Was wondering if anyone out there has ever heard of Farmer's Rice or has the recipe for it? My mother used to make it when we were young, and I believe it was something her mother made when she was growing up. They lived in Blair Co. from the 1930's - 60's, so I thought I would give this a shot in case it was something that had been popular in the local area. Thanks for any help.

To everyone on the list that responded to my question about the Prison Census, thanks so much. Maxine

Hi List, Would anyone on this list know if the diary of Capt. Robert Tipton (War of 1812) is available on-line anywhere? I have read parts of it in books, but they are not available to me now. Larry Dean Vancouver, WA, USA

hi Maxine an list , The quick answer is NO , They would / should / could be enumerated at their Home , There is no reason to expect to find them listed with the prisoners , UNLESS he lived at the Prison , Actually a very simple thing to determine , You need to View the film that has the Prison on it , Where was the prison , State / county / town , ? look at the Index , The institutions are sometimes listed on a separate page ?? , Phil ----- Original Message ----- From: "max" <maxthemoose@worldnet.att.net> To: <PABLAIR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 20, 2002 5:05 AM Subject: [PABLAIR-L] Prison Cencus > Hi List, > I'm hoping that someone on the list can answer a question for me.

Hi List, I'm hoping that someone on the list can answer a question for me. My grgrandfather was a prison guard at various prisons in the U.S. I can't find him or his family on any census. Would they be on a census with the prisoners? Would those census be separate from the other census? Any help is appreciated. Maxine

My Lazuka relatives came from Juniata, but I do not know which one of those two Juniata's you are referring to. They lived in a 'shanty town' area back in the 20's. They were very poor. Does anyone have an idea which area this would be? I have not been able to locate the family on either the 1920 or 1930 census but should be able to. I have been told Stefano Lazuka died in a railroad accident Feb 15, 1929. He left 5 children and a wife behind. His wife Josephine Hartacz Luzuka died three years later in an auto accident.

There is a Bloomfield Twp in Bedford Co. PA.

Hello List: Does anyone know if Bloomfield Twp., Bedford County, is now in Blair Co.? I am interested in the Snowberger Cemetery which was listed as being in Bloomfield Twp., Bedford Co. If not, is there some town on village on a present day map that might show me Bloomfield Twp. Thanks. Edna

Poplar Run is a small village named for a creek and is in Juniata Twp., Blair Co. between Dry Run and Puzzletown, going towards Blue Knob. If you can find Newry on a map, Poplar Run should be near by. Juniata Twp. is no where near the small town of Juniata, which is outside Altoona. : ) I just love the town names here in PA.

Hi List, Thanks to all who answered this question. I started genealogy in the 1960's and it was slow and tough going. All my genealogy goes back to Pa. as I was born in New Kensington, Westmoreland Co. but have lived in Texas since 1952. After what seemed like getting no where and feeling like I was the only one out there researching my family, I gave it up in the early 1980's. I started back in the 1990's after my husband got e-mail and showed me how to surf the wed. Wow! I'm so glad I kept all the work I had done up to that time. I still have some of the same old brick walls but not as many. I've also had a few surprises. My Morgan line is a good example - even my aunt can't believe what I've found. Our family was under the impression that our grandmother, Mary Ann Morgan, and her two sisters were the only ones in her family to come to America and settle in Altoona, Pa. I excepted the family story but some of the information I was collecting made me wonder. To make a long story short I've now found her parents, a brother and what may be 4 sisters all living in Altoona. In the 1900 Pa. Census Mary Ann says she came to America in 1865 so I can only assume all her family came at that time. Mary Ann married David Laing May 11, 1868 in Altoona. That information comes from the old family bible. David came to America in 1863 from England and worked in the steel mills in Allegheny Co. and also Westmoreland Co. I now wonder how they met? Seems to me in 1868 Altoona and Allegheny Co. was a little bit of a drive. :0) Thanks again.
