A Military Thank You If you are so inclined, visit the Department of Defense web page below and sign a brief message thanking the men and women of the U.S. military services for defending our freedom. The compiled list of names will be sent out to our soldiers at the end of the month. So far, there are only about 5,600,000 people have signed to date. What a shame. There should be hundreds of millions of thank you's. Pass the word that we can honor and support the defenders of freedom during National Military Appreciation Month http://www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html It takes only 10 seconds...literally.

Nancy, since you are in Texas and the Marx room in the Easton public library is probably not a place you will be visiting easily, I would suggest you check out the web site familysearch.org. In the right hand column under "Family History Library system" you can do 2 things. 1st you can find out if there is a family history Center near you. 2nd if there is you can search the catalog under Mt Bethel Northampton co PA to see what records are available on microfilm. I used microfilm a while ago researching Northampton Co and I remember seeing some Mt Bethel things. I don't know if they will cover the time period you are interested in but you can look. There was a series of 6 ? reels of microfilm of records of 25 or so churches & cemeteries in the Northampton Co area. It is a typed transcription and there is an index to all on the first reel. These reels are copies of records from the Marx room at Easton. To use this microfilm you must identify the microfilm number and jot it and the title down. Call or visit the Family History center or perhaps write a note. There is a charge of $3.50 to cover postage & Handling. the microfilm comes to the Family History center [NOT to you] They will keep it there for about a month or if you pay a renewal fee they will keep it longer. You must use the microfilm at the center. Hours vary from place to place but are posted on the Familysearch web site. Staff are untrained volunteers and vary in the degree of assistance they can give but learning how the system works will open a treasurehouse of source material to you. Microfilm of records from all over the world are available this way and this is the only way I know of accessing such records at a place relatively convenient to your home. The family search site also has a "search for ancestors" feature where genealogies donated by other researchers can be searched for FREE. This database does not list original sources for each bit of data but does often list submitters names and addresses so that you may make contact with them. Even without the source notes this material is valuable in giving some indication of WHERE to look. It is not perfect and sometimes you will find seperate genealogies of the same line with conflicting data. They post this data free of charge but cannot verify for accuracy. That you must do yourself. I wish you well. It may take persistence to become familiar with the Family history center nearest you but I have found the effort very worthwhile.

The following information I recorded while researching my WASHBURN line in NE-PA. It contains more then 100 other surnames so I figured since I had to transcribe it into my database anyway, I would post it so others might benefit. I copied the pages I list below which are the first two books below before reaching my copy limit in the research room. The entire content of each page below contain many more names and I've scanned and converted the pages to PDF format and can send them to you if so wanted.
