Greetings After hitting a Brickwall with my research of my Upper Dublin ancesters and the Lack of Local History of the Area on the Internet I have taken to task to create an Upper Dublin Families website devoted to research in the Jarrettown, Dreshertown, Ambler, Fort Washington & Fitzwatertown area at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dynamo53/UpperDublin/UpperDublinFam ilies.html with links , Maps, Biographys, Local Pictures & Family websites. Feel free to drop me an email if anyone wants to link their website or needs help creating one. I also have created the [email protected] mailing list to compliment the website.As I live in Florida now and do not have access to local libraries in Pa. any one who has any local history of the area and can supply me with I would be grateful (ie.. Pictures ,Biographies ect.....). Thanks Bill Cannon Surnames from Upper Dublin ....Lightkep (Lightcap) Fenton

Hi Bill --- As an Upper Dublin resident (and my wife is an Upper Dublin native), I looked at your website. It would be nice if looking at this would not subject one to pop-ups. Perhaps you can look into and correct this. Anyway, there is a publication c. 1975 called "Yesterday's People - The Upper Dublin Story" by Susanne Hilton and printed by The Winchell Company of Philadelphia. This is an approximately 114 page paperback concentrating on history from 1681 to 1926, including reference to the first use of "Upper Dublin Township" in 1701. During my five plus years of helping on genie requests, including www.raogk.com, genie angels, and this board, I have helped several people with UD requests, and I believe that there is no shortage of material available. In helping one particular person, after locating the likely family heritage as being in the vicinity of along Limekiln Pike between present Broad Street and Mondauk Road, I spent hours at the Montg Co Hist Society going through family histories, so there is plenty there also. There certainly is the Fort Washington Historical Society on Bethlehem Pike that has a wealth of information, as well as church records in the Presb. church at Susq and Butler, the Friends at Mtghouse and Ft. Wash, Trinity on Summit in Ft. Wash, etc., etc. It seems like you are biting off from a 1000 miles away what already does exist and may have been compiled already. Your objectives are noble, and hopefully your efforts will be coordinated with and contributed to the Hist Society and the Upper Dublin and Abington Libraries. dennis gries fort washington ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 11:12 AM Subject: Unidentified subject!

Dennis Maybe you were missing the my point when I said that there was a " Lack of Local History of the Area on the Internet ". Being a thousand miles away was the reason I made the site as there are many people who do not live in Pa. researching there lines that came from Upper Dublin. I do have Yesterday's People which can be bought from the Upper Dublin Library for below $10.00 . As for the pop ups, this is a page that is hosted by Rootsweb and it pays their bills but there is a great tool bar from google that has a pop up blocker and great search features http://toolbar.google.com/ Thanks for your insight Bill Cannon Hi Bill --- As an Upper Dublin resident (and my wife is an Upper Dublin native), I looked at your website.

Hi Bill - Let me know if I can help in any way (as long as we live here - as we plan to join the Florida crowd about next year). My only proviso is that the local orgs are aware of what is going on and can access whatever you organize. Yes, argh, a certain hoster of many things genie is a horrible pest with pop-ups, and then they slap down certain messages that have a slight commercial message. I think I subsidized the Library for more than $10 when the book was new ;-) dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 12:50 AM Subject: [PAMONTGO-L] Re: Unidentified subject!
