Thanks! Dawn

Dawn, I do not have this in my data base, but I have a large book that I can check. However, some dates would greatly benefit me, as this is a hand search, with no index. Dates will help me skip over large amounts of data. I also see the name Bowman on your list. This book also contains Bowman info, if you want me to check that also. Interestingly, the author of this book is Edward Bowman Espenshade, lol. Let me know. Yvonne

I find these stories quite interesting. They help to color a picture of a community at a particular time. Rita

Hi List, Is there really books like this out there? Does anyone know where I could possibly get copies of them? That would be wonderful if they were available. Thanks, Judy

Would anyone know anything about cigar making in Harrisburg in 1895?

What year was the record for Mary Ann Warner and Rinehart Warner?? I sure appreciate your reply..... this line is so elusive, I suspect that there is a link between Rinehart and Mathis At 11:55 AM 2/1/01 -0500, you wrote: >There isn't a divorce record for them, just Mary Ann Warner and Rinehart >Warner, sorry.

If someone has access to Pennsylvania Divorces, Dauphin County1788-1867 by Eugene Thoorpe or a copy of Dauphin County Marriages 1744 - 1854 compiled by Donaldson and McQuillis would they be so kind as to check for the names of Mathias WARNER and Elenor(Ellen)LONG (LANG) WARNER. I am also in need of info regarding a marriage between a Henry PETER and a widow WARNER. This marriage would have taken place between est 1800-1820 I would appreciate any help regarding these two ancestors Best Regards Debbi Gould

I don't know that I can help with the Yorty name, but I sure have a ton of Espenshade's if you need anything. Yvonne

Maybe someone can help me. I went to Hummelstown Cemetery in December and made some pictures of tombstones. Took a picture of Earl L Yorty and Wife Sara Stephenson. Who is the brother of Violet my Mother in law. In the same area there were several Yorty's : Samuel Z and w. Elizabeth F, both b 1853 ,Harry F Yorty b. 1886, and w Emma b. 1885, John Z b. 1891. Daniel F Fasnacht b 08/27/1889 wife Mabel E nee Yorty, b. 10/16/1893. Does anyone know who these yorty's are. Violet and Earl father was Harry Daniel Yorty. Thanks Betty NC

I wish only that I had great answers on your ancestors, but can help out slightly. In the "Chronicles of Middletown", C. H. Hutchinson in 1906 wrote in great details much of the town's history. For instance, the Presbyterian graveyard passed through many owners, including, on June 7 1802, WILLIAM CRABB, among others (page 18, C of M). He further writes, in 1906,....."We have no data, however, respecting any church organization prior to 1850. The records are lost, having probably been among the private papers of some one of the original members, who are all dead." My records indicate I photographed your ancestor's obelisks on a very cold January 18, 2001; hence the snow (couldn't show the cold!) Not too much unlike the day I checked out the EBY's for Carolyn. The January 29th photos of the Presbyterian graveyard show only a monument, probably a bird-bath from the more recent past, but no tombstones were visible through the undergrowth, and no records found on them as of now. I'll keep it in my ongoing research. Forgotten Cemeteries <http://home.att.net/~charliefies/Forgotten.html> -- Regards, with regrets to Netscape6 users (what a mess!)

Hi list, I wrote to Register of Wills for Dauphin Co asking for a copy of a birth record for my grandfather they wrote back and said they couldn't find one I gave them two other possible last names to search under and the day, month and year, they also said birth records are recorded in county wherein original record was issued. So if he was born in Steelton PA where else would I look? If any one can help thanks. William Decatur WINDLE January 13,1898 Mother Jennie COFFIN father? Isaac Harrison WINDLE SANSOM is a possibly?
