Hello, I am seeking some advice as to where to look for my ancestor. According to his tombstone, my ancestor, Martin ZEIGLER (ZIEGLER, ZEGLER, etc) was born 1778-1779 and from census records, that he was born in PA. The earliest record I have of him is in Latimore Twp, Adams Co, PA. in 1807. I know that Adams Co came from York co in 1800. He migrated to Newport, Oliver Twp, Perry Co, PA about 1820-1830 and died there. Many years ago someone in my family had found a mention of my ancestor's grandson somewhere in a Centre Co newspaper article (I have their notes) but I have no further information. The article they found was very brief and just stated that a son of Solomon Zeigler and his wife (Harriet McGarvey) died at three weeks of age. The date of the newspaper was Aug 19, 1889. It said his name was Mark and that he was a twin. (Solomon was a grandson of my ancestor Martin mentioned above. Solomon's father was also named Martin.) I would LOVE to find out more about these twins!!! Where was Mark buried? What happened to the other twin?? Would the death of a stillborn or infant that died prior to this Mark be reported in the same newspaper?? Neither of these twins appear in any census records. But I am wondering why this article would be found in Centre County if they lived in Perry Co??? Where would an infant who died at 3 weeks old be buried?? He is not in Newport where the mother is buried. (The father, Solomon still remains a mystery to me but he had migrated to Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, PA about 1900 after he and Harriet divorced.) Can anyone shed some light on why they would be mentioned in Centre Co? Where would be the best place to search records for a situation like the death of the twins in 1889? Can anyone tell me the best place to go to search records for the 1700's for the area of York Co that became Latimore Twp? Thank you, Elizabeth

In which newspaper did this appear? In which township or borough did the death occur? For your other question I would recommend contacting the York County Historical Society.
