George Price et al::}~ Thanks for the comments. You may want to contact the reference I give on my Shelleys Island Shelleys page, since much of the ancestors' data came from her (the photos are mine!). Remember that the main commerce between the islands was with the west shore of the Susquehanna River (York County), so church records, births, deaths may have been recorded in York County instead of in Dauphin County, where the islands are politically located. This created a problem for me initially. I STILL haven't dug up my wife's mother who lived in Dauphin County, but her birth was recorded in York County! > Regards, with regrets to Netscape6 users (what a mess!)
