Well there is very good news and not good news. Not good news- Ancestry tech support told me "Due to contractual agreements with the owner of this collection, we are not permitted to provide the ability to print or save copies of the records." Very good news- Steve Belin is the man of the hour with this procedure. Simply turn off the enhanced image viewer and magnify the image to 150 to 200%. Right click the image and save as usual. Oh, and when you're finished, turn back on the enhanced image viewer. WAY TO GO STEVE. And thanks to everyone who offered suggestions and advise on this. Jack

Hello List, Does anyone have information on the family name of the mother of Mary Bambrick who married Charles A. McGonigle? Mary was born around 1856 and died about 1952. I show her father was Francis Bambrick and her mother's first name was Margaret but I am not sure of the correctness of either of these names. Thanks, Robert McGonigle Columbus, OH

Jack, Not being able to print or save the image you see is troubling and strange. I went to the William Albert McGuire document you mentioned in your post. I found what you already found. What Ancestry.com allows the user to do with images of these documents is not like what it allows with the other images. I could not find a SAVE button, nor could I print the actual document either at the image screen (through right clicking or through a button) or the screen before that that allowed printing. I'm sure that what you discovered was that it allowed only a transcription to be printed and it was not even a transcription of all the information that appeared on the document images. Perhaps if you contacted Ancestry.com about the inability to print or save the document, they would correct the problem. Perhaps the SAR just wanted you to know of its existence so you could order it? See the additional information on http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2204&enc=1 You will see a link that you can click on to order a record copy of it, and you may also be able to request research of the SAR's files for this ancestor. The image you mentioned is of an old SAR application. Today SAR may (or may not) require additional proof regarding this ancestor that they need to tell you about. Lee Anne

Jack, I haven't used this document set on Ancestry, but it should work like all others I've used..... click the 'save' button at the top and tell it where to save it to on your hard drive. These usually are saved as JPG files. Then go to the folder where you saved it and click on the file, which should open in the windows image viewer. There should be a choice to print or enlarge. This should give you a finer resolution to the image than just trying to copy the image you view on Ancestry. You should also be able to pull the JPG image into Word if you wish. I usually open them in PhotoShop to enhance the contrast and crop them, but if you don't have PhotoShop, use whatever image editor you have. Good luck!

I went to the DAR website and found links for their index and requested a copy of an application for my Lechler ancestor that was done in the 1950s. The copies were 8 1/2 X 11, so big enough to read if the handwriting was legible. They weren't very thorough in checking sources back then and the file I got had misrepresentations and mistakes in it, but it was still interesting to look at and gave me some leads on some family lines that I had not yet pursued. So try googling SAR and see if they have a web site that might let you request copies of the application you saw at ancestry.

WRECK OF THE DAY EXPRESS - Chapter 7 The Story of Johnstown By J. J. McLaurin - Editor Harrisburg Telegram Harrisburg, PA James M. Place, Publisher 1890 Copyrighted James M. Place 1889 Pages 74 - 75 Hardly a shred was saved from the trains, the passengers having left baggage and garments in their frenzied flight. Many had neither hats nor wraps, but this was scarcely thought of in the confusion and excitement. Bitter lamentations for missing ones tempered the joy of the survivors over their own safety. Twenty-two of their number had been snatched away. Names and residences could not be fixed at once, nor was their identity positively established for weeks. Efforts to obtain an accurate list resulted in the following: Mrs. Fanny Tarbell and three children, Cleveland, O. Cyrus H. Schick, Reading, Pa. Miss Eliza Stinson, Norristown, Pa. John R.

A number of organizations have been digitizing newspapers and books out of copyright. Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page Penn State University libraries http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/ Take a look at the Civil War newspaper collection The Library of Congress http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84024546/1889-06-01/ed-1/seq-1/ One of the newspapers digitized is the Pittsburg Dispatch (provided through Penn State). If you want to read the story of the Johnstown flood as the news came out on June 1, 1889, start with the above link and move forward. Pages are available for download in either pdf or jp2 (new version of jpg, need to investigate what software is needed). I've skimmed 3 books written in 1889-1890, and David McCullough's book published in 1968, trying to find a passenger list for the individuals on the Day Express out of Pittsburgh. Still haven't located one, although between individuals reported killed and individuals interviewed after the flood, could create a list of at least half the 100-110 individuals on the train. One of the conductors said he had a list that was given to a railroad manager. Under the advanced search method, might be able to find articles relating to children orphaned by the flood and what happened to them. > To: [email protected] > From: [email protected] > Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2011 08:57:25 -0400 > Subject: Re: [PACAMBRI] orphans of 1889 Flood > > Virginia: > > My grandfather, Conrad Raab, was orphaned in the 1889 Flood, losing both parents.

Looking for anyone who can provide any information on Luella E. Reuscher 1921-1994, married to Donald Martin Conrad 1914-1959. What was she like, etc. Is anyone in contact with her children; Mark, Mary Ann, John or Linda. I believe the kids still live in the Pittsburgh area Mary Conrad-Hoffherr [email protected] For every human there is a quest to find the answer to why am I here, who am I, where did I come from, where am I going. For me that became the important thing in my life. Everything else is secondary. George Harrison

Is there anyone on this list who lives close enough to the court house in Ebensburg to check a name on the naturalization index for me? The name he used here is Peter P. Bolents, but the census has indicated spellings of Balint and many other variants. Since he was Slovak, any spelling is possible, especially since he apparently could not read or write. According to the census, he arrived in 1881 or 1882 and was naturalized in 1908. The only official date of residence here would be his marriage record in April 1885 in Clearfield County. I have already checked naturalization records in Clearfield and Centre counties. Ellen
