Hello, all, I am new to the list and am posting the surnames I am researching and the ones that I have a lot of information on. VOLK - came to Beaver Falls from Heidelberg, Germany in 1866. August and Christina Wagner Volk and son, August. I have info on this family in Germany. Cornelius - Decendants of Abram Cornelius of Baltimore area. Isaac, his son, came to western PA in 1801 from Chester Co. after serving in the Revolutionary War. The family lived in Butler Co. and branched out to Mercer and Venango and married into families in those counties and surrounding ones. SHOWALTER - have info going back to Switzerland in the early 1700's. After coming to Philadelphia before the Rev. War, the familiy lived in the Allentown area, Shenandoah Valley, VA and migrated to western PA after the war, settling in North Sewickley Twp. ARMSTRONG - Ross Wayne Armstrong married Annie Showalter and they lived off and on in Beaver Falls. Where they were in the off years, I have yet to discover. Neither is listed in any death indeces in the Resource Center, even though RW disappears out of the directories in the mid 1930's. RW and Annie's daughter, Edna Olive, married Charlie Cornelius. Their daughter, Ruth Evelyn, was born in 1902 and married Charles Volk. Wow, the family tree in a nutshell. I have a lot of detailed info. My mystery people are RW and Annie. I may have found RW in the death index in OH. I was hoping to find his parents names and have a hunch there may have been a ROSS family in the North Sewickley Twp. area who married an Armstrong. May be way off base. I belong to the ARMSTRONG -L list and nobody has any record of RW. I have enjoyed working on this project for fun for several years and have read as many history books as ones on genealogy. I have met some remarkable people who have shared a lot of info with me and I am willing toshare with others as well. I live in Upstate NY and don't get to Beaver County very often. The people at the Research and Resource Center have been wonderful and very patient. Hope to get some mail from the list soon! Cathy
