Hello there Fellow Rooters, Was hoping someone may have the name DICKISON in their line. I have 2 Newspaper articals (brothers) naming a sister married to a GEORGE DICKISON from MILL CREEK, Huntingdon Co. the dates on the articals are 1915 and 1916. If anyone finds the name it would be most appreciated. Thanks in Advance Kim Williams Portland, Oregon

The various Bricker families in the U.S. and Canada today descend from immigrants of different faiths who arrived here from Switzerland, Germany, France, Britain, and Eastern Europe. Some of us know who those immigrants were by having either inherited or created our own family trees on paper, sometimes stretching our family origins back as far as to the 1500s. Others among us are aware of our Bricker roots only going back as far as parents or grandparents. By taking advantage of recently-affordable technology, however, together we can now help clarify our roots by having scientists read the genetic record that half of us carry within us, in our Y-chromosome DNA. Just like the Bricker last name, an exact or nearly exact copy of a man's "Y" chromosome is passed on, generation after generation from father to son. In that way, a male Bricker living today may have a "genetic signature" unchanged or very little changed from that which his direct Bricker ancestors had hundreds of years ago. And there's a very high likelihood that men who today share both the same last name and the same or similar genetic signature also share the same ancestor from some point in the past. By submitting a small sample of his Y-chromosome (no needles or blood sample necessary!) for analysis to a lab specializing in "genetic genealogy", men over 18 years old who were born with the Bricker surname can participate in this Project, to track Bricker family lines by finding out which among us share common ancestors and genealogies. While only Bricker men may directly contribute a sample of their Y-chromosome for use in this project, your help is also very much needed if you are married to such a Bricker, or have a living brother, father, son, or paternal grandfather, uncle, or male first cousin who is a Bricker by birth. Please pass on this email message to him, and encourage his participation if the Project goals interest you. In fact, you may want to forward this email to any of your Bricker relatives who you think might be interested, and encourage them to visit our webpage as well. The more that participate, more use this project will be to everyone participating! For further information on the Project, please visit the webpage at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bricker/index.htm If you are at all interested in pinning down with more certainty who your Bricker ancestors were, and even possibly extending your family line as far back as your European roots, your participation in this BRICKER Surname DNA Project can potentially help you with these goals. Sincerely, Dale Bricker Interim Project Coordinator BrickerDNA@yahoo.com

Hello and Happy Holiday to all, I am looking for information on Henry C. Lantz (born 31 August 1797 in Germany) and Catharine Margaret Lantz (born 31 December 1800 in Germany). About 1830 they emigrated to the United States with their three children-Conrad, John C. and Mary E. Conrad married Susan Hoefler who was born in Baden, Germany 16 November 1843. John C. married Ann Margaret Reigh who was born 10 October 1835. Mary E. married Henry Kemberling who was born in Germany in 1826. Any information would be appreciated. Glenda

Can anyone tell me if Huntingdon newspapers for March 1920 and July (?) 1913 are on Microfilm? and where might I find them? Are they in the Huntingdon library and is anyone available for look ups? Barbara Moll

HELEN: Someone sent to me images of several pages of the 1800 federal census, Springfield Township (then) Huntingdon Co. PA. Hugh Logan shows pg 139 males 0 - 2 - 1 - 0 - 1 , females 0 - 1 - 3 - 1 - 1 The next adjacent household to Hugh is : Peter Fagan 1 - 0 - 0 - 1 - 0, 1 - 0 - 1 - 0 - 0 Nearby is a Roger Logan 1 - 1 - 0 - 1 - 0, 1 - 1- 0 - 1 - 0 Good luck, Morris LeFever

In the Huntingdon County Will Abstracts 1787-1847, published by the Blair Co. Genealogical Society, it states in Will Book II, the following: LOGAN, HUGH, late of Springfield Twp. Will Dated 5/13/1808, probate 6/13/1808. Names wife, Jean, children: John, Simon, Felix, Ann, Elizabeth, Esther, Hugh, Mary Fegan, Susanna, Margaret, Bridgett, Nany and Grandsons HUGH MCMULLIN, Hugh Cook, daughter in law Mary Logan. Executors were his wife Jean and sons John and Simon. Could perhaps the mother of your Hugh have been a Logan?? Helen Howard

For which individual are you trying to determine the paternity? Eleanor McMullen Blumenschein

His sons were Daniel (1800), Samuel (abt 1803), William (abt 1808), John (abt 1810) and James (1816). He also had at least one daughter named Abby (as per her marriage certificate) but whom the family called Ella. We've drawn a blank on trying to figure out which McMullen in Huntingdon Co. was his ancestor. If anyone has any ideas of how I could verefy his paternity, I'd welcome the advice.
