I have been working on the surname of Bortz for some time now. I have been in contact with a few of you. I wanted to let you know a couple of things, 1- that my computer decided I had to much in it and it deleted everything. The hard drive was unhurt. But of course I lost everything that I was working on but not backed up. So there went all of your e-mail addresses and the lines you were working on. Please resend your information because I am very interested. 2- I have received 3-4 family charts and family group sheets for different Bortz families. I am anxious to fit them all together. Animate please send me your e-mail address. Thanks Nora borts@gte.net

Here goes so far: 54 to keep it 30 to dump it 11 who never heard of it 1 who really wants help with it A slight breakdown of these groups are: 18 really love it 12 really hate it There were several offers of assistance and I will probably be looking to them for help. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSES TO MY QUESTION. JUDY LV NV (not only the Gambling Capital of the World, but a great place to live)

Hi All, Has anyone had any experience with the program "ULTIMATE FAMILY TREE"? Please give me any input while I can still get my money back. TIA Judy LV NV

Thanks to all who you out there who answered my query about John KELSO and those who sent me information from Warners and Jordans histories. Are there any other histories or accounts where John is mentioned? Karen Booth Millsboro DE

Would the person who just e-mailed me with information on name/address of the person who has the corner on the market on John Irwin, please resend. Your message just disappeared. I've gone through the trash, the inboxes, samples, etc. and it is nowhere to be found. His e-mail address is not valid at this time and I need to send to him by Post Office. Thanks so much, and sorry for the general posting. Deanna Larson dlarson@swift-net.com

Hi! Is anyone familiar with the Joseph Colligan Funeral Home? I know it was in operation in 1955, as a relative of my husband's was buried from that facility. Debbie

Hello to all, In Beaver Co., I am looking for a family, by the name of STONE, who lived in Vanport, PA. I know they were there in 1892 when my husband's grandmother, Evalyn M. Stone, was born. I also know her parents, a Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stone, were living there in 1940. Any knowledge of these people would be a great help! Debbie Hasson

Does anyone on the list know about a Col. John Irwin? He was listed as the executor on my ancestor's, Mathew Graham Sr., will proven 20th September 1787. I think I also saw his name as the commander of another ancestor's Rev. War company/etc. But, that was from Beaver County area. Although all of that area was one and the same it seems to me. I would be interested in a little history on him, and what his relationship might have been with my ancestor. Thanks, Deanna dlarson@swift-net.com

These are some notes that Helen Clear wrote under the pictures of the cemeterys. This is for private use only. Not to be posted. Grandview Cemetery is very aptly named. Visitors receive a "grand view" of the Beaver River Valley above Beaver Falls. North Sewickley Cemetery since 1830- This popular burying place in northern Beaver County is often refered to as "Upper Presbyterian". Four generations of the Druschel Family are buried in Burns-Unionville Cemeter, New Sewickley Twp. The land for the cemetery was given by Samuel Burns (1816-1899) and his wife Ruth (Shanor) Burns (1822-1910). Concord United Methodist Church and cemetery are in North Sewickley Township. Another Concord is Presbyterian and is located in Economy Borough. Ruth Nye is buried in Mt Pleasant Cemetery in Marion Township. A Baptist church stood here at one time. (I can actually read tombstone Nov 1818-9 - May 30 1897tlf) Beautiful St John's Protestant Evangelical Church, located alon Penna. Route 68 in New sewickley Township, is better know as "Burry's Church". Founded by persons of German origin, it has been serving local residents for more than 150 years. (tombstone in pict- CATHARINE ZAHN, GEB,FRISCHKORN, GEBOREN, 4 SEPT?r 1821, GESTORBEN, 11 NOV 1889, at very bottom it says, CHRIST?? 1ST MEIN LEBEN UNO STER??? MEIN GEW?I? -tlf) Lillyville Church of God in Franklin Township was once named Bethel Church. The beautiful stone on the right is in that cemetery. Stone says "THOSE WHO LEAVE US IN THE SPRINGTIME OF THEIR LIVES WILL GREET US AGAIN SOMEDAY IN A LAND WHERE SPRINGTIME IS ETERNAL" Many Beaver County residents attended church in nearby Zelienople (Butler co) and were buried in that borough's cemetery (tombstone reads: GOETTMAN, PETER GOETTMAN, 1825 -1913, ELIZABETH, HIS WIFE, 1829-1918 -tlf)

Yes, they were. Thanks for looking!

At the back of the Registration of Deaths, Helen Clear added some pictures of cemeterys and a map from 1936. And a list of 128 cemeterys. 3 are not on the map.
