Hello, Can anyone tell me if Winfield was married to an Etta. I know he was married to Florence Ruth Thorne and she died in 1925. Florence Ruth was a sister of my grandmother Gertrude Harriet Thorne. In doing my census records for 1930 I can not find Winfield, but I do see W. S. Stearns on Church St. in Meadville, which is where he and Ruth are living in the 1920 census. Also living with W. S. & Etta are Neva & Treva Karns, granddaughters, both age 9. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks and HAPPY THANKSGIVING Betty Macdonald in cold but sunny KS

List, I am interested in the family of Charles Drake listed in the Cambridge Twnsp census in 1860. Does anyone know of this family and who the children married? I am esp interested in the daughter Ellen age 13(looks like) Would the county have marriage licences in the late 1860s? Thanks for any help Beth This message was written using Web Email from ACC http://www.accnorwalk.com

Good news! Ancestry.com has now indexed the 1930 census for PA (at least all the parts of Western PA I looked up.) There is a free trial period, which I found by clicking the 1930 census link at http://ancestralfindings.com/. Marilyn Mills Hesse [email protected]

Saw this on ebay and thought some researcher might be interested in it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1580084945 1895 Meadville PA City Directory W/ ADS We have a nice old edition of Meadville City Directory 1895-6 published by W.H.

Hello veterans and newbies of the RootsWeb. I have received permission from the listowner to make this offer. There are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are more than 41718 prisoners on record from the Union, ( 5056 from Pennsylvania )and quite a few who were held prisoner here as Union regiments from Confederate states. There are also nearly 13000 marked graves of those who died here. I thought I would send my offer as these would lead to a great many descendants who might be looking for them.. I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides as well as all Americans who gave their freedoms for those that we enjoy today.. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 41718 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I also have the continued update database which is dated October 01 2002 . . I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking . Please email me directly at [email protected] If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Hi, I am having difficulty working out if these two are related. The sources I have looked at are a bit confusing and would appreciate anyone's assistance. Source: Directory of Crawford County, 1879-80, page 253 - John McFARLAND born Erie Co., Feb 13 1800 Meadville merchant; treasurer of Allegheny College; elected president of the Merchant's National Bank in 1864; married 1834 Salome Atkinson. Source: Crawford County History, 1885, page 750 - James E. McFARLAND born Chambersburg, Pa., Jan 4 1817; published the Crawford Democrat & Meadville Courier; appointed Deputy US Marshall; elected Prothonotary; served as postmaster; elected president of the Merchant's National Bank in 1865; married 1838 Mary Scott. My thinking is that the county history might be wrong about James E. McFARLAND being president of the Merchant's National Bank. It might have been confused between the to men who I don't think are related. I have John McFarland's undated obituary from a Meadville paper which confirms all the facts published in the directory, the details of which I have shorted for brevity. The obit adds: "...married Miss Salome Atkinson. Seven children were the fruit of this union, five of whom are still living. His first wife having died, he was married again in 1843 to Miss Augusta Atkinson. There were four children of this marriage, three of whom survive...." Which one was president of the Merchants National Bank?? - Ed Sinker in Herefordshire

Betty- My grandparents, Fred and Nettie MILLS, lived on the Bortner Farm in Greenwood Township in the 1930s and/or 1940s. I don't know whether they bought it or rented it. Have you researched Bortners in that era enough to shed any light on that property?

While reading the 1880 census in Greenwood, Crawford Co. for John H. F. and Jane Armour Bortner I discovered a niece living with them named Mary Armour age 5, born KS. Would anyone out there know more of this Armour family? John and Jane had sons Brazilla and William who both married into my Anderson family. Since I live in KS for the time being I am wanting to do what I can to search my families who had relatives that lived here in KS. I am wondering where this Mary was born in KS, did her parents die here or did they move back to PA? Thank you. Betty Macdonald [email protected]

I don't have any information on the Shreve Ridge Cemetery but I am also a Shreve decendent. I would like to know more about this book if you have any information. I have ordered the Genealogy and History of the Shreve family book by Luther Prentice Allen, do you have this one? My great grandmother was Emma Bellinger Shreve, her father was John Shreve, his father was Richard Shreve. Do you have a connection to this Shreve family? I know a few that still live in Erie
