CA 1818, John Neal, so of Adam Neal and Jeanette (Andrews) moved to Pulaski Twp., Lawrence Co., Pa. with his widowed mother, a brother James, and 2 sisters. Does anyone know anything about this John Neal? Based on the will of James Gaw, I know that John Neal had a son John Neal, Jr. I do not know if John, Jr. moved to Pulaski Twp. with his father. If anyone has access to the 1850 census, could you please look up John Neal. Thanks so very much. Clare

Dear List Owner: Please pass this on to your listers. There is a new, and wonderful, genealogical website that was started for Youngstown, Mahoning County, Ohio, in January 2001. It contains a lot of historical and genealogical information for those who had families that passed through Youngstown. In addition, as the site administrator, I am looking for genealogical data to be added to this site. I have high aspirations that this will be an excellent site for northeastern Ohio. Please let your listers know about this site. http://members.tripod.com/harry_turner_3/ The Youngstown Genealogy Website Best Wishes, Harry Turner

Could someone please give me the address to Greenwood Cemetery, I have just Found out that my GGG Grandmother was buried there and I would like to write to them for information. Helen

The Lawrence County 1877 History is now on line. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/lawrence/1877/ Ed McClelland, Alexandria, Virginia.

I was at an auction last summer and picked up some old pictures. Most were nothing but among them was a small boy. Name on back of picture was William Grimes. April 1, 1907. At the top it had John Grimes and that name was scratched off. Anyone claiming this person can have the picture. The auction was in Lawrence Co. Slippery Rock Twp. but thought I would post all three in hopes of finding an owner. Elsie segura@ccia.com

I received this message from Rootsweb and wanted to pass it on to all of you - - <Starting at 8 a.m. PST Friday, February 23, RootsWeb will begin a planned temporary downtime for maintenance of its servers and hosting process. It will limit this downtime as much as possible, and will return with increased performance and reliability for future growth.> Basically that means that while they are doing the maintenance starting tomorrow - on Friday, the USGenWeb sites for Mercer, Lawrence and Crawford counties won't be available, as they are all housed at RootsWeb. Thanks for you patience during all of this. Teri USGenWeb coordinator for Mercer, Lawrence and Crawford Counties

Hello, Thanks to a member of this List (Thanks again Ethel) I have a reference to Durant's "History of Lawrence County, PA", There is suppose to be an extensive history of the Crow's in New Castle. Parts of the New Castle area was once called Crow Town. Names of streets etc. are stilled called Crowton ........ an abbreviation of Crow Town. If anyone knows what the exact tiltle of this book may possibly be or has access to it I would really appreciate the help, I am a long way from a library, so I want to be prepared if I make the long drive.
