No doubt you're right. Perhaps Jacob Rider could be found in some early "Who's Who" or social registers. I have to admit it was intriguing to me because some of the same patterns of migration, or the reverse, have appeared in my family.

50 million historical documents posted on Web Saturday, April 5, 2003 Posted: 9:53 AM EST (1453 GMT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATED . National Archives and Records Administration . National Archives' access to archives databases WHAT IS AAD? The Access to Archival Databases (AAD) System gives you online access to electronic records that are highly structured, such as in databases. The initial release of AAD contains material from more than 30 archival series of electronic records, which include over 350 data files totaling well over 50 million unique records. The series selected for AAD identify specific persons, geographic areas, organizations, or dates. Some of these series serve as indexes to accessioned archival records in non-electronic formats. The AAD system does not, however, support quantitative or statistical analysis of data. Source: AAD Now, people can pull these electronic records at their own convenience. It's totally self-service from your desktop. -- Michael Carlson, electronic and special media records director WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) -- Researchers, genealogists and the plain curious can now use the Internet to check more than 50 million historical records at the National Archives, from Civil War battles to family immigration files. Before the system became available, people had to either visit the Archives and spend hours combing through documents or request the files by phone and pay to have them mailed. "Now, people can pull these electronic records at their own convenience," said Michael Carlson, electronic and special media records director for the archives. "It's totally self-service from your desktop." The records available on the database system represent a small fraction of the archive's electronic holdings. They were selected because of their analytical and statistical nature -- most deal with information that easily can be looked up based on specific names, dates, organizations, cities or states. For instance, someone wanting to research a great-grandfather who immigrated to the United States in the 19th century can choose the series of records listed under "immigrants," enter the relative's name and learn on what ship he traveled, the occupation he claimed prior to leaving, the date he arrived in New York, and the country from which he left, among other details. "It can be another stop in creating your family tree and understanding what happened and when," said Michael Kurtz, assistant archivist for records services. Carlson said he expects the service will be popular with veterans in particular because of all the information related to military action, casualties and POWs. The records in the new system "aren't a revelation in information, but is it helpful? Absolutely," said American Legion spokesman John Peterson after checking out the Web site. "A lot of people active with the POW/MIA issue complain the government doesn't release enough documents about people who are still missing, so almost anything they give out is good in our eyes," he said. Kristine Minami, a spokeswoman for the Japanese American Citizens League, said getting easy access to government records will provide "a lot of validation" to Japanese Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II. The database draws from the records of 20 federal agencies. Most of the information was created by the agencies to suit their own program needs, without any thought to its historical significance. Because of that, some records have typographical errors like misspelled names or an inaccurate dates. National Archives officials did not correct any of the information to preserve the records' integrity. Shirley Langdon Wilcox, former president of the National Genealogical Society, called the new system an "extremely useful and exciting" tool. "This certainly gives you enough of an idea of what might be available to you so you know what to weed out before taking a trip somewhere," she said. "Anytime you have a tool that can make yourself better prepared before you go to the Archives or library, it's worthwhile. You don't end up wasting an hour or two looking at whether they have something, because you've done your homework."

Hello, I am searching for any information about an Emanuel Mease, born March 1847, probably Union Twp., Lebanon County. Emanuel's first wife was named Sarah, born 1849, died 1882. He later remarried in 1892 to a Mary (Rupp) Ditzler. Emanuel and Sarah had at least one child, Isadora Mease, born March 17, 1869; died Dec.19, 1928. I am searching for any other children; also the death date for Emanuel and the burial places for Sarah and Emanuel. Thank you very much for your help! Elizabeth Hagenbuch [email protected]

Hello, I am searching for any information about a Melchoir Mease, born 1845 in Union Twp.,Lebanon County. He was a son of David and Rose Ann Mease.

Hi All, Again the server which hosts this list was down for the past 2 days. This time it was intentional, since the digests had to be fixed. When brought up after the crash last week the filing of the digests for this list was all out of whack, so it needed to be adjusted. No mail was lost during the most recent down-time and hopefully everything is a-okay for the future! -Linnea Miller --

Hi! I was wondering is anyone has a Harry Swalm---- On the 1880 census for East Hanover he is listed as being 1 years old and being the grandson of my Rupp---of course I'm assuming one of the Rupp girls is his mother----there is no father listed for him there. This is another ave.(name) I would like to explore since this is the first I heard of that name----anyone that can shed some light on this is very much appreciated. Hope everyone is having a great weekend------------nancy [email protected]

Surnames: Carpenter Long, Dissinger, Ross, Greaves Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jdB.2ACI/359 Message Board Post: The following article was found in a newspaper published in Boyertown, Berks County, PA. I have no further information on these people, I just thought someone may be looking for this marriage record in Lebanon and not finding it. Berks County Democrat, Boyertown, PA Saturday, April 5, 1912 Surnames: Carpenter Long, Dissinger, Ross, Greaves Wednesday, April 3, at 1:00 p.m. Pierce R. Carpenter, son of former Sheriff and Mrs. Fred Carpenter, of 935 Chestnut Street, Lebanon, and Miss Edith S. Long, of the same city, stole a march on their many friends, when quietly they secured their marriage license to wed. They left Lebanon at 1:48 p.m. and came to Boyertown, arriving here at 5:00 p.m., when a cab met the party and conveyed them to the United Evangelical parsonage, 322 West Philadelphia Avenue, where the groom’s uncle, Rev. S. N. Dissinger, united them in the bonds of matrimony at 5:20 p.m. Mr. Carpenter is a druggist in his city, located in the old Dr. Geo. Ross stand. Four years ago he graduated in the Lebanon High School, coming out second man in a class of 165. A year ago he graduated in the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy, coming out first in his class for 3 successive years. He is 24 years of age and is one of the popular boys in his city. While here, he was glad to meet Dr. and Mrs. Greaves,! two of his class-mates, who graduated from the same school at the same time he did. His wife is the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. F. Long of East Cumberland Street, Lebanon. The parents departed this life some years ago and their only child resided ever since with her aunt in the old homestead. The newly wedded party left for a trip South Thursday morning, with the 5:29 a.m. train. No one witnessed the ceremony but Pastor Dissinger’s family.
