Hello everyone, If someone would like to have items such as obits or marriages, etc, etc posted out there so everyone can access them I would be happy to put them on either or both the Indiana County Gen Web and the Indiana County Archives sites but in order for me to do so you have to e-mail and tell me you want them on the sites, without permission from the person submitting I am unable to post them to either of these sites. If you have a lot of information that you would like to share and wouldn't mind having it on either of the Indiana County sites, you can send it to me to be put up and I will go across the e-mail group and let them know that the new stuff is out there, I would even be willing to post what surnames have been added to. You can reach me at the web sites and e-mail addresses below.

The entire idea of this genealogy online is to help each other. At one time there was a connection to add obits to the Indiana County page. Somehow that has deminished. Vernon C. Cook USN(Ret) Visit my Genealogy Site. 64,000 bodies included 8,828 surnames http://www.gencircles.com/users/vccook/9

The reason for the sudden increase in emails from the mailing lists is that a server was down since Nov. 5 so the mail was piling up. As far as the obit listings, if you notice the "This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list" at the top, this means it was posted on the Rootsweb message board. It's my understanding that the list administrator decides whether or not to gateway messages from the Rootsweb message board or not to. And if you want to reply to the query that was gatewayed, you need to post it on Rootsweb message board, since the person posting may not subscribe to the mailing list. When I don't want all the emails from a mailing list, instead of subscribing I will just periodically search through the archives of that list.

Thank you to the person who took the time to send and share all the obits. That was a most generous thing to do. Thanks, Nancy Mayfield

Yes, thanks for all the obituaries. I know it was a lot of hard work for you to share them with all of us.

A quick search on Ancestry.com turned up no Thomas Burns as head of household in Westmoreland Co. in the 1790 census. There was, however, a listing in Bedford Co.: Bedford Co. (no township given): Thomas Burns 1 Free White Male 16 or over 0 " " Males under 16 3 " " Females Is this the Thomas Burns who served as a captain in the Revolutionary War and is buried in Bethel Cemetery in Center Township? If so, I do have a rather tenuous connection.

Thank you very much for posting these obituaries. I have many hits, and have learned some people dates of birth and death. A similiar thing occurred on another list I belong to, everyone (except a few) really appreciated the hard work that was put into these postings. -Gary T. Gibson

You may not be interested but others are. But it would be better to put these up on a web site where they will remain available for future research.

William Lyons: You should be on this list serching one surname and not wanting what goes with it. A LOT of the obits I saw I needed. Do you know how to delete items you don't want? Bobby robert.e.troup@verizon.net My Website: http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/mapleave

For myself, I am thrilled to wade through all these obituaries. You never know when a name will come up that you've been looking for information about. Thanks for the obits.

I'm not the one who sent the obits, nor did I find any among them for the families I'm researching. However, I do think it was generous of the sender to share this information, since many others on the list undoubtedly will find something useful to them. The sender was quite considerate in putting the surnames in each obit in the subject line so that no "wading" was really necessary. All one needs to do is scan the subject line and delete.
