These are reposts of previously sent messages which due to my bad timing didn't make it to the list. 1. I went ahead and started scanning the old family photo album that I have mentioned in the past on this list. There are still about a dozen more photos to scan. You can find it at: http://members.home.net/amikael/ Just click on through to the photo page. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who could help in identifying the various individuals in the pictures or narrowing down dates. Not all of them were taken in Elk County, but I believe many of them were. See any familiar faces? 2. I am exploring some possibilities and wondered if anyone has more information about the BONNET family seen in the 1850 and 1860 Elk County census? At Jones Township in 1850 they are seen as: Francis Bonnet 49 GER Barbara 38 GER Barbara 16 GER Mary 13 GER Catherine 7 NY John 5 PA Tekla (F) 2 PA I am particularly interested in the daughter Catherine. After looking more carefully at some old family photographs (from the album mentioned above), I noticed that one particular photograph of my 3rd great grandfather, Scott MACDONALD, and was taken in 1865 by St. Mary's photographer W.R. Finch. Scott married a woman named Catherine who was born in NY between 1840 -1844 with both parents from Germany. Judging from some scrawl at the bottom of a photograph, I had thought her surname to be BONERT. She was Roman Catholic. They had a daughter named Maud who was born somewhere in PA abt. 1860. I have no other information on her family. While I am probably grasping at straws, seeing as I have had so little luck exploring this particular brick wall, it can't hurt to check. Could the Catherine BONNET = Catherine BONERT? I noticed that the brother John and mother Barbara were buried in Holy Cross Cemetary under the name BONNERT. Is there any connection? Is that a Catholic cemetary? Any help (to probably disprove my very shaky theory) would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Angela
