Anyone know how to find birth records in Beaver County prior 1896. I spoke to both Beaver County Courthouse and the Vital Records office in New Castle but both tell me they don't hold the records prior to 1896. Please help!

Hi there. My grandmother was an Engle. She married a Bevington. The surnames are found in Pa and Oh. If you have any records of these I would appreciate hearing from you.

Hi all, I am searching for info pertaining to the WHISLER family of Beaver County. Leander was born 1833 in PA and married Mary McDonald. The family was a family of boat builders. John H. and Agnes W. Jackson Whisler were Leanders parents. Many Whisler's would have died and been buried in Beaver County somewhere and Leander and his wife showed up in Sioux City, IA in 1900 census. Can't find him there either tho. Has anyone run into this family yet? Thanks. Terri Gordon, Redmond, WA

Thanks so much for helping me out. I'll get started on checking census against these people and see where they fit. I think George Engle is probably my George Washington Engle.

Does anyone have information for the ENGLE family. Members include: George Washington Engle Charles Engle James Remington Engle (writer and farmer) George and Amanda Engle* * these are new parents for my ancestor. We've been pursuing the wrong people without success. Due to an 'old' newspaper clipping/obit it has been determined we should be looking elsewhere. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Deanna Larson

Hi Cathy, There is a Blacklick Creek and Blacklick Church in Indiana County, PA, and a Blacklick Township, in Cambria County, PA, but none listed for Beaver County. That doesn't necessarily mean there never was a place by that name in Beaver County. If you want to check out a place names try the following address: <http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html> Jim Morrow Cathy Modarelli wrote: > > Hi Betty, > ...Someone on > this list has just told me that there is no Blacklick in Beaver County, > which is where my grandfather was born, and so perhaps we've been looking > for the wrong county all this time...

Hi Deanna, You might try Grove Cemetery located at 1750 Valley Ave. in New Brighton,Pa 15066. Their phone was 412-846-0780. The aera code may have changed since it has been awhile when I was there. My wife's relatives (KIDD) are buried there. I hope this helps you out a little. Good luck, George lll

Does anyone have access to maps or history of Beaver County that would show where the Sweeny Farm was in Shippingport, PA? My ancestors, Jeremiah Bannon Jr. and Charlotte Coalman Bannon moved here when Nancy Jane was 15 years of age (1840s). Would love to have information about this family and maps, etc. to include in their history. Thanks a bunch, Deanna Larson

I am looking for the 'Grove' cemetery in/near Cooks Ferry, Beaver County, PA. My ancestor, Nancy Jane Bannon Engle died and was interred October 11, 1906. I checked the mapping site, but it doesn't pull up. Might it be under a different name? Thanks, Deanna Larson

Deanna, Here is an article I found, my line is Purdy, but it does mention a George Engle. If you happen to find any information on this church that they belonged to, would appreciate you letting me know. Have been looking a long time. Bev Reference: The Heritage Collection, History and Biography of Beaver Co. Pa. Volume 2. The United Brethren in Christ Church of Industry Village, Beaver Co. Pa. was organized in 1824 by Rev. Henry Purdy, with the following charter members: Mr. and Mrs. Biddle, Mr. and Mrs. John Knight, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Neville, Mr. and Mrs. John Chamberlain, Mr. and Mrs. George Engle and Mrs. John Cotton. Two church-buildings have been erected, cost unknown; one in 1849 and one in 1898. Industry was formerly connected with the Muskingum Conference (Ohio). Among the ministers of this conference who have at various times sered the church here were the following: A. Biddle, John McGaw, Jos. Paxson, E. Sluts, A. Brazee, John Todd, John Swihart, William Turner, __ Legget, George Fast, M.L. Spangler and William Neville. The class is now in Allegheny Conference They have labored effectively in various fields in Ohio and Indiana.

I don't know since I have benn unable to go back any farther. It is possible since he named his son, Isaac and his grandson , my great great grandfather, was named Isaac William. Do you have any details that may connect them?

Hi Betty, Thanks so much for your reply! I just love the internet, it's wonderful having access to such a wealth of information online... I've been online for years, and when I first checked there wasn't so much, haven't checked back until last week and am overwhelmed... We have actually visited one of the LDS places, I think my father has several times, but we haven't had any luck with this particular person. We've never found him in any of the census' we've checked, but perhaps we have been checking the wrong ones...Someone on this list has just told me that there is no Blacklick in Beaver County, which is where my grandfather was born, and so perhaps we've been looking for the wrong county all this time... How frustrating! <G> I did try the Mormon online site but had no luck there with this name either. I am now wondering if I will need to join all the PA county mailing lists and hope that someone somewhere can point the way... Warmest Regards!
