Could anyone tell me where the Bethel is located? I beleive it is in Jefferson Co., but no real indication. I am looking for any information on Moses Shofstall/Schofstahl/Shofestall/Shoafstall and Elizabeth Sofada/Soliday. They are my fourth ggrandparents. Just located the last name of Elizebeth this week. and one of their children was buried in Bethel Cemetery. If anyone has any information on Moses or Elizabeth, please email me privately. Thanks in advance. Mary Jane Forsythe Phoenix, AZ

Good Morning Listers! I was wondering if there was anyone out there who is a descendant of the above persons. I am looking for a relative who might be able to tell me anything about Sarah. I am really looking at this point for when Sarah's mother Catherine Dinger Hollenbaugh died and where she is buried. If anyone is researching this name please email me I am connected thru Sarah's brother John Michael Hollenbaugh. Thanks Nancy

John, Thanks for the inf. You are correct, that is my Wm. in the 1880 census. Also in 1870 with the post office as Cool Spring. I am really puzzled by the Brookville Democrat 1881, which lists the Death of Christiana Anthony, age 77 w/o Wm. Anthony and mother of Mrs. John S. Barr. Mrs. John S. Barr who is Nancy Jane Anthony on her death certificate has the mother listed as Jane Nottenbaugh. The census records in which Nancy Jane appears are with Wm. Anthony and the mother is listed as Jane. I don't know who Christiana Anthony is. I have the whole Barr History and wanted to do Nancy Jane's parents. I have a ton of Anthony's also, just not the ones I need ! Connie M. My Genealogy Site http://www.angelfire.com/pa/heyconnie

Nancy, We have a section on the Jefferson County USGenWeb site called "Planning your trip to Brookville". http://www.pa-roots.com/~jefferson/ which lists motels, restaurants, etc. There is/was a B&B on Main St. Let me check on it and get back to you. Brookville is very small and if you end up staying at one of the motels on Allegheny Boulevard near I-80, it will take you 3 minutes to get to the Court House and JCGHS...max! My only caution is to beware of metered parking. The meter maid (a former school mate) takes her job very seriously. The Jeff Co Genealogy & Historic Society is on Jefferson Street right behind the Court House. There are no meters on Jefferson Street, so I'd recommend parking there. The closest restaurant is The Meeting Place, directly across Main St. from the Court House. Excellent food, open for Bkfst, lunch, and dinner. -- Alice J. Gayley I feel like I have a PBS mind in an MTV world.

Good Afternoon Jefferson County, I know the website has a listing of places but I was wondering if someone could recommend a place in town close to the courthouse. We will be staying for a week to do nothing but research. And it would be nice to stay at a bed and breakfast with local owners. Also, any suggestions or tips for our stay would be most welcome. Please email me directly as to not tie up the list. Thanks so much Nancy Anxiously awaiting a research trip!
