Sorry, friends! Especially Ann who so kindly tried to find a reference in the Civil War records. I forgot to specify that it was the Revolutionary War that I was looking at. I searched on Brice COLLINS and was referred to records for that time period. But there didn't seem to be a way to locate the actual reference. And all I found by widely ranging spot searches was a reference to a John COLLINS (which happened to be Brice's father's name). Are the records not fully indexed? Do they refer only to surname? How would I find a specific battalion? Would appreciate any advice. Lorraine lorraineq@juno.com

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use these resources. I know, according to a Pennsylvania Archives card, that my 4ggf Brice COLLINS served in the 4th Bn., 6th Co., from Cumberland County, under Capt. Jonathon Robeson. But I can't find him anywhere on the Ancestry site. Am I doing something wrong??? Lorraine lorraineq@juno.com

Dear Mifflin County researchers, I am beginning to plan a week's trip to Mifflin County in June to do some intensive research and would greatly appreciate some advice about what records are available. Want especially to see the land records themselves, not just the indexes microfilmed by the Utah Genealogical Society. Are those still housed there? Aren't a lot of different Pennsylvania documents preserved in the Orphan's Court records. Are they also still at the courthouse there? Any other sources for estate papers, wills, etc.? Where is the Historical Society located? And does anyone know their hours of operation? Of particular interest to me are really early records...from the beginning of the county to mid-1800s. May also have to check out Cumberland if I can't find what I need in Lewistown. Would Harrisburg be at all helpful? Unfortunately, I know quite a lot about Ohio and Iowa and other locations further west, but have absolutely no clue about Pennsylvania. So any advice you could share would be very helpful. Thanking any recommenders/informers in advance. Lorraine lorraineq@juno.com

The following articles from Lewistown True Democrat: Article Date: 8/12/1874 p. 3, 4c. "General John Ross owns 440 acres of coal land in Cambria Co. " ***Note: I hold a copy of this page, BUT the copy is "chopped off" - not giving the entire article. the article titled "Railroad Smash-up" on the 3rd Column includes a direct GLANT (Glannt sp. in article) relative. Article Date: 21 Dec. 1876 - Death Notice/Obituary for Gen. John Ross "Gen John Ross of McVeytown died last week, buried McVeytown, died Dec. 13, age 66y1m23d." Article Date: 4 Jan 1877 - Death Notice/Obituary for Gen. John Ross' wife - Sara R. Ross "Sara R. Ross, relict of late Gen. John Ross, age 56 yr. died McVeytown on Jan. 1, 1877 of consumption."

I can do a lookup in the Mifflin County cemetery book for you. What name/names are you searching?
