Hello- I apologize for the double e-mail. Iam new to this and I keep hitting the wrong button. I cannot help you with your request, but I need a little help too. I am planning a trip to Juniata Co. in Sept. I am researching the Wm. Beale family as well as Sharer, Pennald. I would appreciate suggestions as to where I begin when I get there, what I should see. I have relatives (gen.speaking) in Cumberland Co. too, Craine, Crawford and if I look, probably more as both sides of my family came from PA in the 1700's. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. Even B&Bs or motels. Thanks, Donna Kennedy

Hello,

Hello Fellow Listers: My husband, Marvin who is not "really" interested in genealogy or so he lets on... was talking to a girl recently about genealogy and the fact that I have been doing research for several years on my Juniata Families - RICHARDSON - MILLER - DALRYMPLE - TAYLOR - FULTON.

Here's what info she provided [no dates]: Hillary AUKER - herself [about 20-30 years of age????] Ronald AUKER - her father Raymond and Betty AUKER - her grandparents Raymond and Betty's children: Ronald AUKER [before mentioned] Steven R. AUKER Bonnie L. AUKER [presume a sibling as she listed her as an aunt] Raymond AUKER's siblings: Richard "Dick" AUKER Edward AUKER Donald AUKER William "Bill" AUKER Sara AUKER GREYBILL Can anyone help me gather some brief information on this family for this girl???

(Stephen DUCHMAN moved to Milford Twp., Mifflin Co. in 1797 from Lewisburg, Buffalo Twp, Northumberland Co. (later Union County)). John Howell was evidently married to one of Stephen's daughters. Payments were made to him annually from Jun 1810 until 1818. I'd especially like to know William REYNOLDS wife's name and anything else about their family. Thanks for any help!

Hello I am new to list. Searching for David & Priscilla McClelland GRIER- who were in Milford Township that was Mifflin Co 1830- and by 1840 census was Juniata county. I sent message to Mifflin County list & realized that if I am looking for cemetery records, wills & probate it would be Juniata county records is that correct? I am assuming they died after 1840 still Milford township. What Presbyterian cemeteries were around there- and is there any records available. Also what of Wills & probate records how would I find them ? Any suggestions are welcomed. Any other relations or researchers of GRIERs out there?
