    1. Re: [PITTSBURGH] WILLIAMS - from Russia
    2. Hi Lori, These are the only 2 WILLIAMS that are listed in the Migration from the Russian Empire series. BUT, you must remember if they weren't listed as Russian, Polish, or Finish on the original manifest they will not be here. You may also want to try Ancestry.com to see if he is listed in immigration index, (Ancestry.com has the manifest for WILLIAMS, Jos (below) but very little information is given in this time frame.I can send you a copy of this manifest in jpg form) or try a for later year of arrival for the family on Steve Morse's site. Hope this helps, good luck with your search. Karen in the Augusta, GA PS... Also while Ancestry.com I notice a Joseph WILLIAMS applied for citizen ship: Database: Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s Name: Joseph Williams Year: 1890 Place: Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania Source Publication Code: 9702 Primary Immigrant: Williams, Joseph Source Bibliography: WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, Pittsburgh, compilers.

    1. Robert Neill of Schenley Park Log Cabin
    2. Clare Pebworth
    3. Hi All, I will give you the background first. and then I will ask my questions. There is a Robert Neill (Neal/Niel/Neil) cabin in Schenley Park. Robert came to Pittsburgh several years prior to the Rev. War. When he purchased this tract the patent says NEILL. He sold this tract and cabin in 1796 and signed his name as NEIL. The deed says NEAL and the acknowledgment is NEILL. His wife Elizabeth died between 1795 and 1801. I do not know her maiden name but it could be Newton. The 1790 Census lists 1 male and 4 females in his household and his name is NEAL. The 1800 Census lists him as NEEL with 1 male (Himself) and 2 females in the household. His 1801 will lists 5 daughters and a son. 1) Nancy Neill was the oldest and m. James McCarty (McCartney) and their dau. Elizabeth was named in the will as Robert's granddau. and Nancy's only child who was under 21 in 1801. Elizabeth m. William Stewart. 2) Mary wife of Francis Willson (Wilson) 3) Elizabeth wife of Thomas McCullough (m. 2nd Samuel (Thomas's brother) 4) SON - JOHN NEILL 5) Jean - under 18 in 1801. 6) Martha - under 18 in 1801 - m. Matthew Stewart The guardian of Jean and Martha was John Wilkins, Sr. On May 8, 1915, the Pittsburgh Bulletin printed a story by J.M. Miller in regard to this Robert Neill and his cabin. In the story Mr. Miller wrote about Neill having 2 sons but neither was named. Now my Questions: 1) Does anyone know what ever happened to Robert's son John Neill? He obviously had moved out of the household by 1790 but was still alive in 1801. Being named in Robert's will, I assume that John was in the area and did not have children at that time. Since Robert named his granddau. of his dau. Nancy, I am sure he would have named any children that his son John had, if John had any children. 2) Does anyone know the name of Robert's 2nd son? 3) Am I correct in "guessing" that Robert's wife Elizabeth's maiden name was Newton? Thanks for any suggestions. Clare P. (The other Clare) Clearwater

    2. Thomas E. Lassek
    3. "Jane, I went through all 6 Volumes of Ira A. Glazier’s works “Migration from the Russian Empire” and I did not find anyone with the surname WARMINSKI or any other possible spelling. Have you found an approximate year of arrival on one of the census?" - - - - - Pardon my butting in ...but I wanted to give you some information. Dr. Ira Glazier also wrote a series publication "Germans to America", about 35 volume's or so, available at local libraries, LDS FHC's, and now I understand it's online somewhere but I don't know where. At the end of each book, there is an alphabetical listing of those within. Identify the surname, turn the page to the correct area and read about the ship and other specifics. I would be suprised if WARMINSKI was not identified within. Most nationalities are represented. "Germans to America" is not noted for it's accuracy. When New York City decided to microfilm all the old ship's records and manifests, it did so, and Dr. Glazier somehow got the originals. They are now reposited in the Balsch Institute in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and it's not open to the public as far as I know. Additionally, the LDS has a copy of all the films of the original manifests as well. When you find the surname in question (being aware of probable misspellings) you'll want to get a copy of the original handwritten manifest to validate the information given. Also, there's all kinds of information in side margins and death's are noted. The NYC Castle Garden Immigration Center web site and email list at rootsweb can provide other information as well.

