A h-u-g-e THANK YOU to Dick and the Youth who did this labor of love in genealogy for all of us! Barb

Thanks to Dick Tefft and Youth Group of the Erie Temple of The Church of Latter Day Saints, we now have a compete reading of the Greenville Cemetery! Does anyone know what the other link that we have to the" Greenfield Cemetery" really is? Thanks!

Thank you all so much for the Civil War sites, and the offers to look it up on Ancestry. Unfortunately, Robert Thompson is a common name, and I'll have to have my mother read his gravestone to see if his regiment or enlisting date is on it. I am so blessed to have such a great group in Erie. God Bless you, Cindy Snyder- native of Erie- misplaced on the Gulf Coast, MS

You can access the form information and several sources of information from the Cameron County site under the Civil War section at the bottom of the page. I will have to put that link on the Erie site too.

In case the online stuff doesn't give you what you are looking for -- You can request a copy of his service records from General Reference Branch (NNRG-P), National Archives and Records Administration, 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20408. They will probably send you a form to fill out and submit. They require the following minimum information: Complete name (including middle, if you know it); state from which he served; war in which he served; whether Union or Confederate; and whether Army, Navy, or Marine Corps. Take a chance with Army and see if they can turn up something. The Bates histories have extensive lists of soldiers by regiment and company (History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, 1861-1865, Bates [Samuel?] 1870, several volumes. I'm sure all historical and genealogical libraries are familiar with these. Janet - Delaware

My early morning message should have read changes for Saturday, January 13th, instead of 12th. now for the changes for January 14th (Sunday) - January 14, 2001 Added 1860 and 1870 Mortality Tables for LeBoeuf Township, and also linked from the Census page. Made cosmetic changes to LeBoeuf Twp page and to the Census page and corrected a few bad links. Bill Klauk

Looking for information in relation those families in the Corry area.ggmother was Elizabeth Lannon who maried a Jamison. Her mother was a Newgent. Tim McDonald

Does anyone have a Henry Thompson in Erie County between 1800 and 1847? His wife's name is Eliza and they had 8 children. Thanks... Linda Emerson Coordinator - Union Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie/townships/Union.htm

Hi Listers , A look at the City Directory for 1901 reveals that,indeed, Millcreek township had its office at this corner. Unfortunately, it was located at the NW corner and is long gone. Oh well. Happy holiday! Joe

If Donna Clark is a reader of this list, would you please contact me. Although the 1800 Erie County census reading, which is part of the USGenWeb Census project, is linked from the Erie County (PA) Genealogy web site, which is also part of the USGenWeb project, this reading can seldom be reached as apparently it is accessed through ftp on a server which is either very busy or has slow connections. In any case, as both the Census transcription project and the genealogy page are part of the same program, I would like to directly post the census reading in HTML (http://) so that researchers may have the benefit of this data all the time.

Hi Folks, If you have not checked recently, there is tons of new data on the site, thanks to several contributors! Most of the new data is on the GenConnect sites. In the past 30 days, we have 69 new queries, 69 new obits for a total of 399, 544 new biographies for a total of 599! That must be some sort of record! PLUS, we have two new township hosts! I personally am excited to see such participation on the site. Bill and others are working to bring much more to the site in the near future. Check out the new Queries and see if you have some unknown cousins who have checked out the site! Thanks again!

Hi Everyone, This weekend 99 more biographies from the Bates 1884 History of Erie Co. have been uploaded to the GenConnect Biography Board <http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Pa/ErieBios>. Currently all of the biographies from this history for the cities of Erie and Corry plus the township of Amity have been uploaded. Concord Township bios coming soon.

Not much done to the site on Saturday as had PC down for about 8 hours running scan disks on my back-up hard drive to isolate "bad clusters". however, did get a few things done - January 12, 2001 Added Betty Matteson Rhodes as host for the Concord Township page. Revised the Concord Township page. Added introduction from Linda Emerson to the Union Township page and revised layout of that page. Also added several links to the Union Township page. Bill Klauk

Hello fellow listers.................. I have been trying to do my part to help fill in the Erie Co. databanks with some information. It's not much, but its what I have. I have posted 2 biographies, 1 Bible record and 1 obituary. Nothing at all like some of you others......:-) I also have some family pictures and some pictures from the Girard Cemetery, if I can just figure out how to copy them so they look good................ If there is something that I can help with like entering information, I'm willing to type. I'm in energy-challenged (!) Calif and too far away to help with lookups and such!! Sharon Dulcich Bakersfield, CA

Hello list, I am pleased to announce that Betty Matteson Rhodes has volunteered to also host Concord Township, in addition to Venango Township as previously announced. Betty has indicated that she lived 10 years in Corry after leaving Wattsburg and has quite a bit of information on Concord Twp. Betty will also 'keep me honest' with the new City of Corry page that I posted today. The two cities - Erie and Corry - have separate pages from the townships. Corry has several web sites, so I intend, with Betty's help, to make that page mostly a page of links, and for the time being am not listing a host, although we will see how that progresses. More later - taking a break to watch hockey tonight. Bill Klauk Co-Coordinator, Erie County (PA) Genealogy, USGenWeb/PAGenWeb Project Millcreek Township, Erie County, PA

The following changes have been made so far this week to the Erie County (PA) Genealogy web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie . January 11, 2001 Summit Township page and Venango Township page refreshed. Introduction added by Betty Matteson Rhodes to the Venango Township page, along with some related links. Added Vintage Wattsburg Photos from Betty with link to them from the Old Time Photos and Venango Township pages. Added 1870 Mortality Schedule for Summit Township, with links to it from Summit Township and the Census page. Made cosmetic changes and fixed a broken link from the Census page. Made cosmetic changes to Military page and added a link to general information about ordering military records. Added a link to NARA on the links page. January 7, 2001 New township coordinators posted for Union Township and Venango Township. New Courthouse & Vital Records page added. Title on home page changed from Recourses to Resources. Cemetery reading for Nichols Cemetery in Summit Township submitted by Barb Seyler was posted. More changes are in the works for this week, with work in progress on the 1860 and 1870 Mortality Schedules for LeBoeuf Twp, along with the 1890 Veterans Census for that twp. I also have several "people" pages in the works, and several of you probably wonder if I have forgotten, but I have not - they are coming.
