He married Elizabeth Shultz about 1834-1835. I have information on the descendents of William and Elizabeth and information about the Elizabeth Shultz family, but am trying to learn where William is buried and the names of his parents. Any suggestions on how to search for/request an obituary for William (i.e., what newspapers to review in Huntingdon in 1891) or a marriage record? I appreciate any help.

Regarding death records, the state didn't start keeping death records until 1906. Huntingdon county court house would have death records from 1894-1905. (See http://www.rootsweb.com/~pahuntin/courthouse.htm ) However, since you know the exact date of death, Sue, you could order your obit from : - Huntingdon County Historical Society, if his name is in the obit index. http://www.huntingdonhistory.org/ or - Blair County Genealogical Society, since you have an exact date of death. http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabcgs/ (click on Newspaper Holdings to see what they have for Huntingdon, and on Obituary Order Form to order a photocopy of the obit) Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: "deMattos, Nancy" <ndemattos@fslf.org> To: <pahuntin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2008 8:31 PM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] Johnson/Johnston of Huntingdon, PA Since you have the date of death, you might try the New Castle, PA government offices.
