Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about Mr. Bean and the various societies/libraries in Norristown. It appears all roads lead back to the Historical Society of Montgomery Co. - I guess I'll have to start "saving up" so I can contact them again. Perhaps you will be able to answer another question I have .... I notice on your Civil War Burials in Montgomery Co. website that you list area cemeteries located in Montgomery Co. While looking for information on the Gulph/Gulf region of Upper Merion I discovered a listing for a "Gulph United Church of Christ Cemetery" located in Gulph Mills, PA. Is this a cemetery that you are familiar with? On your site "Gulph Christian" located in Conshohocken is the only Gulph mention I found - are they one in the same? Since my N/Nathan/Nathaniel Smith is listed as residing in the Gulf in Upper Merion I was planning on checking with the Gulph cemetery to see if their records go back prior to 1830 - are there any other cemeteries in the area that you or another list member might recommend making contact with? I really appreciate all the help that has been offered by the list - searching for Smiths is a difficult project made much more pleasant by discovering all the wonderful people willing to lend a hand, Susan [email protected] wrote: >>Mr. Bean was the founder of the Historical Society of Montgomery County that >>still exists today.
