Hello PA Erie researchers and other list members, I am finally starting to get the swing of how to get pages edited with my new PC and operating system, although I think I am going to set up my old PC just to do web pages. Here are the updates to http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie that have occurred since December 1, 2002, which I probably have not previously reported. February 11, 2003 Updated this page with all changes (that I can remember) since mid December 2002. February 10, 2003 Added a new feature page to Erie County Land Records. This page is a newspaper ad from the January 17, 1850, Erie Gazette, for land for sale that had been a part of the Moravian Land Grant. The article has been transcribed and submitted by Evelyn Baker, and is also linked on the Springfield Township page. February 6, 2003 Note that ESGR has updated the City of Erie Vital Records Research page and submission form. The link from the Courthouse and Vital Records page has not changed. February 4, 2003 Beth Simmons has provided a complete revision to her Lowry Clan submission. The Family Tree portion, titled Descendants of George and Margaret Lowry, was put into a separate web page. Both sections of the Lowry Clan story were uploaded. The Family History Index page, and the Harbor Creek Township page, were both updated to reflect the changes. Updated the Guest Book to start a new book for 2003. Several January entries had been posted and these were entered into the new current Guest Book. Archived all 2002 entries into a 2002 Guest Book, and entered the link to this 2002 book on the current 2003 Guest Book. February 2, 2003 Changed the Homepage to reflect the new year and updated the Welcome Letter. Due to the new PC and limited time, there is no formal theme for February. Updated the Copyright Statement to reflect 2003. January, 2003 Due to a personal computer upgrade and change of operating systems to Windows XP, there were no additions of changes to the Website during January. December 24, 2002 Added a new feature Family History page for the Lowry Clan, as written and submitted by Beth Simmons. Although the Lowry family settled in both North East and Harbor Creek Townships, the page has only been linked from the Family History Index page and from the in Harbor Creek Township page. Beth also provided an image of an old time Christmas Card which has been posted to the Harbor Creek Township page. Another submission from Beth Simmons was also linked to both Harbor Creek Township, and to the Family Histories Index page. This feature page is an index of all Harbor Creek names found in the four most popular Histories of Erie County. December 17, 2002 Added a new feature cemetery page for the Drury Family Cemetery in Girard township as contributed by Dick Tefft. This page is linked to the Girard Township page and to the Cemetery Index page. Updated the Girard Township page to list all cemeteries from the Cemetery Index page. December 13, 2002 Updated the Pico Search Engine Index for the site. There are now 528 pages included in the search. December 12, 2002 Updated the County Courthouse and Vital Records page to include a link to the ESGR page which announces that Erie City vital records from about 1875 to about 1908 may be researched by ESGR. Updated Amity Township page to include a new email address for Bimmy Urso, the township coordinator. Updated Springfield Township page to include a newly scanned photo of the East Springfield Christian Church. December 9, 2002 Updated Dee's Trivia page and the Misc Everything Goes Here page with an additional submission from Dee Davidson concerning the sinking of the steamboat 'Erie' in the mid 1800s. Posted a new Land Records page titled 1819 Tax Assessment submitted many months ago by Evelyn Baker, but just now being posted. December 1, 2002 Updated Homepage Welcome letter to reflect carry over of the Church theme with most time being spent in catch up.
