Hi all, Is anyone researching the BOSH surname that might have anything close to this woman? She is my 4th great grandmother and I have never been able to connect her to anyone from her family. There is ALOT of wrong info out there! ALOT is saying she was Elizabeth PALM and married George RINEHART (spelled different) in Berks County, but that is NOT TRUE!! :-) I'm looking for parents, siblings, anything to go on with this..................Have no idea where her family might have lived......... Elizabeth BOSH b. ca 1792, died Dec 30, 1866 (date as far as I can tell-from church record) Cumberland Co. mrd. George RINEHART b 1788 Cumberland County, died after 1860 sometime I have some info on some of their kids....................only came across one so far, a son Henry, who died late enough to get a death certificate so that's where I get the maiden name from.................... Thanks for any and all help! Sharon Frank

What is this information doing on the PACUMBER website? It has nothing to do with genealogy! Dad, in future please use USPS.

Had my yearly physical yesterday, from the Blood Work to my EKG and all the personal exams I got in the office which Dr. Stewart was very satisfied. But, as age is now a factor, he has me scheduled for a Bone Density scan next week, since I have shrunk a bit since last year, and he does not lile my posture when stading. Dad

What incredible research you do. Your source documentation also is excellent. You definitely deserve a "thumbs up". In my twenty plus years of genealogy research I don't recall ever seeing such inconsistent U.S. Census data. Thank you; thank you for the Hiram help. I accept that census information is normally unreliable, but consistent information over a series of consecutive census's I tend to give a higher degree of credibility. However, I don't recall ever having as many problems as I had with Ancestry.com census indexing as I had with Hiram. Using your information I did locate Henry with the surname "Mickey" in the 1870 Census. I suspect the Henry is probably a nickname his parents used for Hiram. Ancestry.com failed again with its indexing of the 1920 U.S. Census. I had to examine the raw census records since they had it now indexed under the surname "Vickey or Nuncy"; how they got that surname I don't know. I absolutely agree with you the record definitely looks like Nickey. If you zoom in on the entry it becomes even more obviously that it is Nickey. On this same page it gives the surname of his mother-in-law as Nickey. However, a few entries farther down the same enumerator record another mother-in-law entry and provid! e a different surname than the head of that family. It would appear that this enumerator is very inconsistent. I also agree with you that Emma's maiden surname is probably Mordorf. Lacking reliable sources that provide a different surname I tentatively accept the surname of the family that shows the individual as a child of the "Head" and "Wife" in the census. I have the 1930 U.S. Census for Lee M. Nickey Sr., his wife Jean Brady, and his children Lee M. Nickey Jr. and Rachael J. Nickey. I suspect you have this information, but if not, I will gladly e-mail you a copy of the census page. My Nickey database also contains over 2,000 individuals, if I can be of any assistance to you, I'm willing. Again, many thanks for your significant genealogy effort and the information you provide me. Best wishes, Brad. Nickey. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I saw your posting on Ancestry re Zeiglers....and that you had sorted our the Zeiglers of Cumberland County. I am at a dead end. David Zeigler was purportedly b 1790 in Cumberland County (near Craighead) and is buried in Idaville Zion Methodist church cemetery along with his son David R. Zeigler and son John Zeigler. David Zeigler Sr. Was in War of 1812, but so far pension records have not revealed his first wife. His second wife was Hannah Ross of Adams County whom he married at the Bermudian Church in 1838 and then had 5 children. They lived in Adams County. We found David Zeigler's obituary in Adams County stating he had 13 children... That's it...no deeds, nothing else. I'm wondering is the Elizabeth Zeigler who died in 1836 might be his first wife....just a long shot. ANY help would be great appreciated.

It states that Hiram's mother-in-law is Mary A. NICKEY. Can anyone provide information that supports Emma's surname as NICKEY as correct, or what is her actual maiden surname? What is Emma's father's given name? What is Emma's mother's maiden surname? Finally, what is Emma's mother's maiden surname? Any information you have on any of the above would be very helpful and appreciated. Hiram is my third cousin three times removed. I'm trying to update "A History of the NICKEY Family in America: 1700 A.D. - 1940 A. D.," by Ella Metsker Milligan. If I complete this task the document will not be copyrighted and made available to significant contributors and the Family History Library plus other libraries at my expense. I have the following source information on Hiram NICKEY, much is questionable: (A) The 1800 U.S. Federal Census of Frankford Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania that gives his parents as Israel and Elizabeth NICKEY. (B) The 1900 West Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania that gives his wife as Emma J. NICKEY (b. Feb. 1869 in Pennsylvania), a son Lee M. NICKEY (b. Nov.1893 in Pennsylvania), and his Mother-in-law Mary A. NICKEY (b. Aug. 1847 in Pennsylvania). (C) The 1910 Carlisle Ward 4, Cumberland, Pennsylvania gives Hiram HICKEY and Emma J. HICKey and a second spelling NICKEY (Ancestry.com). (D) A tombstone transcript form St. Peters Cemetery, 210 Brick Church Rd., Newville, Upper Frankford Twp., Cumberland Co., PA 17241 shows "NICKEY, Hiram 1861 - 1921" and "wf, Emma J. 1869 - 1911".

Just a suggestion on resurfacing slate. Try contacting someone who does slate counter tops, which are popular now as well as granite. They may have a solution.

I realize this if off topic, but I wonder if anyone on this list knows how one would go about refinishing the surface of a real slate chalkboard that is at least 60 years old.

I think the historical society site mentioned that the applications were on microfilm.

Bob, I just noticed your question on location of marriages. Marriage IN a church seems to be a fairly recent practice. Some were held in the church rectory/parsonage etc. Not that many in the church sanctuary. During the late 1800's many were held in the home of a family member or relative.

The official marriage license applications and their disposition should be on file at the recorder of Wills Office at the Court House. The listing at the HS likely a duplicate.

Hello Fellow Listers: The Perry Historians, a genealogical library located just north-east of New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. is hosting another of their Special Presentations on Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. at their library in the Hoverter Archives building. Special speaker, Mr. Andrew Wyatt is an archaeologist at the Harrisburg office of McCormick Taylor, Inc..

The title of Mr. Wyatt's presentation is "An Early Seventeenth Century Susquehannock Village in the Great Valley: The Lemoyne Borough Memorial Park Site". Mr. Wyatt will speak on the recent archaeological excavations in advance of rail line construction, which resulted in the discovery and partial excavation of a previously unknown Susquehannock village site dating to the early seventeenth century.

Hi, Bob: You're quite welcome. It's certainly possible that they married in Alice's church, but I think the county would have the marriage license application if they married in Cumberland. I'm more familiar with York county records, hopefully someone on this message board can help with a lookup or can at least point you in the right direction. I didn't find their names in the marriage records on the York Archives' site. I just did some "Googling" and found the Cumberland County Historical Society ( http://www.historicalsociety.com/library.htm ) which mentions marriage licenses (1886-1930) and a marriage license index (1885-1929).

Hello Debra. I noticed the possible Belmina - Bella connection, too ... looks promising. Since the Alice BOWMAN you found in 1870 & 1880 was living in Shiremanstown in Cumberland County, and the 1900 census shows Daniel & Alice living in the same town with their four children, I would think they were married there. Didn't marriages usually take place in the bride's church? How would I locate a marriage record for them? ... do I contact the registrar in Shiremanstown? ... or the State of PA? Thanks again. Bob
