Hello, Robert TREMBLE Jr was born in Beaver County Pennsylvania in April 1907 to Robert TREMBLE SR. and Laura HUNTER. The parents divorced within two years, and Robert Jr stayed on in New Brighton, PA to live with Laura's parents and her two single sisters. (John and Susanna HUNTER and Cora and Minnie HUNTER). He would visit his mother after she remarried (James MURPHY) but was raised by Cora and Minnie. I believe he stayed there his entire life, but don't know that for sure. My Father was the first son of the second marriage, and he and Robert were in close contact for many years. Since my Father's death 25 years ago, I have not heard anything from Robert. Does anybody know about Robert and his wife and family.? Thank you for any help you can give. Nancy

This is to let everyone on the list know that Union Cemetery in Monaca has been "walked" and the records are now on file at the Beaver County Research Center in Beaver Falls. The Beaver County Genealogical Society also has a copy of the results of this walk. This was not gleaned from cemetery records but from someone actually going to the cemetery and reading the stones. The research center and the society have a rather extensive set of cemetery records.

I found my great grandfather's declaration of intent here in NY. It may have to do with different forms used at different times in our history. He came in the early 1870's and his declaration stated his date of arrival and port of entry.. I can use this info to find what ships docked on this date. His port of departure was also listed, but not the ship's name. Hope this helps. I also was wondering if the declaration could have been filed in a local court and then the final papers issued from a different city?? Cathy

Can someone tell me how to get to someone who would be willing to lookup info in Allegheny co. census records? I would like to find the William WISEMAN (WISMAN) family of Allegheny Co. in the 1900 census. The wife's name is Jenny and their should be at least two daughters listed, Anna Mae and Barbary (maybe Mary too) and maybe two boys. Can anyone find this record for me or direct me to someone who could find it. Thanks, Gloria reply to me at 1stfbc@gte.net

Today in the mail I received the info on my GGgrandfathers naturalization...from the court house I got the following a photo copy of an entry in a book dated Sept 5 1878 stating that he was from Ireland [all entries state just the country] he came into open court presented his petition to be a US citizen and having the necessary proofs and complying with the requirements enscribed bby law was duly aduited [?] a citizen of the US of A.. A paper with the seal of Pa Beaver Co. dated Sept 5, 1876 making his declaration to become one and a A paper that is the petition of his praying that he may be admitted to become a Citizen of the US...dated Sept 5 1878 .... Is this all there is? Is something missing? If so where now do I go to get it.... Thanks for any help or advice Sharon tx --

You might try the Allegheny co roots web site, or the Western Pa Gen Soc, they might do a look up for you. Is there a digest for this group? If so how do I sign on? Ris Searching : DAWSON, MACKALL, FOSTER, LIGHTHILL, LINDSEY

In my ggrandfather's papers, it listed his ship and date of immigration, and where he arrived. I went to the NARA website www.nara.gov and followed the instructions to get ships passenger lists. I just sent the form off last week.

You may want to try a ship arrival record. His declaration of intent, should list the ship he came over on. If you can get the record copy from the National Archives, it should list from where he sailed, and from where he left to get to his departure port.

Hi Donna, It's nice that you have some family photos, too bad they are not all identified. I saw that you mentioned George Van Eman MORROW in your message.

I don't know where Oley Valley is. Can you tell me? But I don't know just exactly where my early people were either. Can you tell me if there are any Goben/Gobin, Durham, or Broudy/Brody/Brandy surnames listed in your book? Thank you, Judee
