This is an answer for Dave Hirons--- South Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society P.O. Box 1824 York, Pa. 17405 Telephone # 717-843-6169 There is no e-mail address, but the very nice lady I spoke to said if you will write to her she'll be happy to send you information, and will send you a list of their publications. Good luck! Helen

I have the York Area Photographers booklet, which list W.C. Bell as having a studio at various addresses in York from 1889 thru 1942. It lists the timeframe for each address. If your photo has an address on the frame, I can look up the dates for you. There is also a list of publications with their prices at http://www.innernet.net/hively/SouthCentralPAGenealogicalSociety.htm Elaine >Dear Listers > >I have been assisted recently by one of the Assistant Librarians at >the York County Heritage Trust located in E Market Street, York, PA. >I have been seeking information on a photographer named W.C.Bell who >I understand to have been active in Pennsylvania in the late 19th >and early 20th Centuries. > >I have been told that there is a publication entitled "York Area >Photographers, 1840-1997" which is available through the South >Central Pennsylvania Genealogical Society.

She is into the Family more than myself. Good luck in your findings. Let her know about your pictures.

I'm new on this list, so I don't know if the KEMPER surname has come up yet or not. I descend from the Lancaster Co, PA, KEMPER line which started there in 1738 with John Henry KEMPER. Can any of you tell me when and by whom the York Co KEMPER line(s) started? A year or so ago I wrote to a lady in York whose deceased husband was descended from KEMPERs whom she said were from Virginia, but she knew little about them. Help! Please fill me in on York Co KEMPERs. If they descend from Johan who came to Germanna, Virginia in 1714, then they are cousins to me. The PA and VA lines were started in America by KEMPER brothers.

Thank you Tammy and Stephen, I'll check these places out. Lucy

I was just reading one of the rootsweb updates, and saw where this new list was formed.....is there a specific area of interest, other than just York Co, or is it just a second list?

Solomon RITZ born ca 1780-85; died before 4 Sep. 1820; married to Mary WISE in 1808 in MD. There were so many RITZ's in PA we suspect Solomon's father & mother were either in PA. or had moved from PA. to MD. Or Solomon may have crossed the state lines. Anyone researching RITZ name that may have a connection to Solomon, my gr. gr. gr. grandfather? Need Solomon's parents names or any information that might be of some help. Thank you.
