Is there anyone on the list who has any connections at the Union City Historical Society? I ordered a book on the Evergreen Cemetery about a month ago but have not had any response from the group. Whenever I've called the number, I only get a fax machine rather than a live person. Any ideas on how to handle this? Thanks...

Just to let everyone on the list know, between Linda Emerson, Barb Seyler, and myself, corrected copies of the Union Township and Union Borough 1870 Mortality Tables have been posted. 83 year old Amanda Brown, who died of pregnancy complications, became 33 year old Amanda Brower - Linda and Barb tell me that the old handwriting is terrible, so I can understand all the problems in transcribing any of this census information. Other than a few minor housekeeping matters, have not any big changes to the site since the last announced update (spending time on my personal family history) but stay tuned for more.

You're doing such a great job with all of this, Bill. I know we all appreciate the work you're doing and your expedient response time!

I put up a page on our site for the City of Corry, but so much other work has been done on Corry, as indicated, I mostly want to have links here. If someone on this list is in the mood to surf around and find all the 'good' links to the City of Corry, and to summarize them back to me (or back to the list so others can see it has been done), along with a little one line description about each site, then it will facilitate getting the links up faster. Thank you. Bill Klauk Co-Coordinator, Erie County (PA) Genealogy, USGenWeb/PAGenWeb Project Millcreek Township, Erie County, PA

Christy, The GenConnect boards really do not lend themselves to Early Marraiges. I think the best thing to do is as you type them up in your favorite word processor, send them as an email attachment to me and I can build a web page for them. Or, just do them as e-mail messages to me. If you want, e-mail me directly to discuss what you feel is best for you. I can accept material in a number of different formats - about the only thing I have not been able to handle is AOL format.

Will be trying to put up what I have here in paper work as Dr. has told me the less paper work and stuff that collects dust for now the better. as I will be getting ready to have a lung transplant soon, and I want to try and be sure I get all the material I have out to the public . Thank you ChristyHodges [email protected]

The following changes were made to http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie for Tuesday, January 23, 2001 (actually up till 5 PM on Wednesday). January 23, 2001 Added 1850 and 1860 partial census transcription for Washington Township. This data is reposted with permission of Linda Dill, who transcribed the data as a part of a personal family history search. Updated Fairview Township page and added introduction from the new coordinator, Rich Biondi.

A member of the Wisconsin list has created a spreadsheet which he uses to record census data accumulated on paper over the years. He sent me a copy of the text file as well as the spreadsheet and I am extremely impressed with it. The spreadsheet has a separate page for each census year from 1790-1920, as well as Soundex pages for 1880-1920... great for tracking a single family through the years. In the 5 days since he offered it, he has mailed out over 600 copies (free) and has now created a website for downloading the file. I think you will be very impressed with the work he's done. The researcher's name is Gary Minder and the web site is: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~minder/ I am willing to send the files to anyone who requests them from me directly. -- Linda Emerson Coordinator - Union Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie/townships/Union.htm

Hello, Everyone is it Snowing, still??? Looking ffor info on Miller Farm, is this in Erie? Anyone ever heard of it. Looking for a R. H.MCGARVIE of Miller Farm, married a Mary D. "DEETA" WILSON of Pittsfield, Warren County 9 March 1874. I have a deed of her parents that said they were from Corry? ALSO about 1890ish....Ring any bells... Thank you for your time, as you know, its hard searching, when your out of state, so any and all help is appreciated If I can do anything for you, let me know Melinda in not so sunny VA

Following changes were made to http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie for Monday January 22, 2001: Added 1870 Mortality Schedule pages for Union Township and Union Borough from information contributed by Linda Emerson and linked those pages to Union Township and to the Census page. [Although entire county was previously posted, these small township listings can pinpoint where a person might have lived who died in the 12 months prior to a census.] Added 1835 Revolutionary War Pensioners Roll as researched and submitted by Barb Seyler. Linked to Military page. I noted a lot of names on this list who are not on the 1840 Census extract.

According to an 1893 city directory for Erie PA that I saw on Ancestry.com, there was an Amanda ANDERSON living at 562 W. 8th Street, Erie PA in 1893. The Amanda I am looking for is from Sweden, born 1872; her age was approximately 21 in 1893. Does anyone know of a way I could get more info about her?? Thanks very much. Glen Johnson

I would think all that info & documents would be in the Nat Archives in DC in WWII service files. Go see federal web site for that to see how to order copies.

Following changes were made to the Erie County (PA) Genealogy web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie for January 20-21, 2001. Added a new Zing album to Current Photos and linked from Cemetery page for Phillipsville Union Cemetery with pictures contributed by Bettie Noel. Complete update to Census page done, listing all Federal Census 1790-1920 along with NARA Microfilm roll numbers. Added a new page for a complete (about 600 names) county wide extract of the 1870 Mortality Schedule from the 1870 census, and linked this page on the Census page. A special thanks goes to Barb Seyler for this contribution. Added Rich Biondi as new township coordinator for Fairview Township. Had several more 'goldmine' pieces of data submitted, but will have to work on them next week, Bill Klauk Co-Coordinator, Erie County (PA) Genealogy, USGenWeb/PAGenWeb Project Millcreek Township, Erie County, PA

Hi all, Thanks for all of the suggestions you have given me. I know that Uncle Evan worked before he went in the service before WW II. I have went to the Vital Statistics in Erie & they told me that I would have to send to France for a death certificate. I guess I will have to send to get a death certificate. Thanks again for all of the help! Cheryl Pillar

Hello List, I am pleased to announce that Rich Biondi has volunteered to be the township coordinator for my neighboring Fairview Township. Rich is an Erie County native, has roots on his mother's side of his family going back to 1830 in Fairview Township, and has resided in the township for 20 years. Rich has been involved with genealogy for a number of years, and Mike and I look forward to his contributions.

The social security application should have vital info on it. The application of one of my collateral ancestors (he applied in 1937 at the age of 69) shows his full name, street address, occupation, employer, date and place of birth, father's name, mother's maiden name, sex, color (white, Negro, other). Janet - Delaware

His death certificate should have the SS# on it.

Another cool item on their SS Application is their signature - sometimes this is the only chance you get to obtain their own signature. ~gina~ Visit my homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html <A HREF="http://burningskyenterprises.com/">Burningskyenterprises.com</A>
