Good Idea! I am researching Reed, Smith, McCracken, McKinstrey and Reitz in Jefferson county. Thank you, Joanne Trout Smith

Hi Everyone, What you are doing is called a "Roll Call". Would any one be willing to collect all the surnames (along with the researchers) in one list? If so it would be added to the Jefferson County USGenWeb Project site for all visitors to see. Alice Gayley Co-Coordinator Jefferson County USGenWeb Project

I too think this is a good idea. SPRANKLE, MEANS, ALLENBAUGH I have over 100 obits and articles on Sprankle and about 50 on Allenbaugh. Would love any additional info. on any of the families Suzanne

I don't know just what you are working on, or how far back you are, but with some of those surnames, it is likely that you go back to Northumberland and Schuylkill County. (I live in Schuylkill) Quite a few families from here moved out to Jefferson County in the 1800's. Kindest regards, Ralph Schwalm

Thank you. I'll keep posting until I run out of information. Deb

Greetings, I noticed you mentioned BROSIUS as one of the names you are researching. We may have corresponded previously on this, but I don't recall at present having done so. I correspond with many people at different intervals and have lost track. Anyway, If you haven't already seen it, I have some Brosius info on my web site at: http://kwthompson.pa-roots.com/gny/BROSIUS/brosius_menu.htm Please contact me if you have any questions.

TO ALL Well said. Thanks to EVERYONE that has something to share!!!!! I know I appreciated when someone lists their surname, that's how I found a lot of information. THANK YOU DEB!! Not all of us lowly "beginners" or "new researchers" feel the same about posting as some others. THANKS AGAIN DEB. YOU ARE A GREAT PERSON for listing things that others would like to know. YOU GO GIRL!!!! Researching Surnames: Barnett - Stalhman- Hawthorne-Himes-Delp-Moore-Bish-Sample and others (PA) - Sweet-Marcias-Hunter-Capparello-Whitbeck and others from UPSTATE (NY) Leasa

I think it's a great idea! Deb

Deb, I think it is a good idea to share "stuff" that you have access to with the rest of this group. I personally would like to see a refresher from all listed on PAJEFFER on all the names they are researching. Personally, I am looking for information on: KUNTZ, YOCKEY, BONSALL, GRUBE, RISHEL, LUNBERG, WEBER, HAUCK just to name a few. I would love to be able to find obits and other records that I do not yet have. My family name (POWELL) is from the Ogdensburg, NY area but KUNTZ is my mothers side. How about the rest of you out there? Tom

Hi everyone, This is great. I also have Lucas & McGiffin's in my Simpson line, and Magill in the Simpson and McKinley lines. I have a friend (and kinda-cousin) in Mesa AZ that has lots of Lucas & McGiffin's in her line. I will forward this your message to her. Gerry in Phoenix

MAM, I was just sharing some obits that I had copies of. I thought that they might help someone. I do not know these people, they were just on a piece of newspaper that I had in my possession. I have other bits of information, i. e. Marriage records, City directories, obits, that I thought I'd share as well. It might help someone find someone they are looking for. Being new to this list, I thought I'd spread the information. It's not doing me any good, but it might help someone else. The surnames I'm looking for are: TAPPER, COLLEY, ROWLAND, KREITZER, KESSLER, SHEEHAN, BROSIUS, KENNEDY, WADE, HUGGINS, DEBERRY, ROCKWELL. Thank you. Deb

This message is in response to Leasa ([email protected]), Leasa, I have 3 books by Daniel Paul Caylor. on the "Caylor's", One book is "Daniel Knisely Barnett, & Rachel (Stahlman) Shaffer" Some of the surnames I am researching from the Jefferson, Clarion area are: Stahlman, McKinley, Rhodes, Paul, Simpson, Haugh, Fleming, Butler, Packer, Rose just to mane a few direct ancestors. I also have a lot of Shaffer's, Dinger's, etc. I think I must be related to almost every one in the area.... Hope to hear from you soon. Gerry in Phoenix, AZ

This is a great idea! I am searching surnames of: Sowers-Brosius-Shuckers-Himes-Shaffer Nancy in Or

Deb-- Thanks for all the obits, but I don't see a common thread, i.e. none of your lists have people of the same name on them. Since you are new on this list, it might help you to tell us what family name(s) you are looking for. MAM

Sykesville Post Dispatch Friday 8/22/1941 JOSEPH MAIER. -- JOSEPH MAIER, 50, DuBois carpenter contractor, died at the DuBois hospital on Wednesday evening following a heart attack. He had been in failing health for several months.

..........and you are not complaining. In fact, instead of the fee, one could give them ten dollars and tell them to keep the change. It's is an uplifting feeling. No doubt enough is enough on this subject, and most, like me, want to move on.

I visited the Jefferson Historical Society this past week and paid $10.00 membership fee for a year. I also visited the Armstrong Society this past week and paid $3.00 for a hour or so. Both places were very helpful and didn't pay a lot of bills on what I contributed. Joe Pelletier North Wales, Pa.

You know, sometimes, we gripe for the sake of gripping. Whether you pay $10, for membership, or a $3, usage fee, it is still going to something most of us like doing. And, that is genealogy. Did you ever stop and think that most of us have spent a great deal of time and money getting our documentation, and pass it on freely, expecting nothing, yet knowing we have given the correct information hoping to help someone else.f Why not drop the subject!

Paying the $10 user fee gave me a year's membership. Its a good way to get new members.
