I am scanning the obituaries, funeral folders, wedding announcements and documents or pictures into jpegs. The following are available: Obits Melvin Adamson, Jr (1943 – 2009) Ronald E Baumler (1952 – 2009) Cecilia D Burkett (2009 – 2009) Erin A Burkett (1980 – 2009) Sylvanus V Brown (1927 – 2009) Thomas C Carrick (1917 – 2009) Donald “Ducky” Colgan Sr (1933 – 2009) Jody Ferrier (1974 – 2009) Sara Foltz (1933 – 2009) Ryan Henry (1985 – 2009) Obit and Funeral Folder Eleanor Dobson (1933 – 2009) Luther V Elkin (1922 – 2009) Lowry Alvin Fairman (1925 – 2009) Betty Lou Geesey (1939 – 2009) Naomi Graham (1918 – 2009) Anniversary Announcement Walter and Alice Heberling (60th) I will be happy to share with anyone collecting. In exchange, I would value anything else you can tell me about the individual for my files. Some are relatives and some have just found their way into my database because they are connected in some way. Send an email to: sonya_stewart@yahoo.com if you would like a copy. I hope to connect with some new cousins, someone who may share cousins or just do one of those random acts of genealogical kindness and help knock down a brick wall for someone else. Sonya

Results from a quick search of The Historical Newspaper Collection a ancestry.com would lead one to conclude that Irish Bottom Cemetery is the same as Cameron's Bottom Cemetery/Saint Patrick Church Cemetery in Pine Township. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr richard crawford" <papngramc@yahoo.com> To: <paindian@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 2:30 PM Subject: [PA INDIANA] cemetery hi people, does any one out there know of the location of a cemetery in indiana co.called irish bottom cem.? possibly in pine twp? i need help on this one thanks dick crawford ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PAINDIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

My gr-grandparents are buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Cameron's Bottom, Pine Twp. Indiana Co.  There were many Irish buried there in the late 1800s.  Do you think this might be the Irish Bottom cemetery you have heard of?  The cemetery list is on the Treasures of the Past website.  I have visited the cemetery and have the list of the people buried there.  The church is inactive and the records are at the Church of the Ressurection in Clymer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_%28name%29 See above but it is a English diminutive for John -------Original Message------- From: Barb Lorensen Date: 2/2/2010 7:49:28 AM To: Cambria County; Clearfield County; Indiana County; Somerset County; Westmoreland County Subject: [PA INDIANA] Name question This has bothered me for a while Does anyone know why when a person's name is John a lot of the time people call him "JACK"?

Got my answer for John called "Jack" once again everyone was a great help.. A big thank you to all Barb

it's the same as- why are women named Margaret called Peggy, or an Elizabeth called Betty, Mary's called Minnie, Rebecca's called Becky, and so on----

John comes from Johannes or Johan.  In German it was altered to diminutive Johankin or Johnkin, Jankin.  Like "Johnnykins" as a pet name. Jankin became Jackin, Hackin/Haukyn (Basque version is Joachim or Joachin), thus leading to Jack.

My Indiana Co ancestors, primarily WILSON and HILL families, but also LONGENECKER and RHOADES, were likely affiliated with the Brush Valley Lutheran Church and/or the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Churches. It is my understanding that the records and Bible from the later were transferred to Brush Valley and that documents related to both were then sent to the Lutheran seminary in Gettysburg, when Brush Valley closed. Haven't had any luck tracking this down. My gggrandparents Samuel Wilson (1825-1904) and Barbara Hill (1827-1868) are buried at the old Strongstown cemetery on Rt. 422, very near the former site of St. Paul's (Other Hill and Rhoades graves are also there.) Am still looking for their marriage record and info about Samuel's Wilson family. I would be most appreciative of any info regarding the above. Many thanks from Barbara Wilson Rich. -----Original Message----- From: paindian-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:paindian-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Craig Cameron Sent: Sunday, January 31, 2010 12:01 PM To: PAINDIAN@rootsweb.com Subject: [PA INDIANA] Strongstown Lutheran Church, Pine Township Would like to know the location of this church and whether it is still standing.  The official name was St Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church.   Craig J Cameron ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PAINDIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
