Thanks to some wonderful people, Mary Miller at the historical society (and others there) and also to Dave Bobenrieth, they were able to discover that: George Geitner was b. 1814 in Wilfershofen, Bavaria Germany and died April 1, 1884 and buried in St Marys cemetery. !!!! HIs wife Elizabeth's death has not been found yet, but they will find it another day I am sure. I just wanted to say many many many Many THANKS to all of you who have done some searching for me. I know it is timeconsuming and I greatly appreciate all your help. Ginny

If he was buried in Force and was Catholic, he is no doubt buried in the St. Joseph's Cemetery in that village. There are, however, no Core's buried in this cemetery as per the Elk Co., Burial book. There are also no Core's listed in the obituary index for the Elk County Gazette, of Ridgway, PA. ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda <lini@cvzoom.net> To: <PAELK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 5:54 PM Subject: [PAELK] Jane and Andrew Core, Elk Co. > Hi Mary, > Information from the death certificate of my great grandfather, Andrew > Core states that he was buried Oct. 12, 1910 and place of Burial was > Force, Elk Co., the Undertaker was Bennett.

Hi Mary, Information from the death certificate of my great grandfather, Andrew Core states that he was buried Oct. 12, 1910 and place of Burial was Force, Elk Co., the Undertaker was Bennett. Do you know which cemetery he would have been buried in. He was Catholic if that helps. His wife, Jane and three of their children, Kate, Janie and Michael died in 1885, in Elk County but I am unable to find any information on them. Are there any Cores listed in the Cemeteries and Burial Plots of Elk Co? I would appreciate an info you might have.

Naturalization Papers I am looking for the Bavarian town of origin for Andrew Hau (1st) b. June 24, 1823 and his Wife Walburga Heigl b. Sept 24,1820. Andrew arrived in Elk County about when it was formed in 1843 and they probably married in Elk County between 1845 - 1850 at St Marys Catholic Church. I understand that papers of "Intent to Naturalize" at that time required exact place names of origin. How does one tie into this data and what are the requirements for access? Also where should I start looking? Andrew settled in Fox Township probably close by present Kersey. So how does the town of Centerville effect this issue? And would Mc Kean County be involved ? Sincerely, Tom

I checked my copy of Cemeteries and Burial Plots of Elk County, Pennsylvania and George and Elizabeth Geitner aren't listed. Which probably means that if they are buried in Elk County, they don't have a headstone.

Anyone have anything on John HAND that married Philomena (Bernadine) Schreiber? They were married September 1864 (her second marriage?) in the St. Marys Church. He was the son of Carl & Maria (Wegmer) Hand. Dave Bobenrieth

Does anyone have anything on a Bezek, Bizek that married Philomena (Bernadine) Schreiber? She was born 1844, but I don't know when they were married or where. THe name Bezek is in Elk County but I can't find anything very old, only recent stuff. Dave Bobenrieth

My gg grandmother was Sarah Elizabeth Hanes born 11/13/1851 or 1854 in Rathbun, PA - she is a definite brick wall. Today I searched some old messages in Cameron County site, however, and saw a glimmer of hope!! There was a reprinting of a story from 1913 Elk Co. newspaper (posted by Dee) as told by Joseph Hanes about an incident in 1857 about his father and his brother Jacob (story regarding elk) and I'm hoping that someone might know more about that Hanes family. Sarah Hanes married Joseph M. Friedl (oldest son of John Friedl and Kunigunda Wittman) in Emporium 2/25/1873 or 1874; they had 9 children, some born Rathbun as well. Supposedly Sarah was born a Cole, but was raised by the Hanes family. I had information from one census lookup showing a Sarah Cole age 19 in Shippen Township, which would be the right age, but don't know where Shippen Township was/is, and the lookup didn't give me anyone else in household. Her marriage cert lists her name as Hanes - I have heard sometimes they just raised another kid without official adoption, etc.(?). She was baptized in 1899 at approx. age 48 and don't know previous faith, which would help as far as other Hanes cemetery records I would guess. My other names (all St. Marys) are Wickett, Geitner, Bauer, Zitzler, Kennard (this name also Oil City, Bradford prior to St. Marys). Any comments/suggestions re: Hanes/Cole or others, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Theresa

To Bucheit searchers: While checking Clearfield Co., PA for my family names, I found these Bucheit names, so I thought I'd send them to the list, but you all might want to check Clearfield Co. GenWeb yourselves at: http://www.pa-roots.com/clearfield I noticed the names are spelled with 2 'hh's". On a list for Old Union Cemetery, located at Brady Township, on route 410 between Troutville and Luthersburg, I found this information: "the site of the first Reformed Church after the split from the Lutheran Church.Clearfield County Pennsylvania" Grave number 59: Buchheit Milton E. died Nov.14,1905 aged 21 yr 10 mo. 21 ds.

St. Boniface may not have a record of her burial, but I'd bet alot of money that she is buried in St. Boniface, unless for some reason they took her to St. Marys. There has to be a death certificate on file for her at New Castle-- but they won't work too hard to find it if the dates or the place of death aren't absolutely on the money. (I have lost quite a bit of $$ this way!) They do have ten year searches available for like $25.00. Also, did you check anywhere for an obituary? As far as I know, they weren't burying in the St. Michaels cemetery on Irishtown Road/Old Kersey Road in 1925. And the cemetery is safe from developers because the Historical Society owns it. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Dani and JP <amuckdjp@sympatico.ca> To: <PAELK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 11:36 PM Subject: [PAELK] Kersey Question > Dear Sherry, > I cannot respond directly to you because Penn.com is blocking my server, and I can not write to anyone at penn.com, until the problem is fixed.
