Hi Lynn . . . More good suggestions. Have you ever thought of teaching a class on "Hidden sources"? You must have come down this road before. Regarding the name of Lynn. I was always told that "Lynn" was an Irish name and it meant "babbling brook". Boy, was I named appropriately. :-) I definitely have the "Gift of Gab" . . .

Hi Lynn - I take it you have looked in Philly cemeteries, then, too? If he died in Philly, even if she moved, she would not necessarily have been buried in Newtown Square. Also - if she moved in with a child, and that child married out of the faith....then she might even be buried in someplace you might not even think to look! Happy Hunting! LOL I love it - "Look into (literally) the other cemeteries" :D Lynn (a good Welsh name ;) >> Thank you for your suggestions and insight.

Some counties have partial access to old deeds online by now, but Delaware Co offers online access to deed transfers filed since about 1982. The best way is to go to the office, look at the index, and ask to see the deeds you think might be yours; generally they're on microfilm; you can get a photocopy of appropriate deeds. You can also arrange to get copies by phone and mail. Here is the website of the Delaware Co PA Recorder of Deeds with a phone number: http://www.co.delaware.pa.us/depts/recorder.html

Hi List, I found this ariticle while believe it or not searching for the ship my grandfather served on. Although, I was not success on that I did find this and found it interesting enough to pass it along to the list just incase someone from our area might be interested in it! #5939 Stewart, Wendall: LOWER MERION CLASS OF 1927 Lower Merion Seniors, 1927 Ardmore, PA. 1st Edition 1st Printing, Illus. by Bw Photo by Author Softcover Small 4to - 9" to 11" Some fading, overall clean and tight photo and text. 123 pgs Yearbook, Lower Merion Senior High School.

G/ NONE $11.97 If anyone could direct me where I can find the battleship my grandfather served on through Co. 540, Sampton NY, The oral history is that my grandfather served under Henry Fonda in Guam and my grandfather was injuried during one of their attacks. I just can't seem to find the name of the ship on his records anywhere or online? Thanks in advance Esther

It doesn't sound strange at all! LOL I wouldn't just look in Newtown Square for cemeteries - also try the Media Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery in Media, Old Union in Rose Tree, and the Middletown Friends/Newtown Square Friends/Sandy Bank and Providence MM burial grounds. Rootsweb has a list of cemeteries, you can also look in Findagrave and print out the lists for Delaware County. When were they born? And do you know Tacy's last name or parents? Sometimes finding the burial place of a parent is a good indicator of where the children are buried as well. A lot of the cemeteries or churches/meetings associated with them *don't* have burial records - Swarthmore doesn't have burial records for many of the non-quaker cemeteries. I would also check out the Delaware County Historical Society if you have time, they do have a book and I think it's fairly complete (with the older records, anyway). Their hours are very limited, though. Also if the people were born before 1792, they might be under Chester County records as well (and the Chester County Historical Society has a lot of cemetery records, too). Happy Hunting! Lynn >>This will be my last chance to find my missing couple "Isaiah and Tacy WORRELL" as my son will graduate from Temple next May. I hope that I will be able to find them quickly as most of my research will be at Swarthmore. I am looking forward to taking in some of the Historical sights this time. I do have one question though . . . how many cemeteries are there in Newtown Square? What facility will have burial records? Thank you in advance for your help . . .

I have a document titled "This Indenture". In it, it describes a tract of land as follows: "Situate in the Township of Concord aforesaid on the Road leading from Pleasant Hill Tavern to Smiths Mill. Bounded by lands of William Johnson, by lands of Samuel Russell and by lands of Messrs Potts and Kelt; Containing ten acres of land more or less with the appurtenances, and being so thereof seized as aforesaid died intestate." This document is dated 22 November 1869 and relates to the death of Michael Higgins who was an Irish immigrant, having immigrated around 1855. I am interested in finding a Deed record showing when and from whom he acquired this land. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about this. Thanks for any help. Kay Higgins Anstaett

I know this sounds strange . . . but I'm really excited. By the evening of the 24th I will be back in Philadelphia, after doing my "west coast, east coast" flight. This will be my last chance to find my missing couple "Isaiah and Tacy WORRELL" as my son will graduate from Temple next May. I hope that I will be able to find them quickly as most of my research will be at Swarthmore. I am looking forward to taking in some of the Historical sights this time.

Thanks Kathy, That makes sense and is good to know so I don't drive myself nuts! Esther that will be extra nice when they do, as I have for others, I'm hoping to find the picture of the ship he served on, although I'm not certain of even its name, but that's what I thought finding him through the system would answer ! ;-) I guess its sitting with crossed fingers until then! -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Kathysean@aol.com > Esther, > > They don't have the Navy records on line yet.

Hi List, I have a question about the Ancestry's Military Records. I'm having trouble finding my grandfathers records from this area. I have his certificates and all, but I was hoping to locate them in the Ancestry's records. Problem is, He was already serving during the period 1929 to 1936 and again in 1944 to 1945. So where do I look for his records in the search sections. Would he still be listed under the WWll draft registrations? I can't seem to find the appropriate sections in order to find him. His first enlistment was with the National Guards to which his rating no#'s does not coincide with that which I found so far. His second enlistment was in the Navy to which again it looks like the only search option falls within the Officers. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks in Advance Esther > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > PADELAWA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in > the subject and the body of the message

Hi lists, More questions: Does anyone know if the Brandywine Historical Guild still exists? Where is it? Where was it located? What did they do? Did they have anything to do with the reproduction of Civil War furniture? A man, last name of PEARSON, has contacted the Concord Historical Society -- he has a reproduction of the table GRANT used when General LEE surrendered. On the bottom of the table is stamped -- Brandywine Historical Guild & Concordville, PA. PEARSON would like to know some info about the table. Who made it & was he a carpenter in Concordville? Did the Brandywine Historical Guild sell Civil War furniture? What connection do they have to the table? Interesting!! Thank you very much for any help & suggestions you can give us to help solve this mystery. :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
