I am looking for any information concerning ANNIE DUCKETT, b. in Austria Dec. 1873, the wife of Martin Duckett and mother of Alice, who in the early part of the 1900's was living in Rush, Centre Co. Many thanks! Loretta Myrter

Yes, although there is also one in Clearfield County, PA, and perhaps others.

Is Ferguson Twp., in Centre Co., PA?

I'm talking about the Marathon Bakery in Altoona, PA that my great-grandfather Vlachos owned. Alexis Francos

I often go into AOL's geneology chat room. Last night, [email protected] and I were in at the same time. I am searching for several lines in my family. One last name is Vlachos. I happened sto mention that my great-grandfather Petros Vlachos was a baker who sold flour all over the Mediterranean before he came to this country c. 1904 and eventually established and ran the Marathon Bakery in Altoona, PA. He was my maternal grandmother's father, and I would appreciate any information on him and/or his bakery. I know he wore a mourning band because my great-uncle Gregory (his oldest son) died in the flu epidemic after WWI. Alexis Francos p.s. I'm not sure how he spelled his name in English, but it sounds slavic, and my grandparents did, according to my mother, talk about Roumania.

I didn't have the 'l' in ones sent prev. Sorry - Both lists very active - Irish traditions Many came to VA - WVa then North to PA where the coal mines were richer [email protected] [email protected] Mimi Taylor

Hi, What years are you researching in Ferguson Township ? There are Cemeteries as well as some census online.

Hi Marge, Yes, these people are related to me. If you go to my database at www.rootsweb.com and go to WorldConnect and search for them you'll find them in my file (Jkhouser84). The connection: If you take them back in my file to Johannes Brossman (1739-1807) and Anna Maria Heyl (1742-1812) -- Anna Maria is the sister to Anna Christina (Heyl) Loesch 1740-1816, my 5th great grandmother. Thus Anna Maria Brossman would be an aunt of mine and her descendants would all be my cousins. I have a copy of Schuyler Brossman's book on the Brossmans, which gave me everything I know about the family in Berks Co. I did not know about D & E Communications -- that is interesting indeed.

I'm not sure which parish, but I found a death record that corroborates a location called Castleshanaughan, Donegal from 1803.

Sue, I have nothing on this Lola but would love to share info on this line. Jared Fisher's mother was a BROSSMAN from Berks Co. and they tie into my Loesch/Heyl/Becker ancestry down there.

Our tomates were made with home canned whole tomatoes, heated, then the dumplings dropped in. Never had them with bread until college. Still have to find anyone who had similar diah!!

Good Afternoon, I'm looking for information on Lola Miriam Ulrich. She's a granddaughter of Jared B. and Sarah Louisa Fisher who were from Penn Hall and the daughter of Clara and T. Benton Ulrich who were married in 1885. Clara died when she was 30 and T.B. Ulrich remarried. Lola was living with her aunt Mary Catherine Fisher, who never married, in Centre Hall when Mary died in 1924. She was mentioned as Lola Lusk in a will dated after 1924. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Sue

Hello Listers, Yesterday quite by accident I learned that a newly made friend is a great grandchild of the owners of the Marathon Bakery. I know that this friend would love to hear more of your memories of her great grandparents bakery. I have sent her the address for this site. She is doing genealogy on her family I believe she will be writing very soon. Thanks Kim
