Thank you to those who helped me. Much appreciated.

BARKER-BUNN - Mr. C.H. Barker, of Ebensburg, took unto himself the other day a very nice Bunn in the person of Miss Katie Bunn,, one of the mountain borough's fairest daughters. Morning Tribune, Altoona, Blair Co. PA. Fri. 2 Dec. 1881 issue. M.S.

I've heard about this neighborhood in Johnstown - some of my ancestors apparently lived near or in it at some point in the 20s and 30s. My understanding is that it was, and is, a very poor neighborhood. Can anyone tell me where, exactly, it is? Any information you might know about the area? Thanks

Your local library is most likely a branch of another library.  You should go to the main library of that system, and ask if you can have a card from them.  I search Heritage Quest at home, with my local library card.  Having the census available is really very nice.  If Heritage Quest is not available in your library system, walk into the nearest library at another system (like a neighboring county) and ask if you can get a library card.  They may make you pay a very small fee (like $15 or so), to join that system, but they may let you. You should also let your elected officials know that you expect the library to be funded well enough to meet your needs as a tax-paying citizen.  Public libraries are a great deal, yet their funding is always threatened.  Gail Dickinson (Bourdess, Thomas, Layton) and also.....librarian ________________________________ From: slbearer <[email protected]> To: Cambria List <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, July 26, 2011 9:39:32 PM Subject: Re: [PACAMBRI] Census records Heritage Quest request My local library says there isn't enough interest & will not subscribe to Heritage Quest.  I knew of another county that offered it in the past but it is no longer on their website.  I have sent e-mails to libraries that I knew had it, explained my library does not have it & asked if I could join their library but no one responds.  Does anyone know of a library that will allow some one outside of their area to join?  It has been very frustrating when you know it is there but no one will allow you to benefit from it because your not from their area or library.

My library system has Ancestry.com, also Heritage Quest and numerous other databases on all sorts of subjects, but you need to use your library card and log on in the library on one of their computers. I can log on from home using my library card to look for newspaper obits, Americas Obituaries and Death Notices. It sounds like Kelly's local library lets patrons access Heritage Quest through their library card. Let's hear it for property taxes. What started this conversation was that I found the federal census on-line for free, but it doesn't appear to be indexed. You can download the pdf and then page through it until you find the township and then go by page looking for your family. If you do this, suggest creating a text or word file and listing the township and page number for each new section. I have the Cambria census on microfilm and wrote down all the townships and page numbers on the outside of the box. http://www.archive.org/ This is the same archive where I found a number of Johnstown flood books and Cambria county books. The LDS library has the 1900 census online and the 1920 index. http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html?datestamp=1202142477613#p=home And of course, our Cambria county website has the Cambria census transcribed for 1790 to 1880 in entirety, and portions thereafter through 1930. And finally, not to sound like an advertisement, but Footnote.com has the census and other records, although not nearly as many as Ancestry.com, for a fraction of the cost of Ancestry. Last year around the holidays they offered it at a discounted subscription rate. Also, they provide you with a lot of the basic household information, including enumeration district and page number. So if you already have access to the census, i.e., download the archive.org pdfs, you might be able to look for family and location, and then open a pdf and search for the correct page. One codicil, I've had a trial membership logon for Ancestry and Footnote for several years. I'm not sure if they allow new trials access to the same information as 'grandfather' memberships. Or you can try asking the mailing list to look up a page for you. Just trying to give people a few more options to do their research. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 21:39:32 -0400 > Subject: Re: [PACAMBRI] Census records Heritage Quest request > > My local library says there isn't enough interest & will not subscribe to > Heritage Quest.

Hi Kelly, Yes, I get my "free" (property tax paid) subscription to Ancestry.com from the Columbus public library, allowed up to 3 logons a day, 1 hour each. Take a memory stick and download like crazy. I think the local LDS library carries Heritage, plus their FamilySearch.org (which is available to anyone on-line) lets you view the 1900 census and 1920 index summary. It will also flip you over to Footnote.com for other dates. However, I know a number of people who don't have or have given up their subscriptions, or live in towns that don't have free library viewing. Guess we've provided a few options.

I have Francis J. Zerbee, son of John and Juliann McGuire, living in 1900 with his wife, Mary Riffel, and children in Indiana (Noble, Wabash, IN, T-623, #410, ED 124, page 22b). Also living with them is a single nephew, John McGuire, born abt Oct. 1883 in Michigan and his parents are listed as father being born in NY and mother born in PA. Does anyone have any idea who are the parents of this "nephew" and what happened to him? I'm confused......again. Thanks Jack

I get my free census form Heritage Quest, through my local library subscription. It has a normal, advanced and by roll/page search. Check you local library and see if the subscribe to heritage Quest. It still doesn't have many 1930 census, but it's free and great images.

There may have been no complete list as passengers riding trains were not required to make a reservation. They only had to purchase a ticket at the train station and did not have to give their name. There may have been a list of stranded passengers trying to make arrangements with the railroad to continue their travel. However, this was probably a partial list as others probably made their own arrangements without contacting the railroad.

However, I'm still trying to track down the complete passenger list. I picked up David McCullough's 1968 book, The Johnstown Flood, and just started the second chapter. At the front of the book, on page 11, Acknowledgements, he comments on his sources. The last two sentences of the second paragraph contain a glimmering of what I'm looking for. ... a recently discovered transcription of testimony taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad during the summer of 1889, which has been invaluable. (Most of the dialogue in Chapters 3 and 4, for example, has been taken directly from this transcription, which, in all, runs to nearly 500 typewritten pages, and no part of which has been previously published.) I wonder if part of the 500 pages of the transcript includes the complete passenger list. There had to be a complete list, otherwise, how would they have known the names of the dead or those whose bodies were never recovered, the "?" individuals. While doing a search for the Johnstown Flood, came across two Facebook pages, Johnstown Flood National Memorial and Johnstown Area Heritage Association. Both contain interesting bits about the flood, but neither had the answer to the question as to was there a passenger list and what happened to orphans from the flood. Think I'll try contacting them to see if they have the information stored someplace. - - - - - - - - - - Search for more Cambria County information on our webpage: http://www.camgenpa.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Found a lovely 216 page booklet published in 1890, The World's Charity to the Conemaugh Valley Sufferers, by Harry M. Benshoff. Lists by district the survivors of the flood who submitted requests for aid and how much was paid. Also lists items after a name like "lost husband," "lost wife," Harrigan, Jerry's children, pages 191-192 listed Names of Widows. http://www.archive.org/

Not sure, but I saw that obit and assumed it is St. Patrick's Cemetery. St. Pats [now Fr. Ledoux's church] was the Irish Church and St. Mary's was the Polish. The churches merged into St. Demetrius, but the cemeteries have the old names. I think that burial was St. Patrick's Cemetery. The St Joseph's Church in Coupon burned, but the cemetery is still there and has a lot of Polish burials. There are four Protestant Cemeteries in Gallitzin Township and I think Jeannie Arheim read them all.

On Printing material that won't go to the printer via conventional means. Two techniques that are "work arounds" Both involve using Word (or sometimes Paint): 1. Select the material you want to Print, then use a Ctrl+C (Hold the Control Key down and at the same time press C). Open Word, then use a Ctrl+V to paste. You can then save or print the Word document. 2. Hit the Prtsc button on the top row of the keyboard. Then open Word and either use the Paste icon or use the Ctrl+V. Neither of these give the same level of quality as if you could print using the Print Icon (or Ctrl+P), but you can get what was on the screen. The second method gives you everything that was on the screen. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 3:00 AM Subject: PACAMBRI Digest, Vol 6, Issue 152 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
