Hi list, I am trying to track an ancestor Christian/Christopher Hoover. I believe he was born in Indiana County Feb., 1826. After that I have traced him through census records and he seems to be in Armstrong County, in Cowanshannoch. I have he and his wife Catherine nee Price ther in 1860, 1880 and he in 1900 as a widow and living with his daughter Ann in Atwood. He died in 2/1901 and Catherine 5/1889 I assume in Armstrong County. I know the statewide death registry wasn't in place for those years so my question is, did Armstrong County keep records then and if so how would I get them? Thanks for ant help. Gretchen

Hello Esther, I have a grandaunt Ella FRITZ who married Lewis W. J. CAMPBELL and they lived in Butler Co., PA. Ella raised Lew's children. Any chance one of them is your grandmother?

I have just discovered the name of Ola Mildred Beck, born March 30, 1904. She married Ralph Leroy Knepshield. Could someone please tell me the name of her parents and Grandparents? Most of the Beck line in Armstrong Co. appears to be mine, and would like to connect them. Thank you in advance. Norma Rogers

I've had several people contact me from the lists about the Native American Ancestor Roster, and my book series mentioned in my signature. I would like to answer them thru the lists so that I am not sending this out multiple times. I am still collecting Native American Ancestor Roster registrations, these will appear in Volume III of my book series Who's Looking For Whom In Native American Ancestry. This will be the first volume to concentrate on the research of one state. If you, or anyone you know that is researching Native Ancestors in Pennsylvania and would like to have the added exposure for their research that these books provide. All you have to do is fill out a registration form. About the NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTORS ROSTER I am not a Genealogist for hire. I do not research anyone's ancestors for them. I only refer researchers to each other and research resources. The roster contains the name of the person doing the research, so I am able to refer researchers to each other in the hopes of reuniting lost relatives. Anyone contacting the Roster about your ancestor will be given your contact information. They will contact you directly for further information. Registration is FREE. But each Ancestors name must be submitted separately. You can make as many copies of the registration form as you need. You can make as many copies as you want and hand them out to other researchers as well. I'm sorry but I cannot accept them via email. I need the signed registration forms on file giving me permission to give out the contact information. All registered Ancestors information, and researchers contact information will be published in upcoming Volumes of "Who's Looking For Whom In Native American Ancestry". When the form is received, I will check the Roster for others researching the same names. If no one has registered as researching the names or a similar surname, I will check other files at my disposal for information. These other files include: Tribal contact addresses. Information on researching specific tribes. List of surnames common to certain tribes. URL for Websites of interest Registering your ancestors ensures you can take full advantage of future referrals. NATIVE AMERICAN ANCESTORS ROSTER REGISTRATION When you request and recieve the Roster Registration form. Please type or print legibly, I cannot be held responsible for any information incorrectly copied from your form. And tell me your family tradition in 250 words or less. Keep a copy of the form for your records. You must send a self addressed stamped envelope if you wish acknowledgment of receipt. Then, Please contact me by mail if any of your contact information (name, address, phone #) changes. Keeping your contact information up to date will allow me to refer those enquiries interested in your ancestor.
