    3. Dear Listers, I'm seeking help with my brick walls. 1.) Adam FREDERICK (my g-g-g grandfather) was born in 1791, his wife Sarah DRESSLER was born 1793, they may have lived in Curryville, their son John D. Frederick (b. 1-20-1813) wed Elizabeth BURGET (b. 1-3-1817) and raised his family in N. Woodbury. He died in 1892 in Blair. I'm looking for death notices or anything else on Adam and Sarah. 2.) Abraham GIBSON. I have no birth or death info on him, all I know is that he may have worked for PRR and that his son Harry H. GIBSON was born in Duncansville in 1853. His wife's name may have been Sarah. Looking for him, his birth or death dates, obit, cemetery, marriage--ANYTHING! 3.) William WEIR came to PA from Scotland in 1887 with 3 children-Wm. Jr. b. 1881, AGNES McALLISTER b. 1883, and Mary b. 1886. 1900 census found him in Logan Twp Blair CO married to a Mary from Germany with 5 Keiper step-children. Would like to find naturalization papers, death cert, obit, anything on him, especially who the mother of his 3 children was as well as where they came from in Scotland. I DO know that Agnes was born in Motherwell, Scotland. I know this is a lot to ask, but if someone could point me in the right direction, I will be more than happy to head back to PA for more research. Also, where can a genealogist find inexpensive lodging near Altoona/Hollidaysburg while they're in town? Michele Gibson-Pierson Michigan
