I am stuck on my own family tree, so I just look around the Pennsylvania county boards to see if there are things I can help other people with. ( I am originally from PA, so most of my research is centered there) When I take breaks from my own research, I later see things when I go back that I missed before. It does seem odd that the family would go from Beaver county to Venango and back to beaver, but I have certainly found stranger things in the census records before! Best of luck in your searching!
