I was reading a new book in the Erie Library Heritage Room on Tuesday, it was DIRECTORY OF CRAWFORD CO, PA. Dated about the turn of the century, it has the history of each township and that part was very interesting. The back of the book has Biographical Sketches, found a couple of my names there, but the information was very inaccurate. I didn't make a note of who published the book, but it makes me sad to see this misinformation out there! Dolores Hickernell
I have a book called " DIRECTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY, PA 1879-80" (sorry I can't underline) It is published by Closson Press, 1935 Sampson Drive, Apollo, PA 15613-9208, phone # 724-337-4482. I don't have any relatives that have Biographical Sketches, just names in the directory. I just got the book a few weeks ago. Is this the book you are referring to?

Dolores, Probably it was either the Directory of Crawford County, 1879-80 or the Gazetteer and Business Directory of Crawford County for 1874. If it was the Directory of Crawford County, 1879-80, may of the bios are online at the Crawford Co. USGenWeb site -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacrawfo and, we can add corrected info at the bottom of the page on each bio. I know it doesn't help with the original book, but at least it will be correct somewhere.
