Hello Mike and All, Unfortunately, my most beloved computer went kaput and I lost a lot of valuable info. To add to that, someone on the 4th floor of apt. bldg began running bathwater and then fell asleep. When I awoke in the morning, being on the 1st floor, not only was my bathroom flooded, but also the closet where much of my genealogy records, papers, etc. were stored. Several months ago you informed me that ca. 1860/70 Sterling Run, Lumber Tshp, was in another County, McKean I believe, and that the RC church in that area would have been St. Mark's. Since I've looked for the printout and can't find it, I assume it was with those papers that were destroyed. Is that information correct? Also, does anyone know how accessible the RC records in that area are? I am searching for particulars of the George and Elizabeth WEAVER/WEBER family who are on the 1870 Census for Sterling Run, but the copy I have does not show county. My grandfather, George G. Weber b. 1865, is listed along with sibs Joseph, Frank and Elizabeth. George left home between 11/14 years of age. I have been unable to find him on the census again until 1910 in Dubois, Clearfield County. And, have been unable to find his parents or brothers on subsequent censuses. Two daughters entered the Sisters of Mercy convent in Dubois. There is a George Weber as head of household in Troutville on later census who fits age and immigration info for George Sr. However, he is listed with two different, much younger sons. It does not say he is a widower, but no wife is listed. On the 1870 Census, George Sr. b. ca. 1830 +-, Baden, Germany, is listed as lumberman. Another question is, does anyone know what may have happened in the lumber industry in the years after 1870, which may have caused the family to move? Was there an exodus of families from Sterling Run to any particular area in surrounding counties? Any information, ideas, help, from anyone, would be most appreciated. Regards, Jan
