I did a google search and found 2 companies: 1. National Copying Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan 2. National Copying Company of Atlanta, Georgia And both discussed some very old photos.

Hello Fellow Listers: Does anyone know anything about what appears to be a Photograph Company by the name of National Copying Company? I have just acquired some old unidentified pictures and three of them appear to be very old pictures with the "National Copying Co." logo under the photos. The photos also appear to be "touched up" with ink or pencil markings changing the appearance of the people just a bit - adding hair where there was none - darkening the eyes - making the neck look slimmer, etc..

Hello Fellow Listers: Just letting you know that the Perry Historians Library located near New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. will be closed on Wednesday, November 24 in celebration of Thanksgiving. We hope that this does not inconvenience anyone planning on visiting our library. Thanks! Donna Heller Zinn volunteer

Looking for any info on HARRITT, TOPPER and MENTZER between 1750 and 1850. Happy to share info I have. Thank you. [email protected]

I'm new to the listing. A renewed interest since visiting Gettysburg last month. Would anyone on this listing know of the ancestry of the family that owned the Bushman Farm on the National Park site? Thank you, Judy Bushman Card Washington state

Interestingly, I bought my copy of this book from Family Line a number of years ago. It indicates no author, no publication date and no ISBN number. It is also 305 pages, not 317. My book does include birth dates, baptism dates and many witnesses/sponsors, and additional information where available. It is in the same format as the series of 3 books of church records for York County, which were done by Wright and Bates. I believe the original poster's complaint was that the book she had seen did not include the baptism dates, sponsors, etc. Is the book now carried by Willow Bend a different book?

Hello again Fellow Listers: I have received many, many replies to my previous posting concerning the book I'm in search of - Adams Co. Church Records of the 18th Century. I had posted that I thought it was not Wright who published the church record book in question. I had initially thought he was the one who had done various other church records book. Thank you for "putting me right"! It was Humphrey who did the other books! I am so very sorry for my mistake - I hope I did not cause anyone problems by being adamant in my postings about Wright being the author of these books. Thank you again for all the replies to my previous posting. You folks are always such a great help! Donna Heller Zinn of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.

Hi, I am looking for information on some Hill's. Isaac Hill who was born 1693 in London, England and died 1798 Plumstead, Bucks, Pa. I don't have his wifes name either "first name" or "Maiden name" His father possibly could be Abraham Hill b 1635 London, England These dates could be approx. dates. Looking for any and all info on them i.e. obits etc. With one of his children being a Richard Hill b/1720/Md. So they would have moved to Md sometime before that, whether as a child or after grown up. www.iowaghosttowns.com

The Adams County Historical Society records indicate that both George and Elizabeth were buried at Evergreen Cemetery, section L&R. Although George died before Evergreen Cemetery was incorporated (in 1853), Evergreen Cemetery has a number of graves of individuals who were reinterred from other cemeteries, which would explain how he came to be buried there.

There is a listing of cemetery's at the website ( http://www.rootsweb.com/~paadams/ ) - some have links as does Evergreen. Evergreen has some "notables" listed but not all.

I have been told that the Evergreen Cemetery records include the burial of my ancestors GEORGE BLANK and his wife ELISABETH GRIESEMER BLANK. George (1759-1849) would have died before the cemetery began, but Elisabeth (1758-1854) may be buried there. How do I access the cemetery records? Is it possible that George's record is there even though he died before the cemetery began? Helen Schlueter [email protected]

Thanks to all for the directions to the cemetery.
