You know I requested off list for the books as he requested. I got them promptly. If everyone would have read that he gave his email and said to contact him off the list, this problem would never have occurred. At any rate, thanks to him.

However I agree with all of you. We don't need everyone requesting this on the list, there is a delete key, tax lists are genealogy. HOWEVER...... then not only do we get all the requests which bogged up everything but then we get the banter back and forth on the issue. Do you all know how many people belong to this list? Do you ever go into the Archives and look around? There were 104 messages sent to this list in March. Take a look below. And I didn't copy the entire thing. WHAT IF...... in all this banter and complaining someone used the same subject matter but DID include ancestors names and it was deleted because we all think it is still junk and arguing. How would you like having to click on ALL THESE LINKS to see if there is something worth while in them????

Someone may be able to give you more info. Do you have census info for later years? Was he still in PA or in OH? Any clue as to when he left PA? After the Archives (as mentioned in another reply) another good place is the Lancaster Co Historical Society. You might find some church info but anything else, I would imagine, would depend on when he moved from the area. If the census showed he had siblings, they may have stayed in the area & you may find some family info through the them (obits, church & cemetery records etc.) Another good place is the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society. Good luck and have fun in Lancaster Co!!

I know this is disturbing to a lot of people, but they should be so happy that people are willing to offer information to those of us that are not in the area and do not have knowledge of these books or files. I have learned so much about the history of PA since joining this site. Louise Commerford - Washington State --------------------------------- Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.
