Subject: Re: PATCH SURNAME His database can be downloaded from his web site at http://www.che.eng.ohio-state.edu/~brodkey/patch.html. In my search for the STUEBGEN surname, I have come across an Ada Stuebgen married to Mr. Patch. (Father is Charles Fredrick Stuebgen) and (Mother is Sophia Hagmier Stuebgen) Their children are: Mack, Ike, Ruth, Emma, Elizabeth, Ralph, and James. The STUEBGEN'S were from Allegheny County, Butler County......Western PA. I know there was a "General Patch". The time frame would be about the late 1800's to early 1900's. Have you run across any of these names in your searches for the PATCH family trees? Thank you so much for any information. Would you contact me by e-mail if there is any connection. Beth M.

I just want to say thank you to all the people who have given me advice and offered to help regarding my inquiry. It has been very helpful and much more than I expected.

Someone on this list has talked to be me before about the connection between the Cochrans and Dodds in the early 1800s. I have a little more info about the Cochrans and would like to compare notes again. Sara

Christi, The best way to locate these people is to use the census index. Some are available online, others may be used by way of soundex. You could receive help with this, by posting the names you are looking for and their location in the census years to these maillists, your local library, and some Indexes are available at www.ancestry.com. Pat "Volunteer of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness at http://www.raogk.org/"

Have you checked to see if City Directories are available for the city and date you are researching? Rose

I feel a silly asking, but I wonder if there's anyone who can help me understand how to find info on a census. I know what streets my ancestors lived on at the time of various censuses, but they lived in large cities. I'm really not excited about searching through every page of a city census at the local library. Is there a way to find the street relatively easily?

Looking for ggrandfather BERNARD MCGONAGLE b. 1840 Ireland. I have his pension records (Civil War-OHIO) that says he was in Butler, PA in 1901. He had left his wife and six children in abt 1895. Any ideas? Many thanks Sarah

Hello, I am new to this group, and married to a man named GIBSON, whose family we are researching. Whew, there sure are a lot of Gibsons in Butler County. Last week we visited the Westminster Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Saxonburg. We know where most of the folks buried there fit into our family tree but there was one couple, Joseph B. Gibson, 1854-1931 and his wife, Barbara, 1850-1919 about whom I do not have a clue. I have never even run across the names in connection with any of the other Gibson families in the County. Perhaps one of you know something about this man and his wife. Thank you very much. Gibby

There is a long URL address - I'm on aol and I have to go thru www.rootsweb but when I get there I can't find anything to take me on. Can someone guide me thru the steps - very elementary, please.
