Dick... Once you get to the site, if there is no data available, try reloading the page several times. I had difficulty accessing the files at first and received a message relative to "too many anonymous users accessing file" or something like that.

Would someone who has an Ancestry.Com active membership do this one search & send me the first web page address of the results.There are 500 or so responses. No one wants to send me that much, but if I get the first page address, I can get the rest myself! This is for Mary BLACK in 1910 PA census. I would like the exact/full Ancestry.Com ist web page address of the results. Below is the input page for that question. Thanks--Dick http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/results_target.asp?query=mary+black&submit=Search&DatabaseID=5103&Title=Pennsylvania+1910+Census+Miracode+Index&DatabaseName=1910pamir&SearchEngine=sse.dll&Server=search&Type=P

Sandra, I am not sure what you found there, but I just went to the site and there was NOTHING there but unfulfilled promises & two broken links!

Can anybody help me with who is the funeral home that was in business back in 1932?? I have finally received my great grandmother's death certificate from PA. My great grandmother is Mary Alice Jackson. She died November 21, 1932 in Erie County, Harborcreek Township. She was living south of Moreheadville, PA. She is buried in Pine Grove Cemetery in Corry, PA. It is hard for me to decipher the writing on her death certificate, but it said the "undertaker" was G. B. Nelson and address is ??? Ross or Norss East, PA. I couldn't decipher the writing of penmanship. Who would be the funeral home? I would like to find out so I can write to the funeral home. But the doctor is John W. Surtse or something and his address is Weslyville. Hope this give you a clue on what it said.

We are looking for any Aylesworth in the North Western Part of Pa. for any time. Recently four different Aylsworth family researchers have come together on the net. We are not trying to piece together a migration of sorts. We have family from Florida to Calf. We are looking for several missing links. Please let us here from you if you have Aylsworth family ties.

Thanking you & keeping my fingers crossed, Beve

According to statistics that Mike gets, our Erie County (PA) Genealogy web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie/ had 100 visitors on Saturday and 134 visitors on Sunday. Even discounting the 15 to 20 times per day that I probably caused the counter to click, that is still a lot of people. I have several items in the works that I will be working on this week - things that have been sent in but need to be put in proper order and formatted - so by the end of the week we should have a lot more. I don't think I announced to the list the last changes that were made. A reading of Nichols Cemetery (Summit Twp) from Barb Seyler was added, as well as a Courthouse & Vital Records page. The county has done a good job on their own site, as well as the Chamber of Commerce, and as I am finding sites, and reviewing those links that have been sent in, if a page or pages can contribute to genealogical research, I am trying to create a link, rather than to duplicate the material in a different format, although we may have a special page of links, such as the one mentioned above. As the old saying goes, why reinvent the wheel. For those who don't have access to local Erie news, three of the topics in the news that are more historical than genealogical related are the 1. Report that the Gudgeonville covered bridge might have to become a footbridge with a new modern structure next to it, along with a possible rebuilding to 'historic' specs of the covered bridge that burned several years back 2. Articles about Ida M Tarbell of Allegheny College and Standard Oil, who I knew had relatives in Corry, but did not know that she was from Wattsburg (I went to Allegheny in the early 60s with a Tarbell who was related) and 3. That the reconstructed Brig Niagara might actually be the Lawrence or one of the two captured British warships. The present Captain says it really doesn't matter if it is the Lawrence and not the Niagara as they were both Erie ships instrumental in that war.

Dear List: I just joined and would like to know if there are others on the list who are researching the following Irish names: McNulty McGraw Hurley Ward Lavery All moved to Erie City or Erie County (Green Twp, Harborcreek) in the early to mid 1800s. Janet Meissner (native of Erie but now in NJ. Other Erie lines are Wickham, Yaple, Fuller)

Hi Listers, Federal Hill was the name given in old Erie to that hill, the top of which, we now know as 26th and Peach Sts. This area has some sentimental attachment to me as on it my parents, their parents and grandparents were born, lived, worshipped and lived out their days. In Gaylene Kerr Banister's transcription of Bates History of Erie, I find, in the section devoted to Millcreek township, the following: "The town hall is a good brick building on Federal Hill, within the city limits." Of the four corners of that intersection, if indeed, the town hall was on one of the four corners, at least two structures survive. The building on the NE corner is presently, I believe, part of a motel for transient workers and the SE corner has the building, part of which is now a karate studio and at one time had the Mary Carter paint store. The SW corner in the time when Bates wrote his history had the Fire House. Only the NW corner has a 20th century structure: the old Brown-Jones pharmacy. The Bates History points out that the town hall was used as the polling place for east township residents . The more likely location of the hall in that case would be the karate building, which, in the early 20th century was known as Kaltenborn(sp?) Hall . I'm wondering if any of you Listers has any info or insight on the history of that area. Joe

Hello list (again), I am pleased to announce that a long time contributor - Linda Emerson - has agreed to be the township coordinator for Union Township and the borough of Union City. Even though Linda is out in California, she has roots in Union City and can provide Mike and myself help in getting that township page populated with valuable genealogical information to help researchers in that area. Linda has been providing many of the links that were recently posted, and has supplied some scrapbook type stories which she extracted while copying obits from the Union City newspaper which will be posted shortly in the future. If there are any of you out there that would like to be listed as a township coordinator, there is really little work involved and you only need to have some knowledge of the township. There is no web work involved, only submitting some tidbits of information about the township once in a while, or some links to other sites that we could post to our site and/or the township pages. Let Mike or myself know and we would be glad to let you help us out. Bill Klauk Co-Coordinator, Erie County (PA) Genealogy, USGenWeb/PAGenWeb Project Millcreek Township, Erie County, PA

Hello Everyone, Could someone who has easy access to the 1850 census for Erie Co. look up James PECK on p. 74? I am particularly interested in knowing the name of his wife and whether he has a daughter named Mary Delia, age about 10. According to Mary Delia's death certificate, her parents are Mary and James PECK. Eli BANISTER, eldest son of our immigrant Joseph BANISTER, married Mary Delia 9 Mar 1857, probably at Bogus Corners, Venango Twp., Erie Co. Apparently Mary had been married previously to -?- INMAN because on the 1880 census for Ludington, Mason Co., Michigan, Frank INMAN, age 23, is listed as "son of wife." Would love to know the identity of Mary's first husband and what happened to him. Both Mary Delia and Eli died in Ludington and are buried there. She died 16 Apr 1911 and he died 1 Dec 1912. If anyone would like more info about Mary Delia and Eli, please let me know. Thank you. Gaylene Kerr Banister Houston, TX [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~banister/index.html
