Hi Is anyone else having trouble getting into the Treasures of the Past site. I used http://www.pa-roots.com/~treasures - I got this message "Welcome to the website of Treasures of the Past.""This page is a place holder for the home page of your own website." Thanks DCJJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sapphire Geenie" <sapphiregeenie@hotmail.com> To: <PAINDIAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 8:47 AM Subject: [INDIANA] Treasures of the Past Update! > Hello everyone, > > It has been a while since I have updated Treasures. First of all to let you know that I already know that the links for Greenwood and Oakland Cemeteries in White Twp Indiana Co PA don't work and neither does the links for Edgewood Cemetery in Conemaugh Twp Indiana Co PA. I do appreciate those who have emailed to let me know but I did that on purpose and will let you know when they are back up and in working order. > > This update is another mixture for several different states, some of you may not know but I am half Northern and half Southern, and I have to say that I think when you have ancestors from both parts of the country life is more interesting in doing research. Especially when you come from an interesting background such as mine and my half sister, who also is half northern and half southern also, we don't have the same father but are trying to prove that our fathers are related. > > In doing research it is amazing at what you find in your background that just adds all the more color to your family tree. Recently in trying to search down my one line I found an uncle and aunt who had actually gone to the courthouse and made out a deed for selling their slaves back in 1861, when I called the courthouse in Wakulla Co FL, they first told me the courthouse had burned in 1892 and that very few records had survived, but I told them that I knew this one had as someone else had seen it, so they dug it up for me and called me to let me know they had indeed found it and they had never seen such a document before themselves, although I'm sure most of us have heard of that these things went on. Copies of these documents are up on Treasures under the Bird/Byrd surname on the Florida page. > > We recently went and placed a Civil War marker at Bolivar, Fairfield Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA for a grandfather of ours by the name of Marshall L McDermott Sr. Earlier in May we placed two Revolutionary War markers in Antrim Twp, Franklin Co, PA for a grandfather Robert Clugston (Jane Huey's father) and an uncle John Clugston. We are hoping to soon send for a Revolutionary War marker for William Marshall Jr who is buried at Glade Run at Dayton PA. > > Also recently my sister, Marcia, my mother, Connie and I were in the Blairsville Dispatch for the 4th of July celebration. They had contacted us about doing an article on us and what we do and on the DAR, because my sister is a member. I have put this article along with the article that was done last October in the Indiana Gazette, up on the site for all to read. Both articles include photos. > > The History of Indiana County Her People Past and Present by Stewart is being transcribed and part of it has been put up on the Indiana County PA page of the site, along with some of the photos out of the book. > > I am hoping to now start working on the two Indiana County PA websites that I maintain and get them updated. And start on another update for Treasures as I have much more to add to the site. > > Carla > > Treasures of the Past > http://www.pa-roots.com/~treasures > treasures@www.pa-roots.com > > Indiana County PA Gen Web > http://www.rootsweb.com/~paindian > indianacountypagenweb@hotmail.com > > Indiana County PA Archives > http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/indiana/ > indianacountypaarchives@hotmail.com > > > > ==== PAINDIAN Mailing List ==== > Visit the "NEW" Historical & Genealogical Society of Indiana Co. website. > http://www.rootsweb.com/~paicgs/ > >
