    3. Renaye: Three rivers flow through Johnstown, The Conemaugh, the Little Conemaugh and the Stoney Creek. The latter two merge at a Y or locally known as the point to form the Conemaugh which flows into the Allegheny River in either Westmoreland or Allegheny County. I would focus your attention in Cambria first then move to Westmoreland, Indiana, Somerset, Allegheny Counties. You may also want to look at surname changes, Devore is a fairly common name for the area. Also at the Pennsylvania Archives they have the following detail on the Spanish American war and people from Pennsylvania who served: http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/military/span-am-war.htm Spanish American War Veterans' Card File of United States Volunteers, undated. (1 drawer) {series #19.78} [Holdings] Arranged alphabetically by surname of soldier. The card file of veterans who participated in the Spanish-American War was created by the Office of the Adjutant General in 1941 from information taken from the official records of the United States War Department. Information found about each veteran includes name, race, residence, place and date of birth, date and place of enlistment, military organization to which attached, rank, and dates serving overseas in either Cuba or the Philippines. Sometimes extensive comments at the bottom of the cards provide information on the reasons for, and the type of, discharge as well as a record of prior military service. Also included in the file are summary lists of the names of Pennsylvania veterans determined to be eligible to file claims for pensions; receive awards, medals or badges; or receive replacement discharge certificates in lieu of a lost or destroyed certificates, in order to provide a record of death or to receive Pennsylvania Veteran's Compensation. Based upon the Veteran's Compensation Act, passed in 1934, it covers those who gave the State of Pennsylvania, or any place within the Commonwealth, as his or her place of residence and who served in World War I from 1917-1918, the Spanish-American War in 1898, the China Relief Expedition, or the occupation of the Philippines or Guam from 1898 to 1902. Spanish American War Veterans' Compensation File, [ca. 1934]. (35 cartons) {series #19.79} [Holdings] Arranged alphabetically by surname. The file was created by the State Adjutant General's Office in 1934. Based upon the Veteran's Compensation Act, passed in 1934, it covers those who gave the State of Pennsylvania, or any place within the Commonwealth, as his or her place of residence and who served in World War I from 1917-1918, the Spanish-American War in 1898, the China Relief Expedition, or the occupation of the Philippines or Guam from 1898 to 1902. Included in the file are the following documents: Veterans' Compensation Applications normally provide names, races, legal residences on entry, current residences, where and when enlisted, places and dates of birth, names of dependents, organizations to which attached and dates of service, grades or ratings with dates of appointments or promotions, engagements involved in, dates of any wounds or injuries received, dates served overseas, and the dates and places of discharge. Also noted is whether a veteran ever applied for compensation before or ever refused military duty on conscientious, political, or other grounds. The notarized forms are signed by the applicants, the officers administering the oath, and a local notaries public. Verification of Service and Bonus Payments. Consists of forms that normally give the soldiers' names, ranks, companies and regiments, the dates mustered-in and out, the dates of enrollment, and the application numbers. Spanish American War Veterans' Compensation File for Soldiers with Disapproved Residence, 1934. (2 cartons) {series #19.80} [Holdings] Arranged alphabetically by surname of veteran. Consists of Veterans' Compensation Applications for soldiers having disapproved residences. Based upon the Veteran's Compensation Act, passed in 1934, it covers those who gave the State of Pennsylvania, or any place within the Commonwealth, as his or her place of residence and who served in World War I from 1917-1918, the Spanish-American War in 1898, the China Relief Expedition, or the occupation of the Philippines or Guam from 1898 to 1902. The notarized applications provide each soldier's name, race, legal residence at the time of induction and current residence; date and location where enlisted, commissioned, or inducted; date and place of birth; names and addresses of dependents; the dates of service in various military organizations, stations, or vessels; grades or ratings achieved together with dates of appointments or promotions; engagements served in; dates of wounds or other injuries; and the date and place where honorably discharged. The forms also provide information as to whether the veteran had received a bonus or veteran's compensation and documents any refusal to perform full military duty on conscientious, political, or other grounds. The forms are signed by the applicants, the officer administering the oath, and the local justice of the peace attesting to the identity of the applicant.

Someone helped me get a 1860's census from new jersey, where they resided for a few years. So from that i know you have the correct family. Also mary and elizabeth, i have found out were twins. You were correct. Using City directories (i am not good at this genealogy stuff, yet) i have found they lived on 414 North 9th street (not ave), in lebanon. ACtually this is the address of a church, where i have found out he was the preacher of. I have contacted the currect preacher of the church who is helping me as well. Turns out he is some far far relation. Any idea how i would find any info on elizabeth(foster-daughter of walter)and married to George-they lived in lebanon, pa also -last i can get any info was 1973 living on north 11th street. Also the other sister Laura,(who moved many times but always lived in the city of lebanon) its like her son and husband have disappeared off the face of the earth. Unfortunately being just a beginner, i dont know all the resources, have been using librarys so far and messege boards. Will have to go to the historical society as well. I do have the obits for Walter and anna march, though, as they both passed in Altoona, Pa. Thanks so much dave!

Did anyone ever answer the lady's request? If so, what was determined? I'm not sure this is the proper venue for such requests as mine. I'm rather new at genealogy researching online. Thanks for any light you can shed on the matter. - - end quote Christoph Embich is my ancestor. He did live in Lebanon Co. (although it was Lancaster Co. when he arrived there). And he did come to this country on the Nancy. However, he did not come in 1774. Christoph Embich came to this country in 1752. He signed the oath in Philadelphia on 27 Sept 1752. Christoph went on to participate in the Revolutionary War as did sons Christopher, Philip, Bernard, and Jacob. I'd love to share information on the Embich family. Please contact me directly or at the Lebanon Co. Message Board.

    3. I've been researching my Embich line of ancestors lately and today I came across a request on RootsWeb(dated 2002) for information about Christoph Embich, a carpenter, who came to Lebanon from Germany via the ship The Nancy on June 21, 1774. Did anyone ever answer the lady's request? If so, what was determined? I'm not sure this is the proper venue for such requests as mine. I'm rather new at genealogy researching online. Thanks for any light you can shed on the matter.
