Wiseman, named after Archie's mother's father. There was also a daughter named Elizabeth Ann Wiseman, my paternal great-grandmother, but I'm not sure who it was, if anyone, that she was named after. After Elizabeth married the Scots-born John McNeal in 1863, they proceeded to have five children: My grandmother, Margaret Dunlsp McNeal: My elder great aunt, Susan Clyde McNeal: My elder great uncle, Archibald McNeal My younger great uncle, Joseph Wilson McNeal, named after his mother's father (from back in Scotland). This Wilson line had no connection to my own Wilson surname. My younger great aunt, Elizabeth McNeal who died as an infant, and who was named after her mother who had died giving birth to her. Interestingly enough, although my great grandmother had four out of five children who grew up to be married, only my grandmother had a child, my father (for whom I am named). In the early days of the searches for my ancestrral family, the discovery of this naming pattern was most useful to me.

    1. Re: [PaOldC] naming order
    2. Sandra, Actually, your/our ancestors, Joshua and Mary (Lewis) Pusey followed this pattern fairly closely but in the mid-18th century. Their first son Ellis was named for Mary's father, Ellis Lewis Their second son William was named for Joshua's father, William Pusey Their third son Joshua was named for his father Their first daughter was named Elizabeth (for either or both Elizabeth Bowater and Elizabeth Newlin) Their second daughter was named Mary for her mother. Starting with their sixth child they seemed to go pretty random - Susanna, Robert, Phebe, Hannah, Lewis and Lydia with innumerable cousins, aunts, uncles, and a grandfather as possible sources. I haven't seen much of the tradition into the 19th century but I suppose there were some families that continued it...

    1. [PaOldC] "what's in a name?"
    2. Sandra Ferguson
    3. Sometimes 'what's in a name' may be the difference in finding ancestors or not. In my own family, my only clue to Joseph Smith's origins was in the census, where he was said to have been born in Pa....but, where does one start looking for a Joseph Smith born in the 1700s, in some unknown place in PA?....... Later, I decided that his sons had somewhat unusual names....Alexander Finley Smith and Andrew Duncan Smith... I theorized that these boys were named for specific men...so, I researched for those men and not the Smiths..... I found them both is a Presbyterian congregation in York Co, Pa, and there were the Smiths, AND the family of Joseph's wife, Roseanne Baxter, all their baptism & marriage dates, etc. So, while not named for family members, their names were extremely important to me, as a researcher. (the 3rd son was named Ferdinand Spangler Smith...boy, how'd you like to get stuck with THAT one! I did find the original Ferdinand in the area, but not in the same church...so, a friend? a neighbor? Some close, albeit it NOT a family tie.) S.

    3. Name research is fascinating. And for every "rule" we come up with, there seem to be just as many exceptions. It really does seem that the later in time we get (closer to the modern era), the less the "rules" apply. And every culture/religion had their own way of doing things. Of course, we're doing research in the melting pot, so we have to try to figure out all of the different ways. ;>) Ginni Morgan >>> Sandra Ferguson <[email protected]> 4/6/09 12:46 PM >>> Sometimes 'what's in a name' may be the difference in finding ancestors or not.