    3. "Dear Tom; I would be VERY interested in any information you could give me on the surname of WARMINSKI/WARMINSKA...Also, Marianas maiden name should have been listed as: MURAWSKA...not WARMINSKI. Her married name was Warminski. According to census records, she came from Russian Poland, he from German Poland.I only know that males used the I on the end, where females used the a on the end. I would be interested in learning more about these names, thanks so much....Jane" - - - - - - - - - - - Hello Jane ... Yes, the Polish language declension patterns are complex. The Polish surname with a SKI suffix generally follows the typical adjectival pattern. Regardless of root or case suffix, and for genealogical reasons, the Masculine Singular, Nominative Case is followed. Once in a great while, the scribe used the Masculine Singular, Genitive case, but not often, and still, in your research, just revert back to SKI in all cases. While searching the records, the ROOT of the surname is the most important, such as WARM or MURAW. That's the portion to key in on. A good explanation of some Polish language suffixes and their use: http://www.polishroots.org/surnames/surnames_endings.htm . WARMINSKI - The name should actually be spelled as WARMIN~SKI (where the letter -N- has a tic above it). I'm sure that this diacritical mark was lost during the emigration and immigration process, which is common enough. WARMIN~SKI-, Formed from a Place, from the Northeast region of Poland called "Warmia" which is the Polish root word of the surname, by Poles. It's called "Ermland" by Germans and it was formerly part of East Prussia. There were 877 citizens named WARMIN~SKI living in Poland as of about 1990. From the "Sl~ownik geograficzny Kro~lestwa Polskiego" as recorded by the linguist and author William F. Hoffman based on input by Professor Kazimierz, from the Instytut Je~zyka Polskiego, Krako~w Poland. The Warmia area in subject was actually once owned by the Catholic Bishop of Warmia. Appropriately enough, Polish surnames with the root BISKUP or a spelling deviant are rampant from this general area. The suffix INSKI in the Polish surname WARMINSKI is a compound suffix! added to the root noun to indicate a connection. More specifically in this case it means "Of the XXXXX's". "Of those from Warmia" would be appropriate. Additionally, the use of the SKI suffix, a few hundred years ago, would be an indicator that this Family could possibly have been a part of the Old Polish Nobility. http://www.herby.com.pl/herby/ is one of many sites where you may enter the surname to see if indeed the Family has been enobbled. If it was, you will see their Coat-Of-Arms. Then all you have to do is research your WARMINSKI Family to show an unbroken line of lineage back to them. MURAWSKI - MURAW-, Formed from a Place. Possibly from the Polish root word "Murawa" which means "lawn, greensward" or possibly in some cases from "Moraw-" which means the same. There were 13,234 MURAWSKI's residing in Poland as of about 1990. The SKI suffix in the surname MURAWSKI is a little different than the suffix identified above. Here SKI means "Of, From, Connected With, Pertaining To". "From MURAW (Where the spelling of MURAW will probably deviate but it will show a location)" or "Connected with an area noted for it's extensive grasslands". There are other possibilities.

    3. Mr. Warren Carah posted a message on the Rootsweb Allegheny County message board but I offered to put his message out to the Allegheny Co. and Pittsburgh mailing lists. He is looking for any family members of Francis E. Owens of Pittsburgh, PA. Mr. Owens was born in 1921, the son of John J. and Anna Owens. Both of the parents were born in Pennsylvania, but earlier relatives were all from Ireland. Francis E. Owens was a S/Sgt. in the Army Air Corps in WW-II and was killed while crossing the Pyrenees mountains to escape occupied France. His aircraft had been shot down on 4 July 1943 in Normandy. He is buried at the Ardennes American Military Cemetery at Neupre, Belgium. Sgt. Owens lived at 4400 Calvin St., Pittsburgh at the time of the 1930 census. His siblings included John Jr., Dolores, Margaret M., Catherine M., Anna T., Marion R. and James R. Mr. Carah would like to make contact with his family to return some personal items he left with the French family that sheltered him after his aircraft was shot down in 1943. You can reach Mr. Carah at [email protected] or if you'd prefer to respond to the list I'll forward the responses to him. Carol M.

    3. Clare, I don't know if this could help you, but on the Lawrence Co. gen-web site, there's an online book of biographies of New Castle, PA residents written in about 1908. There is a Vance bio as follows (partial): NORMAN G. VANCE, [p. 926] sole proprietor of the only feed and hay market in Wilmington Township, owns a very fine farm in Mercer County and is also interested in raising thoroughbred horses. Mr. Vance was born December 21, 1861, in Slippery Rock Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and is a son of William and Martha (Leslie) Vance. William Vance is a retired farmer residing at New Wilmington. His parents, James and Anna Vance, were the first settlers on the old Vance homestead, in Slippery Rock Township, where they located about 1790, when the land was still wild and uncleared.

    2. Hi Geni Friends, I am seeking someone to look-up Naturalization, Immigration or Intention papers for Grandfather: JOSEPH WILLIAMS. In the 1910 census of Cokeburg, Pa. it shows him as 50 years old, miner born in Russia, Immigrated in 1886, naturalized, married 30 years. His wife MARY WILLIAMS, Immigrated in 1887 and they have 6 children. Is there anyone who would have the skill and time to search for me? Greatly appreciated, CARPE DIEM~~~~ Lori : ) in Arizona formally from Washington, Pa.

    3. Bob-- Madeline Cobes wrote this a few months ago in answer to a similar question: "There is a book titled Directory of Penna. Photographers 1839-1900 written by Linda Ries & Joy W. Ruby that will help you. Linda is an archivist @ the Penna. State Archives in charge of photographs. The book lists all known photographers by the town or city they practiced in AND the span of years they worked there! It can be ordered from the PA State Archives if not available locally to you."
