Hello again, We have been home again long enough to change our phone service and computer ISP, so that we can have DSL, or the super fast service, for my husband's computer needs and my GEN seaching. Any of you that I have been in contact with in the past, I wanted to let you know that the name remains the same but the server is different, that is: Specreatmusicepp@mindspring.com has been changed over to Specreatmusicepp@verizon.net If you should have trouble with my email, you can send it to my husband's and he will forward it to my computer. deppich@verizon.net In going through www.google.com tonight, trying to delve deeper into my Bleakney and George families, I realized that I have missed several messages which were sent to this list regarding these families and others listed below. I am sorry that I didn't think to check there before. We take my husband's laptop with us and I thought that we were receiving all of the email, including answers sent to the lists, but evidently that hasn't always happened. We will be leaving again before Christmas to be with family and those little grand daughters and will return late in January just after their birthdays. I am still working at getting my information into GEDCOM format so that I can share it with any who needed my info. I spend a lot of time doing it, but then often get myself tangled with the advancing technology and too many things on the computer, that are tying up its memory capabilities. I wish my computer skills would advance as quickly as the amount of online information increases. Hope to have it done before our trip, so that I can take discs with me, instead of suitcases full of records and references. I know that my husband would surely appreciate it! My families that I am searching for are primarily in Plumcreek Twp and South Bend Twp in Armstrong counties and Armstrong Twp, Mahoning Twp. in Indiana county. RALSTON - David and Margaret SHARP, her first cousin once removed, Nancy Agnes SHARP RALSTON MITCHELL and James S. RALSTON and Marie Antoinette BLEAKNEY, daughter of Hannah GEORGE and William BLEAKNEY 1806-1865. Hannah GEORGE is a tremendous mystery, probably born about 1812 in PA and died after 1880 census and she or someone fibbed about her age. From 1850 onwards to 1880, she only aged 22 years! Who does she belong to. And WHERE did the BLEAKNEY siblings of "Nettie" Bleakney settle? They md. William Patton, {Isabelle}, Robert McManus, a Mr. Craven, and a Ruben Farren, {Elizabeth - but the one in Washington Twp. seems to be too young?} Hannah George Bleakney is missing in the 1870 census and was possibly living with one of her daughters. In the 1880 census she is ill and living with James S. and Nettie Ralston They also had a brother Robert, born 1847 that I would like to find out about. Did he marry? Again, thanks to all of you who answered previous questions about these families? Hopefull, we will get it figured out some day. On a positive note, I did find out the where-abouts of Fergus Bleakney in the 1810 and 1820 census by going through each page of the census. He and his family are in Mahoning Twp. and in the 1840 census there is a Mary Bleakney living in Washington Twp, Indiana county, PA who is elderly. She could be his second wife Mary Wachob. But much more information and documentation is needed. They were the parents of my William Bleakney, father of my Nettie. In regards to Fergus Bleakney's marriages. His first wife was Julia Ann Cox {the spelling is more like Julyan or Julian) in Franklin county and this last July when in Chambersburg , .I found her father's will in which her death is mentioned. We brought home stacks of zeroxed papers and I don't have that in my computer records yet. But this seemed to verify that Mary Wachob was the mother of William and any later children. Will forward exact reference as I get to that record. Hope your Thanksgiving and Christmas Time will be blessed with good health, peace and safety, and good friends. Susan and Dave Eppich
