    3. My great-great-grandparents Agnes (Klein) and John Klein/Kline (yes, they have the same surname but they're from different towns in Bavaria), immigrated to the US in 1851, with their infant son John B. Pittsburgh was listed as the arrival destination. John, Agnes, their children, and Agnes's mother, Terrace (Theresa) were listed on the 1860 in Madison Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. John Cline was listed on the 1870 census in Susqhenanna Township, Cambria County, with no wife and his four younger children. He married his second wife, Elizabeth (Schmitt/Smith) Weiland, widow of Nicholas, in November 1870. [Several people have uploaded their genealogies on Ancestry and Rootsweb with John's wife's name listed as Agnes Elizabeth or Elizabeth Agnes. WRONG. Two different woman.] John and Agnes's son, John B. Kline, daughter, Catharine married to George Bower, their 2 children, Mary and Annie, and Agnes's mother Terrice (shown as father), were listed on the 1870 census in Brady's Bend Township, Armstrong County. John B. Kline was married in Cambria county in 1871. I've been unable to locate George and Catharine Bower/Bowers/Bowser/Bauer/Bowes on any further census. John Kline's will, written 1898 registered 1908, states he leaves to his daughter Catherine's children, so my assumption is she had already passed away. Theresa (Eberl) Kline was born in 1793. John and Agnes's youngest son, George, was born in 1865, so assume Agnes passed away between 1865-1869. Agnes Klein was the oldest of nine children. In addition to her mother, three of her brothers were also residing in Clarion county in the 1850s. Peter (1829), Mathias (1831), Joseph (1833) and my John Kline filed their declaration of intent in 1855 and were naturalized in 1859 in Clarion county. I don't know what happened to the brothers. It would appear the family originally settled in Clarion/Armstrong (border changed) due to Agnes having family in the area. After Agnes passed away, John moved to Cambria county because he had family in the area. (Marilyn Washington and I have discussed this theory.) My questions: 1) Does anyone have knowledge about these families? 2) We're spoiled. Our website has over 100,000 burials and we believe every cemetery in Cambria county identified. I've tried looking for Catholic cemeteries in the Clarion/Armstrong area, without success. Any suggestions? 3) Is there a genealogical library in this area that is open on a Monday or Tuesday or can be contacted for assistance? Thanks.
