Thanks to everyone who helped me obtain the civil war pictures from the link provided on this site. I was finally able to click on the original link and get through and what a fabulous array of pics! Thanks again, A few years ago I started to research my fathers side of the family and came upon a priest that looks identical to my grandfather, but I can't find any references to him in the info I have. There was mention here as to where to write regarding Catholic priests for more info but I don't remember and can't find it in my files. Can anyone help? I'm looking for Peter Fox, He was assigned to Holy Name from 1902 to 1905 then sent back to his original parish where he lived out his life and passed away in 1928. The Cambria County Historical Society gave me a small obit, but did not include parents, siblings or date of birth. If you have the Holy Name Church book that was sold as a fund raiser when the "new" church was built in 1968, his picture is in it. I've asked my aunt but she has no idea who he is either. In general, I'm searching for the obit of my grandfather, Francis B. Fox, the blacksmith from Ebensburg, married to Mae Buck. I cannot locate any sibblings and I am not to sure how to go about it. His father was Henry (Fuchs) Fox from Germany married Charolette Rett (?) (I have this info at another location) but that's about it. Any help would be appreciated.

However, since you mentioned Henry Fox, I'm going with the assumption that it's the German family.] Did you look at the census records for a priest named Peter Fox? There's enough of an age difference between the two of them that it could make a difference if you find the 1900, 1910 or 1920 census records. Of course, there could be another one, but these are the two I have in my records. * * * Some other records.
