Can a first cousin, once removed, return? Cemetery: (n) A marble orchard not to be taken for granite. Crazy.... is a relative term in MY family. Genealogy: Chasing your own tale! Genealogy: It's all relative in the end anyway. Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people. I trace my family history so I will know who to blame. It's hard to be humble with ancestors like mine! Life takes it's toll. Have exact change ready! Searching for lost relatives? Win the Lottery! That's strange; half my ancestors are WOMEN! Do I even WANT ancestors? Some I found I wish I could lose. Every family tree has some sap in it. FLOOR: (n) The place for storing your priceless genealogy records. Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate. Genealogists never die, they just lose their roots. Genealogy: A hay stack full of needles. It's the threads I need. Genealogy: Collecting dead relatives and sometimes a live cousin! Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living. Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools! I looked at my family tree...there were two dogs using it. I think my family tree is a few branches short of full bloom. Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards. My ancestors are hiding in a witness protection program. My family tree is a few branches short! Research: What I'm doing, when I don't know what I'm doing. Take nothing but ancestors, leave nothing but records. Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related.

Archives are 8:30 AM til 4 or 4:30 (not quite sure)PM Mon thru Fri. They are a government county facility and so I don't believe have Sat. hours.

Hi- I am looking for any BERKHEISERS and their relatives. Some other early names are Jacob and Catharine Berger, Michael and Dorothea Hoffman, Johannes and Susanna Beyer, and Johannes and Elizabeth Miller. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Gregory
Donna, Do you know the days and hours of operation for the Montgomery County Dept of Recrods and the Montgomery Co. Historical Society? Thanks, June
Thank you, Mary Jane, that is new information for me. I am originally from the Quakertown, Pa. area now in Upstate New York. If you ever hear of anyone I can contact concerning the Diamond Glass Company history or records; I would very much appreciate it. I am researching other Buzby, Feaster, Cadwallader families in that area also. They were Quakers and later migrated to Upper Bucks County. Many thanks for your reply and message and new informaton. Lea Simitz Buzby
Lea, Yes, Royersford is in Montgomery Co. There was a glass manufacturer there called Diamond Glass up until approx. ten years ago. I have a pair of salt and pepper shakers they made. I think they may have been a good candidate for manufacturers of insulators. I'm not sure how old the company was or if it always was called Diamond Glass. Hope this helps. -Mary Jane
I believe Royersford is in Montgomery County and would like to know if anyone can help me with the information on Joseph F. Buzby. Thanks, Lea Simitz Buzby My latest "brick wall" is Joseph F. Buzby of Royersford, Pa. who invented a glass insulator in 1890. <A HREF="http://www.insulators.com/photos/photos/1418-aqu.htm">CD 141.8 BUZBY in Ice Aqua</A> . I made a contact with a collector of insulators and he sent me a copy of the patent #427,296 dated May 6, 1890; app. filed December 31, 1889; Serial # 335,497 Witnesses. J.E. Snyder and D.R. Rhoads; Model drawing #427,296; May 6, 1890 Witnesses A. Ruppert and H.A. Daniels Attorney Thomas P. Thompson. Have you any inside patent information connections?? I can't seem to get anything. Any help you have time for will be sincerely appreciated!

Unless you want something very current you don't want the courthouse. Montgomery County has an archive library. They have indexes and original documents for wills, deeds, court records, coroner reports, and in some cases births and marriages. Research is free (you pay for your copies only), and the staff is very helpful. I've used them extensively and couldn't be happier with the results. Montgomery County Dept of Records 1880 Markley Street (basement) Norristown, Pa. 19401 You may also want to try: Montgomery County Historical Society 1654 Dekalb St. Norristown, Pa. 19401 They have a $4.00 a day research fee for non members and you pay for your copies. Good Luck Donna
Sorry listees! I just erroneously attached the entire digest #348 to my response re LIGHTCAP. Don't you just despise those people who attach the original in their response?!! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to send it that way. I will try not to do that again!! Just wanted to apologize! Diana

Hi List, I am new to this list. Just joined today. I discovered that my gggrandfather, Jesse Franklin Hunsberger and his wife, Leah Hittle Hunsberger are on the 1850 census for Upper Hanover Twp., along with their daughter, Mary, 2,(my great grandmother) and Sophie, 1. Since I do not know the names of Jesse's parents, I am hoping someone out there can help me. This census also lists Abraham Hunsberger (age 53) and wife Elizabeth (age 54). The ages are right for them to be Jesse's parents. Jesse was born in 1826 and died in Reading 6/22/1901. Leah was born near Boyertown, 8/3/1824, and died in Reading 8/21/1910. Leah's obit lists her parents as Daniel and Mary Hittle and says she was the last of her family. The 1850 census also lists a Maria Hittle in Upper Hanover Twp., head of household, with Sophie, age 19, and Daniel, age 17, which could be Leah's mother and siblings, assuming her father died before 1850. If anyone else is researching these names and Upper Hanover Twp., please contact me. Thanks.

Hi All, I just joined this list and I have some questions for any of you who have researched this county for some time. I just discovered that my gggrandparents lived in Mont. county in 1850, some time before they moved to Berks. So I went to the Montg. county courthouse site, thinking I could do a surname search for available records, such as marriage, death, birth, and estate, only to discover it is nothing like the Berks County site. If I read this correctly, I have to pay a $10 fee to register and then $.15 for every minute I research on line. I never heard of anything like this. My question is: Exactly what is available at this site on-line? Do they have indexes like Berks or the actual records on line? I can't imagine paying such exorbitant fees to research for indexes. Is the Montgomery County courthouse open to the public to do research? Do they provide tables and copy machines? If anyone has done research at this courthouse I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. Judy B. in NY state ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
