I am Interested in conversing with you about this as we are relatives and my cousin Barbars Allen Safreed has done considerable research into our family tree. I often visit the gravesite of Isaac and his wifwEva at the Beaver Cemetery and was talking with my wife this morning about a trip to the Antietem Battlefield in Maryland and then to Sharpsville where we understand that Isaac fought and was wounded in the Civil War. We have copies of his discharge papers and pension applications from the Civil War also. Again I would like to hear from you, Richard "Dickie" Umstead

He has conducted research both in the US and in Croatia. As Mr. Jerin stated about his seminar, "I have had Croatians of all 'ethnic groups' attend my seminar” and this seminar will be of interest to many Americans of Slovak, Czech, Hungarian, Serbian and German descent whose ancestors came from Croatia." Mr. Jerin will present such topics as: • How to get started with your family tree • The do's and don’ts of genealogy • History and origin of Croatia and Croatians • Croatian immigration to the United States and the journey to America • How our ancestors lived in the "Old Country" • Meaning of you family name • Tips on how to find records at Ellis Island and other Ports of Entry • Locating birth records, marriage records, death records in Croatia and in the US • How to translate Croatian records • Is she a third cousin or a second cousin once removed… how to figure family relationships The seminar will include examples of searches using attendee info… we will actually attempt to locate records of someone ancestor at the seminar using the internet And you will receive a personal copy of Robert’s handbook, “Searching for Your Croatian Roots”, which is yours to take home with you for further study and research. Robert also offers research assistance to seminar participates as often as they need it in their future research. Since we have so much to cover lunch will be included in the cost of the seminar. And at lunch we will view a video which was recently done by the Port of Hamburg Germany that shows recreates an immigrant couples journey from their homeland, across several countries on foot and by train, what they went through at the Port of Hamburg and finally boarding a ship to America… which is much like the journey of our ancestors. Since seating is limited, REGISTRATION is required for this Saturday, October 21st Seminar. Register by calling the Monessen Public Library, 326 Donner Ave., Monessen, PA 15062, Phone: 724-684-4750.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EdB.2ACI/1195 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on a James Shields, b. abt 1824 PA, and Maragret Eagan, b. December 16, 1816 PA. The 1850 census show James and Margaret, children John W, b. abt. 1848 PA, and Eliza Jane, b. 1850, living in Limestone, Clarion Co., PA. James and Margaret were married abt. 1848. I am looking for a marriage record for the couple. There is a tree on line indicating James Shields, born in Beaver Co., PA. There are several Shields in that county. I do not find any Eagan living in either Clarion or Beaver Co., however, there were several Eakinfamilies living there in 1840. So possible spelling for Margaret may have been Eakin. This family moved on to Iowa after 1853, with one child born about 1856 in Illinois, with the youngest child born in 1859 Iowa. James died between 1859 and 1860, most likely Iowa. Margaret married Amos James Ball, 1863, in Cedar Co., Iowa and moved on to Kansas. Any help on this family would be appreciated.
