Hello, I am just beginning my research and was wondering if someone could give me a biographical sketch of Vincent W. STANFORD, son of Bishop W. M. STANFORD. Sorry, I do not even know when Vincent was born, but I think he may have lived in the Harrisburg area. Thank you, Sidney

I have two pictures I'm willing to share: One is of Esther PATRICK July 1912 (on the back it is stamped ...illiger, ....Pongs,.....hila., PA). The other is of a group of six women: my grandmother Nora Farner, her sister Anna Farner, her cousin Jen Farner, and three unrelated friends: Mary Matchet, Ameda Buffington, Jennie Kephart. I have scanned these photos and saved them as jpg. Nora Avery Florida Researching: Manley, Richardson, Farner, Morrow, Evans. Cumberland and Dauphin Counties.

Thanks. I enjoy doing this and learning history along the way.

(Forwarded with permission from Jill Hastings-Johnson.) To keep you posted on the cemetery bills: In case you have not been following the proposed legislation regarding Tennessee law and cemeteries, please read. Here's an update on the pending cemetery legislation. Please! let's call, write, e-mail our representatives, now. This has been placed on the Senate Regular Calendar for Monday, 7 May. There are no more hearings on the Senate side only debate. I have been told the most likely outcome will be a vote on Monday. If passed, this bill will be very restrictive to all of us who work to record, protect, and preserve cemeteries in Tennessee. On the House side the bill & amendment is currently at the House Calendar & Rules Committee, but I haven't been able to find out anything further. For copies of both the House and Senate bills, and the amendments which were passed, unanimously in both committees, last week, please go to http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/ and click on Legislation in the left index column. Enter SB1804 and then HB1353, to read both the original bills and the amendments. The Senate amendment changes the duty of owners of private property owners to allow ingress and egress to encourage owners to allow ingress and egress. It took out the wording about a visitor having to be specifically designated in writing but now adds that any maintenance or a grave site or cemetery, including the manner of such maintenance, must be approved in writing by the landowner. And many times, the current landowner is not a family member, nor may he be aware he doesn't own the cemetery. The House amendment is still very restrictive, imo. The House amendment still includes Section 4 (a) "In order for a family member, descendant or the designee of a family member of a deceased person, or a person engaging in genealogical research to exercise the right of ingress and egress to a cemetery or to graves on private property as eligible persons, such friend or researcher must have been specifically designated in writing as such by a member of the family or a descendant of the deceased." [underline is my emphasis] There's more, please take time to read these bills and amendments and speak with your representative!! Jill Hastings-Johnson Montgomery County Archives P. O.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of George H. STROEDE which was taken at the LeRue Lemer Studio in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with George likely in his teens at the time it was taken. In addition to his name, someone has written "my last boy" on the back of the photograph. I'm hoping to locate someone from this STROEDE Family so this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or if you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Lucetta Gould BECHDOLT which was taken at the D. Mahan Studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Lucetta's age noted as 22 months old at the time and her weight 26 lbs. Based on limited research I was able to locate the family in census records as follows: 1900 census of Media Boro, PA: Charles J. BECHDOLT, age 48, born Apr 1852, married 21 years, born Germany, parents born Germany, to USA 1853, a Civil Engineer Ida C.

BECHDOLT, dau, age 17, born Sept 1882, born PA Alice CARRIGAN, servant, age 17, born Apr 1883, born Ireland, parents born Ireland, to USA 1900, a Servant 1910 census of Harrisburg, PA: Ida C. BECHDOLT, age 65, a widow, 2 children/2 living, born PA, parents born PA Lucetta G. BECHDOLT, dau, age 29, born PA, parents born PA Mary H. BECHDOLT, dau, age 27, born PA, parents born PA, a Public School Teacher + two boarders 1920 census of Harrisburg, PA: Ida C. BECHDOLT, age 75, a widow, born PA, parents born PA/MD Lucetta G.

Joan, Just saw your P.S. about Penn Tigers. I assume that is Wm Penn in Hgb. My dad coached football and basketball at Wm Penn(shortly after the school opened in 1927?). Had to be around this time as I was born in Hgb. 1930. John Harris was certainly their rival. I remember the Wm Penn band marching down 6th st. on their way downtown after victories. Glad that somebody spoke for Wm. Penn. P.S. My mother taught French at Wm. Penn. > > From: "Joan Bretz" <jbretz1@earthlink.net> > Date: 2007/04/25 Wed AM 06:34:26 EST > To: <padauphi@rootsweb.com> > Subject: [PADAUPHI] Heritage Quest Access > > FYI - I learned just yesterday that the Dauphin County Library System now > provides access to Heritage Quest.
