My Bruce ancestors lived in Slippery Rock area of Mercer, which then became Lawrence. In his will John Bruce left his land in Red Bank to his son Alexander and Jacob his youngest was to live with Alexander. I found Jacob living in Beaver Co Hopewell in 1850 and in Moon Twp in 1860. Does anyone know if any part of this area was called Red Bank? I never could find Alexander and he was not mentioned in his brother's will of 1826. So may be he died? Dorothea Wallace Silbert

Alice: I am sorry to hear of the passing of such a great lady. Please convey my most sincere condolences to the family of Nancy Lindemann. I have tentatively planned a trip to Beaver Valley in the summer of 2003 and one thing on my agenda was to visit the Society and meet Nancy and thank her for all of the help she has given me in the past few years. It was through her that I joined the Society. Undoubtedly, she will be greatly missed around there. Thanks for keeping us outside of the local area informed.

Ny sincere condolonces. My husband and I were planning a trip to Beaver Falls Genealogical library to do genealogy. We had heard for several years it was the best place to find information. I am sure she had those who worked with her that will be well trained, who will try and fill her "shoes". Thank you for the informatin. Frankie, CA

It is with great sadness that I inform the list of the death early this morning of Nancy Lindemann. Nancy was a past president of the Beaver County Genealogical Society and the driving force behind the society for many years. If you have ever mailed a query to the society or if you have ever visited the BCGS website, you have seen the fruits of Nancy's labor. She was a native Beaver Countian and an avid genealogist. Nancy was a great believer in the power of the computer and owned one of the very first personal computers available to the public. She was a graduate of Geneva College and the mother of three boys and a grandmother several times over. She will be greatly missed. Alice Kern

Hello Charles: I am always pleased to see those familiar phrases that are a striking give-a-way that the person is from somewhere around Beaver County. That is: "I was down there a few years ago". It is always "down there" or "up there" and the writer rarely states where it is that they were "down there" or "up there" from. It is a dead give-away...you are definitely from the area. (Just kidding you a little..I do the same thing!) Shenango Twp. is now in Lawrence County, PA I have two booklets that list information many have found useful. I don't know if they will be of help to you or not. 1) I have a listing of Beaver Co. Marriages between 1830-1873 that were announced in the local newspapers there. I find Andrew SANDS (Raccoon twp.) married to Suzana Heath (Raccoon Twp.) by Thomas W. Ayers, Esq. on 1 Jun 1849. Also, I find an M. BOARDING (Pittsburgh) married to an M. SANDS (No twp. listed) by Rev. S. Hair on 31 Dec 1846. Also, I find Jacob HOOK (Ohio Twp.) married to Martha SANDS (Moon Twp) by John Kerr, Esq. on 17 Nov 1830. 2) I have a booklet listing Delayed Birth Registrations of records of birth from 1872 to 1905. These have a lot of information on them. I have a John Sylvester SANDS, Docket #2, Page #213. If he is in your line and you want to get a copy get back to me and I will tell you how to do that. Hope this helps. Bob Reese, Santee, CA (Email: [email protected]) Transplanted Beaver County-ite.

The following was posted by Carolyn Shearer on the PAFRANK list. Many names. And good luck. Please note: I have no further information about these names or the site. Marybeth Corrigall =================== << Here is another great site for early PA marriages. While filed under Lancaster County, Rev. John Casper Stoever was an itinerant minister who traveled widely in PA. Remember also that he was German, so when searching for nonGerman ancestors you need to be creative with the spelling. eg Montgomery is "Mt.
