Colleen, are you aware that one of Rebecca's relatives passed away recently? http://www.thompson-miller.com/obituaries2/beechey_thomas/beechey_thomas .htm Is this Arch's wife? Social security death index: ALLIENE JOHNSTONE born 10 May 1890; died Apr 1979; last residence 85020 (Phoenix, Maricopa, AZ); last benefit 85020 (Phoenix, Maricopa, AZ); ssn 168-03-6154 Pennsylvania Are you still looking for death dates in order to get the death certificates for Beechey and Johnstone? Or are you just wondering if the state will let you order them for Rebecca, in light of the state form asking for you to declare your relationship to the deceased on the order form? -----Original Message----- From: paclearf-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:paclearf-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Colleen Waggle Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 3:23 PM To: paclearf@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PACLEARF] Fw: Beechey/Johnstone Hi, Arch Johnstone in that newsclipping Clearfield Progress, Saturday June 11, 1960, page 2 HELLO, WORLD! Mr. And Mrs. Arch Johnstone of Curwensville are the parents of a 7 lb, 4 oz baby boy born in the Clearfield Hospital at 5:21 p.m. June 10. Mrs. Johnstone is the former Alliene A. Guglielmi. This Arch was the brother of Rebecca Johnstone. Her father is also Arch Johnstone. I'd love to be able to get Edwin Beechey or Arch Johnstone's and wive's death certificates for Rebecca. I'd have them back one more generation for her. Is there a Tombstone inscription book that I could buy that would have her family in? I'm from Ohio and Pa... Is a little different for researching. My husband found out that he was helping a 5th cousin once removed and that she was already in our family tree. Our society received a grant from our area's hospital to do this project. We have to account for all money spent, & we have made workbooks to help out in getting started. We asked the local nursing home activities director if anyone would be interested and we went to the nursing home and talked to a few women. We now have 5 ladies in wheelchairs that the nursing home comes to the research room each Friday and we have one volunteer for each lady. We where surprised by how much everyone is enjoying this including the volunteers. Most are unable to write and are a little hard of hearing so we do the writing in the workbooks and you would be surprised at how much they remember by just showing them census records and such. It really helps jog their memory. We plan on having a few volunteers go to the nursing home and help record the memories for those interested but can't get out to our research room.

I'm trying to find the death dates so I can order the death certificates for her. She can't remember when they died or where they are buried and I thought that would help. Her father was born in Scotland and her mother was born in Wales. . Alliene Johnstone is her sister-in-law, she remembered her and her maiden name. She didn't mention Thomas Beechey who died recently but he is related to her. I'll print the obituary and give it to her, it is nice that there is a picture to go with it. Wow, you have given me a lot of information for her. I was feeling bad that I haven't found much for her yet. Her family being from Scotland and Wale so recently makes it harder. Most of the ladies we are helping have gotten back further than Rebecca's so far... Thanks! Colleen
