Hello Folks: Just letting you know that The Perry Historians, a genealogical library located on Rt.34 just outside of New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. will be hosting their annual Advanced Genealogical Workshop at The Harry Lenig Library on Saturday, April 10, 2010 beginning at 9:00 a.m. and running until 5:00 p.m.. This workshop is FREE and open to the public. Harry Focht will be discussing and explaining different resources that are available at the Court Houses - those that may not be as well known to the genealogists as are the Wills and Estate Records... along with other documents and areas of search that may help you get through your "brick walls". Don't forget to bring along your own family research, as you may have free-time in the afternoon to utilize the resources available at The Perry Historians for your own research. Please note that Lunch will be "on your own". You may pack a lunch and eat in our kitchen area or visit one of our local eating establishments nearby. For more info or to let us know if you "think" you will be attending, please feel free to e-mail Donna Heller Zinn at Donna@ThePerryHistorians.org.

I did a google search for the book and it was published by the Gratz Historical Society. Have you tried getting in touch with them? PO Box 507, Gratz, PA 17030.

Folks, My cousin's stepfather was a Richard T. FOX. His parents, it turns out, are buried in the Millersburg, Dauphin County Oak Hills Cemetery. James Garfield FOX April 2, 1881 to May 19, 1955 Carrie Haines FOX 1888 to January 1, 1948. Does anyone know more about this family? Thanks! Vince Summers

Oh, I am so disappointed. I was wondering if it was just that the newspaper did not print it. I guess I will never know the rest of the story. This was my grandfather's brother. My grandfather, Lloyd Zeigler, died in the 1918 flu epidemic just two weeks before my father was born. I'm trying to trace all the family who came from Perry County, PA to the Harrisburg area. Many thanks to all of you who tried to help.

Re the truncated Harold H. Zeigler article, the page and newspaper as it appears on Ancestry was not cut off. The problem seems to be a layout error by the newspaper, as the remainder of the article is nowhere else on the page or the following (last) page.

Hi Elizabeth, I only saw just what you saw. Checked all the pages and the next day. I did notice that Ancestry did not have entire pages (all the way down to the bottom). The rest of the article you want is most likely below "Rheumatism", however when they microfilmed it they did not film entire pages. Every page was cut off. How frustrating. So sorry.

I looked and couldn't find any more than you did. Bob M.

Hello list, Does anyone have a subscription to Ancestry.com who would be willing to look up one specific thing for me? I used a free trial recently and have now discovered that I only found part of an article from a newspaper about the death of my great uncle. I'm in need of the rest of the article, which must be on another page of the paper. The newspaper is "The Warren Tribune" (Pennsylvania) The date of the paper is Monday, Sept. 19, 1927 [ If you enter his name in the search box it will come up in the results......Harold Zeigler. I do not know if any of the other results are my family or not. I can't read enough to tell since I only had a free trial which has expired.) Toward the bottom of the second column (directly above the word 'RHEUMATISM') is an item that starts out as "Highspire, Sept 19-----Knocked from the side of a freight car on which he was riding in the yards of the Pennsylvania railroad here, Harold H. Zeigler, 44, a railway conductor, was almost instantly killed under the.................. The article stops in the middle of the sentence!!!! I am really hoping that it is continued somewhere else in that paper! Thank you for helping, Elizabeth

I looked too, I sent you a copy of the page, if everything worked out right, and looked on several adjacent pages, forward and back, with no results. I only had 6 hits on the search. The particular item I sent was the only one that had both the first and last names in the same article. This was also the latest issue with both names, there was no follow-up issue with additional data.

Hello, Would anyone have access to the 1920 & 1921 City Directory for Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, PA? I am trying to pinpoint what year my ggrandfather died. His name was Solomon ZEIGLER (ZIEGLER). He and his wife, Cora, are in the 1920 'census' in Harrisburg. But Cora is a widow in the 1922 'city directory'. I need to see what it says in the directories for 1920 and 1921. Thank you in advance, Elizabeth

Thank you Roger and Bill. I have never been able to find a record of Catherine Henninger's baptism, January 1815. Further I am frustrated that researchers of Sebastian and Barbara have never acknowledged nor mentioned that there was one boy and one girl under 10 years of age on the 1800 census. At the baptism of Catherine and Jacob Fleischer's first born Harriet, b.1834, Sebastian and Barbara were the sponsors, leading me to speculate that Catherine was their daughter. We all know that Sebastian could be an uncle, too.

Hello, I am trying to contact Evie Fieseler <fieseler@earthlink.net<http://us.mc314.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=fieseler@earthlink.net>> who used to be on this list. The email address does not seem to be valid anymore. We had corresponded a while back regarding a high school yearbook she had from her mother- 1928 Sylvanian. At that time I did not think any of the ZEIGLERs in the yearbook were part of my family. Now, I have found out that they are and I would like to contact Evie Fieseler again. Thank you, Elizabeth

Can anyone help with this request from a person in Holland? "Please assist me in regard of the following. I have an interest in WW 2 history, especially in the US servicemen that fought for our liberation. I do research about US servicemen that were killed in WW 2 and are/were buried in the US Military Cemetery in Holland, near where I live. I am searching information about and in particular a picture from: Arnold Goldberg, PVT. His Army service number: 42176260. He was born in 1920. According to NARA he resided at Dauphin County, PA (Harrisburg). He enlisted July 26th, 1944. He was killed in action April 16th, 1945, in Germany, and was a member of 36th Armored Infantry Regiment (3rd Armored Division). He was buried in the US Military Cemetery in Margraten, Holland. In particular I am seeking a picture from him. There may have been some kind of article in a newspaper in 1945, or in a yearbook from his school. Local societies were not able to help. Any info/help will be welcome." Thank you in advance, best regards from Holland, Antoine Nouens bulge@hotmail.com

Hi Everyone, Is there anyone going to the county historical society that would be willing to copy two family obits for me?  I tried writing to the local library system and they said that they don’t have newspapers from the early 1900’s.  Is this true?  I would greatly appreciate any help or advice that anyone has on how to obtain these records.  Here is the info: Priscilla Matter died March 11, 1919, probably in Elizabethville. Elizabeth Tharp died Feb. 28, 1913, probably in Elizabethville. Please contact me off-list if you can help.  Thank you very, very much.  Rich oldbat153@yahoo.com
