It missed my kin and I know she is buried there because I visited and actually found her grave. I have an old photo of the grave and by following the background and foreground in the photo I found it right away. Mary E. Balsley married to David Balsley and it is not on the list. I also know that my Goodwins (Robert and Margaret) are there because it says in the obit they are there. Can anyone tell me 1) why they were missed 2) are they in the book someone mentioned a few posts ago. Thank you.

Barb: The hardest thing for me to learn in genealogy is to "FORGET HOW TO SPELL". We have had our "Teachers drilling it into our brains that the "PROPER SPELLING OF A PARTICULAR WORD IS: _ _ _ _ _.. When you're searching the census records: you'll want to do your search on the first name, or the date of birth, or the place of birth and then try as many different spelling variations of the last name as you can possibly image, sometimes you will need to flip through every page in a particular county or "STATE" (which is what I had to do to isolate the possibilities for a particular person, My "James Kendall" died in Fayette County, Pa. and absolutely everything said he was born in "Virginia" but nothing stated which county, Thank God there were only 2 born during the timeframe of his birth, Heaven forbid his name would have been "John Smith". Plus, don't believe the death certificates....My g-grandmothers parents listed on her certificate had her "Brother" listed as her father, and her "SISTER-In-LAW" listed as her mother. Then you have "NickNames". My great grandmother (Elizabeth/Bettie) had a nick name of Patsy Ann....In the books it list that particular nickname for the name "Martha"....What I tell people is: These gg-grandparents of mine didn't know how to read and write in the early 1800's, so how would they know the nickname was being used improperly. You would think the Name "Kendall" would be easy to research, here are all the different spellings for that name in the census records: Census Year 1810: Kend"e"ll 1820: Kendal 1830: Kendal 1840: K"i"ndle 1850: Ken"nett" 1860: Kendall 1870: Kindle 1880: K"innell" ....This was the hardest one to find...took me 5 years LOL 1900: "R"endall 1910: Kendall 1920: Kend"e"ll So remember: many people in the 1800's could not read and write. -----Original Message----- From: Barbee [mailto:barbee44@adelphia.net] Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 3:24 AM To: PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAFAY] RE: Robert Goodwin/Goodman family in 1900 Census.

Is anyone researching the Breninger family in 1816? Evidently a Michael Breninger purchased land from my family in October of 1816, located just north of Jacobs Creek at today's Chainbridge in Westmoreland Co. If so, please contact me at _thecomyn@aol.com_ (mailto:thecomyn@aol.com) , Pat Cummins

Dear Fayette Friends, I have been searching for over 14 years for my great grandmother's burial place. Now, suddenly, because of the wonderful friends on Fayette Rootsweb, she has been found (almost). A special thank you to Angela, Eileen, and Dawne! They have responded with her obituary so now I can send for a death certificate. It seems so strange to have faint memories of someone when you were young and then have no one to ask about them. My sincerest appreciation! Rosalie
