Dear fellow researchers, I'm looking for information about St. Peter's Church in Gwynedd, Montgomery County. Does anyone know what religion this church is? Also, is Gwynedd near Pottstown? I found a St. Peter's Catholic Church in Pottstown. Thanks. Marybeth marybeth@nothinbut.net

Are any of you researching the DARR/DERR/DORR surname? I am looking for some Derrs who may have come from Montgomery Co. in the early 18th century. Please respond direct if you have or want to exchange info. Lorraine in CA

Hi Edie, I am sure glad I scanned your letter even though it doesn't pertain to me. I've already ordered a Micro-film. This is great for us with relatives, hundreds of miles away. Thanks again, Brenda

Hi Bob: You are right that Corson Lime is near Wings field, it was the oldest Lime Quarry in the U.S. unfortunately I was the Human Resources/Safety Manager there and was there when the sold to Highway Materials, they no longer mine lime there and only one quarry is operational they are filling in the lake and the other quarry, I guess to build homes. But I wanted to thank you for your reply. Yes this genealogy group is great and another treasure I found was www.HeritageQuest.com I have been ordering the census CD's for only $14.95 (I am a member and they just released 1920 Census they have all the states if you haven't looked into this yet. Hope this helps, Edie

The following is a desc. chart of one William ENGARD of the third generation who migrated to Botetourt Co., VA from Montgomery Co., PA before 1800. It appears that one of his sisters, Dorothy/Dollie, went with her husband, Jacob GREGORY to the area also. William's children married into the SNYDER family. I suspect John was from around the Phila. area. Do any of you SNYDERS have folks who left PA and went to VA? Descendants of William ENGARD 1 William ENGARD b: Abt. 1766 prob.

Hi Edie, Thanks very much for your reply about the Corson quarry in P-W. Isn't that the one on Stenton Ave., a little way below Wings Field? I remember using Corson's lime, the 40# bags, in mortar as I built my house many years ago. If you had anything to do with the quarrying, processing, or bagging of that material, you are to be commended, because that was the finest lime on the market. I further commend you for replying to my question. Truly, people like you are what make genealogy so much fun. I can only imagine how difficult this research must have been before the 'net. Thanks again, Bob Reifsneider Orange Park, FL

Dear Don, Thanks Don, I do plan to contact the county for information about marriage applications and licenses. I just thought this site would be a good spring board to start the questioning process. Thanks again for your input. Suzanna

It is my understanding that PA currently allows a marriage licensed issued in one county to be used in other counties, however the record of application remains in the county where applied for. The record of the actual marriage should be returned to the county of issue, regardless of which county the marriage takes place in. If the license is applied for in Berks the return will be made to Berks, and if it is filed for in Montgomery the return record of the actual marriage should be in Montgomery. Marriage license applications are public record. Finding the record of marriage can depend on the time of the marriage. Prior to the erection of Montgomery County, the records were in Philadelphia. There is a long history of elopements in PA, and brides traveling to their husbands location during war time to get married. Are you certain they got married in PA? Betty Burdan <bjburdan@ptd.net>

Suggest you contact any county and state your case. Procedure should be the same, as all countries would follow the same rules. Don

Dear Researchers, Pennsylvania issues a state license to get married meaning the application can be completed in one county and the wedding ceremony can be in that county or any of the other 66 counties in Pennsylvania. Does the application follow the couple or does the application stay on file in the county where the couple applied for the marriage license? If the application stays in the county where it was applied for would the application be in the marriage license department of that county and is the application considered a public record? I'm having a challenge finding a marriage license so I'm trying to question the application process and how it interfaces with the license. I've looked up quite a few marriage records and they all fit nicely together in that the application and marriage both took place in the same county but now I'm faced with the application in one county and the actual marriage in another county and I need some guidance to follow through on this concept. Thanks for your help and guidance. Suzanna

I have tried to find some relatives of a gggrandmother Elizabeth McCoy who was married in Phoenixville Dec 18, 1856 to John Thomson who worked in Royersford. She is supposed to be born in USA and was only 16 when married but I have seen no Scottish names come up in the queries. Does anyone have any Scotch people in the area? Does anyone have anything about the paper mill there?

Hello, I have been researching the Tunis family of New Jersey. One Tunis group went to Ohio.

(Jabez) Would you know of any connection between the Tunis family in PA and the Tunis family in NJ? Thanks for any help you can offer. Langdon

I wanted pass along some information about a new book called, "The UPPER Uwchlan, A Place Betwixt and Between" Over 200 pages maps, photos & text in Hardcover. It covers the early eighteenth century Welsh settlement to the building of Marsh Creek State Park. I beleive the books were being numbered and signed by the authors. Cost was $35.00. The books were being sold by the Tri-County Heritage Society, Morgantown, Pa. and I beleive at the Township Building. I would double check the above info. Here's their e-mail. tchslibrary@juno.com
