An E- Mail to Jane, came to my E- Mail MSweesy645?? Sorry Try it agian!

Someone asked: << If not, tell me what kind of library is the Carnegie Library? Is it public or genealogy based? >> I haven't seen anyone else answer this question, so here goes my attempt: The Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh is part of the Carnegie Museum. It is a public library, and has everything other libraries have. Plus, it has what is known as the Pennsylvania Department, located on the second floor of the building. The Pennsylvania Department is a collection of many types of publications and documents pertaining specifically to Pennsylvania, including many resources that are helpful for genealogical research. This is also the location of the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society, which is a major source of genealogical resources. The following url will take you to the Carnegie Library Pennsylvania Department's home page, from which you link to the main page for the library, should you so desire: http://www.clpgh.org/CLP/Pennsylvania/oak_penna3.html. Hope this helps! Irene Crawford JTJTJ5@aol.com

Does any one have a Gallagher that married a Stewart in Armstrong Co. I don't know any first names. Gin in Topeka, Ks

Does anyone know where the Rumbaugh Cemetery is. It's in Brady's Bend or Miller's Eddy. It must have been some sort of family/private cemetery. If I could just find out where Miller's Eddy is, I would have a head start here. Thank you very much. Jane

In Beers "History of Armstrong Co.", page 811 there is a Henry Gilbert Miller, had land in Mahoning Twp. and also a farm in Red Bank Twp., died in 1865, married Susanna Shick; they had a son Henry but no dates given. The first Henry's father and grandfather were both named Jacob. Does this sound like anything?

Someone said Gallagher. I have Hamilton Gallagher, married Martha Doutt, 1865. Now Martha was born in Armstrong co., and the family was in 1870 Census, Armstrong Co., PA. Their children were Ada, Samuel, John, Harry, Maude, Jessie, William. These are from the 1880 census, Butler co., PA, where they lived by that time. [Except William, and I don't know where I got his name] I have nothing else about this family. My info about the Doutts is fairly extensive, but nothing about the Gallaghers. Frances

If anyone has a history book for the area, could they please look up Millers for me and see if they can find a Henry Miller who was probably born about 1795 - 1805, married to Mary and had a son James. He had a farm near South Bend which both he and his son James worked. I am looking for info on this family. If anyone has any info, I would appreciate their assistance or suggestions.

re Sherrif Sale. I assume the Sherriff sale info was taken from the newspaper. My ancestors had a similar experience in Bradys Bend during a financial crisis there, or so the family story goes, but to my knowledge there are no newpapers from the area that survived. Is there anyone in the Kittaning area that could check this out? The name is John C Benson and this happened probably after 1879. and before 1885. the story goes that "they took everything...even the beds of the baby twins. (the twins were born in 1879 and the famiy was still on the 1880 census. ) researching BENSON KAIN GALLAGHER bradys bend later jefferson co. also researching WEIS WEISSENBERGER GARNER RENNER elk co BRODERICK GLYNN mahoning co, ohio -- ireland

the books "If These Hills Could Talk" and At Rest In These Hills" were published by the Bradys Bend Historical Society. (membership to the society by the way is only $2...can you believe it) they are available for only 15 dollars each plus postage I have been hunting the address of the society, but cant locate it this morning. Also, they can be ordered on interlibrary loan. The society publishes a nice newsletter once a year. well worth the membership fee. Im still looking for anyone who has more info about the area in 1860s thru 1880s...pictures of neighborhoods, etc, or any general info not covered in the books. thanks Joe Broderick Cincinnati Ohio

Henrietta Miller died in childhood and is buried in PA. The family was living around/in Bradys Bend. Do you know if this book is still being published? If not, tell me what kind of library is the Carnegie Library? Is it public or genealogy based? I am very interested in this book. Do you know how to get in touch with the Brady's bend Historical Society? Thanks for sharing the information. Wow, this is exciting.. Regards, Maureen

Sherry: T'was me, who is researching the Doutts. The two families you found in the 1900 Elk Co. census where mine. Thanks for thinking of me. "Brients@aol.com": The Philip Smith you found a cemetery record for, may be a brother of my Sarah Smith (who married Absalom S. Doutt). The age is a little off, but I have found a lot of discrepency in ages. (I had born about 1841). But I noticed Sarah's age varied 3 or 4 years in various records. Since Philip died in 1914, I will send for his death certificate. If I'm lucky, and they find it, it might even give his parents names. Thank you so much! Absalom Solomon Doutt (Jr.) said he was born in Armstrong Co, PA, but he enlisted in the Army from Ironton, Ohio (he and a brother had been working there). His mother filed for divorce in Armstrong Co., PA about 1844 or so, and married Samuel Blair in 1845. Background on this family: Absalom S. Doutt Sr. married Elizabeth McFarland in 1829, and he deserted his family in 1837. A. S. Doutt Jr. was the baby of the family. I have a lot on the Doutts, but of course, always looking for more. <grin> Frances Doutt Smith

If the death you are interested in occurred in Armstrong Co. before that time, writing to the PA Vital records will probably result in a letter advising you to check at the county. Armstrong Co. does have a ledger at the Courthouse in which they recorded some deaths before that. This book has been filmed by LDS and is available thru them at any of the FHC's. Frankly, you would be better to get the films of the records, which is a copy of the actual book entries. Note there are films for the index to the book, and the actual book. Good luck.

Dear List, This is my first posting and I share some findings. I found a good reference at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, it is titled: "At Rest In These Hills: A Record of Burials in Small Cemeteries of Bradys Bend Township and Perry Township". The book was published by Brady's Bend Historical Society. With it I located my GG Grandfather's grave in Ss Peter and Paul Cemetery. I was rather surprised at the way I found the cemetery, it has been abandoned and completely overgrown. I just happened to catch a glimpse of some tombstones through the trees. I also received very valuable information from St. Patrick's Church in Brady's Bend. The name is alternately spelled FORQUER and FORKER. Anyone wishing to share information, please let me know.
