I can somewhat understand the reasoning behind this bill, given the identity theft going on. It would be very good if an amendment could be attached, stating that when given proof of relationship to the person being inquired about, one could still access the information. I have a vested interest, as I have grandparents and an uncle buried in PA and do not have all the information I need to pass on to my ancestors, namely a great-grandson.

Pennsylvania Open Records Law By Justin K. Houser Bellefonte, Pennsylvania Pennsylvania is considering an Open Records Law, currently known as House Bill 343.

Arizona has released its death records via a public website, as has Utah and West Virginia, which I believe is also contemplating a similar procedure for marriage records. Georgia is releasing all of its death records to online public access, beginning with 1919.

for what it's worth (and I don't know that) here's something from the Biographical Cyclopedia of the Juniata Valley: HIRAM BR0WN, Meadow Gap, Huntingdon county, Pa., was born June 8, 1830, in Springfield township, Huntingdon county, son of John and Annie (Wagner) Brown. Joshua Brown, his grandfather, was a native of Maryland. He removed to Huntingdon county, and bought a farm near Maddensville. Joshua Brown was married to Charlotte Morris, and during the Indian depredations they took refuge at Fort Littleton, Fulton county, Pa. It was a time of continual fear; the men even had to stand guard when the women went out to milk the cows. Mr Brown and his wife were members of the old school Baptist church. They died on the farm, and are buried in the cemetery attached to the Baptist church in Springfield township. A brother of Joshua Brown's resided in North Carolina. [End of excerpt] I don't know of any complete list of Joshua Brown's siblings, or of any Baltimore County research into the family. On the other hand, Ebenezer has the ring of a "Christian" name that a family associated with "Old School Baptists" might well have taken to; note the Old Testament names Joshua and Hiram here. You will look long and hard before you find an Episcopalian, Presbyterian, or Catholic baby being christened Hiram or Ebenezer, in that era. ----- Original Message ---- From: ross kate <jkross4@yahoo.com> To: pahuntin@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, November 7, 2007 11:44:43 AM Subject: [PAHUNTIN] Ebenezer Brown -1790 - 1797 - Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania Hello I am researching an Ebenezer Brown who according to a Butler Co. history is said to have come from Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania to Butler Co. about 1797.

I have to echo Judy on this. I just returned from a family/genealogical reunion I put together for my Clark cousins in Huntingdon County. We spent one afternoon at the historical society and had a great experience there. They were very helpful, and I found some wonderful information that allowed my cousins and I to walk through the original home of our fith great grandfather, Neal Clark that Saturday!!! For any of you looking to travel to Huntingdon County, I highly recommend it. It was gorgeous and I was heartbroken to have to leave.

Judy, You do great work and I am sure than everyone recognizes it. Thank you. Since you noted your Blair information, thought I would share an interesting story for you. My great grandmother was Ellen Jane Blair who Married Joseph Rittner Henderson of Cornpropst Mills in Barree Twp, Huntington Co..... The interesting story is that I have known that the Hendersons were Scots Irish since I was 5 years old. JRH's father was Joseph Barton Henderson (whose wife Nancy Crownover). I have been trying to follow the Scots-Irish trail to Ulster from JBH back to NJ and thus to the old country. I have finally decided that he wasn't Scots-Irish, and that the whole down trace knows next to nothing about JBH, but take their heritage from EJB. Oh, years ago I passed my info to the BlairLin folks, but do not know if they added it to the database. Russ Henderson ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
Just want to say that, contrary to appearances in my email about tax records, I am not being critical of the Huntingdon County Historical Society. And if I offended the society or anybody who volunteers for them, please accept my public apology, here given. It's difficult for historical and genealogical societies to generate the income needed to keep the doors open, whether by publishing material or by offering research done by volunteers, and I know HCHS does an excellent job of providing services. Certainly, compared to the cost of traveling to PA and doing the research oneself, it's a practically miraculous bargain, as is the research service offered by the Blair County Genealogical Society. Take it from me, because each trip I make to PA costs roughly $800-$1,000, and I've been doing it for years, gathering material for Blair Archives. Whatever we can do to support the historical and genealogical societies in the counties where we do research is worthwhile, whether it's by volunteering, having research done, buying publications, or by making donations.

There's a great lack of volunteers who would be able to devote the time and energy to accomplish large projects on behalf of the Huntingdon society, which, in addition, has always had history (of places, industries, significant happenings) as its primary focus, unlike BCGS, which is a genealogical society. Despite that, HCHS has been able to inventory the county cemeteries, acquire more tax assessment lists that the county did not wish to store in an accessible place, and make indices to some very useful books that were lacking them. Remember that the outmigration from Huntingdon County began in the 1790s (to western Pa. and Ohio) and continues to this date. The population is only stabilized by the numbers of persons with summer homes here who decide to move in full time when they retire. There are many, many more descendants of early residents living outside of the county than within it. One thing is for sure, anyone who wants to retire to this area, who's a good researcher, would be welcomed with open arms at HCHS. Consider it, everyone, when reaching retirement age. If you like fishing and hiking there's no better place to be in Penna. ----- Original Message ---- From: Judy Banja <jbanja@comcast.net> To: pahuntin@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, November 7, 2007 8:14:27 AM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Early Tax Records Hi Edna, BCGS is doing us all a favor with the Huntingdon publications. HCHS doesn't seem to want to print anything. Guess they prefer having folks pay for research time, but that sure does get expensive for those of us who live far away. The FHC nearest me, which was closed for a while due to complete lack of volunteers to run the place, has reopened, and I guess I'll go up there and order some things I've been wanting to look at. I thought I'd get up to PA this fall, but as usual, my husband's work schedule interferes - he travels a lot, giving talks on medical ethics. I can't seem to find a week when he'll be home the whole week, darn it. Thanks for your kind words. I'm having fun getting material online.

I've finally made a little headway on my William Hammond. My friend made a trip from Nevada to Altoona and went to BCGS Library and was able to get a newspaper notice of his death in the Hollidaysburg paper in November 1871!! I shall order the film from our FHL. Our genealogical society members are trying to help with a big indexing project that the LDS folks are doing. Thanks for all you have done for all of us far away from but interested in Blair County. I liked your explanation of your homesick feelings for the cool mountain air when it is hot and humid in Georgia. We have the lowest humidity in the country but in the summer when it is 115+ with 8% or less humidity, it is a "dry heat" as we console ourselves but it is still HOT. Many thanks, Judy.
