Does anyone happen to know who has the cemetery records for the Bethel United Presbyterian Church Cemetery?? I was told the church has nothing to do with it - not sure if that is true or not?? Victoria

Hi Rick, Do you have their death certificates, it should give an address where they were living when they died. Good Hunting, Carol

I just lost a e-message from someone whose last name is FACKLER. I'm related to a FACKLER by marriage, and wondered if there is any connection (it's an unusual name). My FACKLER was born in Arizona in 1917. Anybody out there? Ann from MI

Hi Rick, Try the city directories. I'm in the process of doing this trying to find my O'Leary & Sullivan ancestors who lived in Sharon late 1870's & 1880's. They have a few old city directories going back to 1870 I think, but not a consistant record through the following years as there are a few years missing in between. I think they have some after 1900 and on up. They sent me the years that they have in storage but can't remember which ones. You can only see them on Tuesdays with the help of one of the volunteers, or someone will research them for you for a fee, which I'll probably end up doing unless I get back that way this fall. The older directories are fragile so you can't view them without assistance from one of the members of the society. Good luck. Don

Can anyone offer an advice to the following problem I have? My great-grandfather moved his family to Sharon, Mercer County around 1906 and he and his wife died there in 1928 and 1941, respectively. However, I cannot find either of them on the 1910, 1920, and 1930 census. I find their (married) children but not them. Their obituaries state that they were longtime residents of Sharon. Does anyone have any ideas why I can't find them in any Mercer County censuses? WILSON, David b. 1854 Ohio WILSON, Eliza b. 1857 Ohio Thanks, Rick Wilson rwilson7@aol.com St. Louis, MO

The only Davis I have in my line is: Mary Elizabeth Davis b. April 5, 1952 - d. July 18, 1894 married Thomas P. Seidel b. 1842 - d 1914. BIOGRAPHY: After his marriage to Mary Elizabeth Davis, daughter of Hanry and Lucy Brazee Davis they remained on his fathers farm for 5 years near Clarksville, PA; they then moved to a farm in Crawford County(Fallowfield Township, near Atlantic, PA) for 6 years. He then bought a farm in Lakawannock Township, Mercer County that was 116 acres. Thisf arm was located 3 miles from Greenfield and 3 miles from New Wilmington,Penna. BIOGRAPHY: After the death of his wife (1894 complications of serious still-born birth) in 1903 he purchased a farm in Jefferson Twp, Mercer county along the Shenango River. The old tow path of the canal was part of the farm. He kept the farm in Lakawannock Twp. and rented it. If this is your line I have a photo of her I will be happy to send you.

Gives birth info. 3 - social security application. gives birth info including parents names Hope this helps Joan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim & Shirley Daugherty" <jdoc@iquest.net> To: <PAMERCER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 9:18 PM Subject: Re: [PAMERCER] Request for Birth Certificate > Thank you, Bob.
