Hi gang: I just found one of the best kept (unintentional I think) secret links. This is a commercial site, ie. they want you to purchase copies of wills from them, but there rates are reasonable ($6.00 per will). The big thing is that they have the index on line. I checked the one PA county I had already ordered wills from and they had them listed, so it seems legit. The URL is; http://www.wasatch.com/~dsam/sampubco/search.htm#testator Beaver co. is one of the ones listed. -- Larry Thompson http://www.epix.net/~lt0168/index.html

I am looking for information on Fannie PIERSOL and Frank W NEELEY. Fannie was born to Scudder Hart PIERSOL and Elizabeth WEAVER between 1853 and 1870 in Beaver County. She was a sister of my Gr Grandmother Sue Piersol MARSHALL. I remember visiting her as a child when she was living with her sister Kate, I believe. Fannie and Frank had a number of children according to my late mother, however, I cannot find any information about this couple in family records. And Kate married Sampson P ALLEMAN. I would like to get in touch with descendants for Fannie and Frank. Cuzzins, where are you? Thanks.

I found this site on House Historys How to trace the Genealogy of your home http://www.clpgh.org/clp/Pennsylvania/houses.html Many people are searching for historical information about their home and property. Who originally owned the land? How old is the house? Who built it? Who has lived in it? To find the answers to these questions, you must examine many different types of records. There is no single place to find this information. This pathfinder is designed to acquaint you with some of the historical records that are available, where they are located, and what they can tell you about your home. This seems to tell those of us who are looking into past historys of family homes where to seek that info Sharon TX

Hi John, Sarah Neely born Feb.14, 1827 in Beaver Co. PA is my gg-grandmother. She married Alexander Campbell. I don't have much on the NEELY line. I do not even have her parents' names. I do have some information I have not put together yet. Some I got from the file at the Carnegie Library in Beaver Falls and others from people online. I would be interested in investigating this further, but my mother is ill now, and I am very busy.

I found another map site : http://www.livgenmi.com/1895.htm The person who did this site said: I entered data from the 1895 World Atlas into table format so those cities which someone cannot find in the 1880 census or the 1900 census, may be found here. Enjoy Sharon TX

Incase anyone is interested there is a 1895 map of PA at this site http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/map_sites/hist_sites.html#americas The map is very detailed in names of towns and the counties are in color.....Its a Rand McNally map and really pretty...

looking for anyone researching SWICK surname in Beaver County, Pa.

Hi Gary, I have one that hopefully you might find! J. McClure Wilson b. abt 1835 to Samuel Wilson and Anna Boise (sp?). He was living in Beaver Falls, Beaver Co, in 1885 when his father died in Allen Co. OH. The "J" stood for James, I believe. He may have run a livery stable there. Would like to have more specific dates and spouses name if possible. Still looking for J. McClure's grandfather's name. His father, Samuel Wilson was born 20 Nov 1802 in Darlington, Beaver Co. He married abt 1830 in PA or OH to Anna Boise. Thank you, Gayle in WA gayle@olypen.com ---------- : From: G. R.
