i would go to 2 places: --the Beaver County courthouse. go back to the Register of Wills office. they have a book that lists all the early wills of the county. this will give you the will book number and page number, if your ancestor left a will. all the early will books are on microfilm, the ladies there will get the roll you need out of the drawer, and put it in the film viewer for you. you can make copies off the microfilm for 50 cents a page. this is also the office where the deaths, from 1893-1906, *I think*, are registered, in big old books, also the marriage registers are in this office. also stop in the Recorder of Deeds office. any land bought or sold in the county, from 1800 to yesterday, is registered in this office. look in the Grantor (seller) and Grantee (buyer) indexes, there is a book for transactions from 1800-1880. this will tell you which book volume # and page # to look for. There is often a surprising amount of family information contained in a deed. all the deed books are available in the actual book form, as well as on microfilm rolls, whichever you prefer to look at. --then go to the Beaver County Center for Historical Research. this is located in Beaver Falls, upstairs in the Carnegie library. they have *everything* (and i am not exaggerating too much). they have warrantee maps, county histories, farm directories, newspapers on microfilm, cemetery listings, censuses, landowner maps, tax lists, a surname file to find others working on your surname, old school yearbooks, obituary files. and, most important, the people who work here know where everything is. in fact, they seem to know everything about Beaver County, period. so just ask! good luck, JoAnn.
Hi All. If I were to go to Beaver Co. to do research on my ancestors 1700-1850, where would I go? Are there several locations for research? Beverly Benner Murphy Researching the following surnames: BENNER, KETTERER, CAMPBELL, NEELY/NEELEY
if anyone remembers a few months ago, i was hunting for the tax lists for the early years of the county. well, i found them. wouldn't you know it, they are at the Beaver Center for Historical research (those people have everything ;) don't they?). what they have is not the original lists, but very very good copies, of every township, for the years 1800-1840. these are fun to look at if you are a nebby person, as most of us genealogists are, and you wonder just what your ancestor owned, and what his neighbors owned. if anyone knows what they mean by "OCCUPATION", please tell me, i can't decide if they mean what the perosn does for a living (if that's it, why not just say 'farmer' or 'miller' or whatever it is) or if they mean a dwelling place, like their house. Here is an excerpt, taken from the Hopewell Township List of 1937: [note: there's a monetary value next to each item listed, i just didn't feel like typing it] --McCague, John 6 a land, 1 horse, 1 cow, occupation --Morris, Uriah 193 a land, 2 horses, 2 cows, occupation --Miller, Hugh 400 a land, 3 horses, 3 cows, occuaption --Miller, Samuel occupation --McMillan, Charles 102 a land, 2 horses, saw mill, 2 cows, occupation --McElheny, William 200 a land, 40 do, 100 do, 3 horses, 3 cows, occuaption, new building --Oliver, William 1 house and lot, 1 cow, ?trade --Obney, William 108 a land, 2 horses, 1 cow --Oliver, Robert 2 a land, 1 cow, occupation --Prentice, James 50 a land, 1 horse, 1 cow --Prentice, William 1 horse, 1 cow, occupation --Prentice, Alexander 84 a land, 2 horses, 1 cow, occupation
