Are they the clasical white > farm houses with the nice turned wood porches and trimins? Miles Caughey Hello Miles, In my reply to a posting on Noah and Louis Speer, I mentioned that the houses required in Belle Vernon were 2 story German square houses and Scotch Irish farm style houses. There are several styles of homes and barns that were common in the past. 1) The German square house with 4 rooms on the lower and upper floor with a hall way down the middle. My aunts house was an exception. It had an entrance way at the front corner of the house with its own stairway. The ceiling in that hallway must have been 25 feet high. In the back off the kitchen was a tight, steep spiral staircase going upstairs. You could bump your nose on the next step if you weren't careful. It was only one person wide! 2) The Scotch Irish farmers were particularly fond of the two story, one room wide and 3 rooms long house. In the country the porches were on the long side but in Belle Vernon and other towns the main porch is on the end toward the main street. The lots in BV are either 40 foot or 80 foot wide by about 115 (or 150?) foot deep. The 40 foot width lots were ideal for the Scotch Irish homes and the 80 foot wide were used with the German Square houses. Some of the Scotch Irish houses have small side porches. Most of the homes up North have basements but the ones down south usually have a crawl space. In the country, the farmers could expand on the "I" form of the house by making an L wing at one end or a T wing at the middle the same width and height as the main I section. 3) The newer common Ranch style has rooms only on one level. 4) The British cottage style has dormers in the attic for other one or two upstairs rooms. It has 4 or 6 rooms on the main floor. 5) The Southern or Louisianna "shotgun" house where if you opened the front door and backdoor you could shoot a shotgun through the house and not hit any walls. It was usually built on stilts. 6) The Split-Level home is also a newer variation of a Ranch utilizing a raised basement level for living. 7) Another variation of the Ranch which utilized the basement level was one where the front entrance way came in mid floor on the long side and had steps leading up to the 2nd main floor and down to the basement 1st floor level at the entrance hallway. Many of the houses originally had more than one chimney. When metal basement coal furnaces came along, the 2nd chimney on the front side was usually taken out like it was in my parents house - what a dusty mess! Many of the houses in BV had slate roofs until the invention of asphalt and fiberglas shingles. The roofs had to be strong enough to hold the stone roofs. Many of the immigrants started off living in the basement section of their homes since they couldn't afford the upstairs. Some of the basements ended up looking pretty nice. My friend's dad built a pretty nice looking house about the time my friend was in high school. There are several styles of barns too: 1) The impressive German barns in the north which took advantage of the sloped hillsides and had the main 2nd floor entrance on the uphill side. On the lower level was a forecastle or open area recessed along the entire lower side of the bottom floor which could give protection to cattle without them coming into the barn most of the time. They would be allowed in the lower floor in the winter time. 2) In the south, cattle did not have to come in in the winter time. The barns are a lot smaller and don't store much hay. There usually is no lower section or lower porch. But there is a drive through open section in the middle of the main floor usually with no doors but maybe a fench gate where farm equipment can be stored out of the weather.

Hello listers. I am searching for my grandfather's family, his name was Michal HOS(Z)PODAR. He was the son of Michal and Anna KOSCSO HOS(Z)PODAR. My grandfather was born 10-6-1893 in Samudovce, AH. He had at least 3 brothers, John, Andrew, and Paul, and two sisters Ann and Susie KOSTOVICH m. Michael. Michal came to the US in 1911 and settled in McDonald, PA (Wash. Co.) where most of my know relatives live. John went to Canada (Temiscaming, Que.) and I have recently gotten in touch with his grandson. It is possible that one of the other brothers came to the Mon Valley along with a cousin of the KOSCSO line as my mother remembers a George KOSCSO coming to visit the family in McDonald. She thinks he might have been from the Monesson area. I have a picture of Michal, John & sons, and a cousin George, mostlikely from the 1940's. Michal married Victoria Anna LEYTRICK (don't think that is the origional spelling) and they had Emile (dad), Edward, Alice, and Ann Carol. Michal's birth certificate lists him as Greek Catholic. Any help with these names would be appreciated. Victoria Hospodar Valentine [email protected]

Hi, I am Carol Webb and I am researching the Benjamin ROLLISON family of Carroll Twp, New Eagle PA. Benjamin was born in County of Stafford ENG, abt 1820's. He was married to Anne_______, b. abt. 1820's. The family came to America sometime before 1845. They had the following children: Emily, Amelia, Isaac and Jacob (Enoch, Anne, Benjamin, John, also appear on 1841 Census Dudley Worc. ENG), but no knowledge of these children in the research done so far, in America. Benjamin's son Jacob settled in Monangehela Valley area and Isaac's family settled in Everson , Fayette Co and Scottdale, Westmoreland Co. PA. The name has been spelled ROLLASON, ROLLISON, and ROLLINSON in the family. Hoping to find other ROLLISON/ROLLINSON family researchers in the area. I am presently in contact with a descendant of Jacob. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Carol Webb

Could you tell me WHERE you saw the books? On my next trip back to Wash. Co., if they are there, I'd sure like to see them! Thanks, Robert D. Mollenauer, Jr. Ridgecrest, CA >> I try to give my answers back to all on the rootsweb because I feel if one person has a question then others may have it also but they just won't ask. I was the same way when I started my researching about ten years ago. At that time there was no rootsweb stations to consult with. I do enjoy sharing the info I collect because I do know what it is to not know who my family were due to a divorce when I was 3 yrs. old. I personally think everyone should be given their natural lines from day one. I personally feel that no individual has the right to keep any info from any individule concerning who their family tree is. But I've been called a dreamed many times and I've suffered many years by not knowing and being afraid to ask because of what the consequences would be if I even asked. Thank goodness I grew up. The Horn books are a very controversial set of books. I have been told by many that the first two books are fabricated but that the third vol. is great. I have the first two that I found at an Estate Sale several years ago. I also saw them at the Charleston, WV Archives. I personally have enjoyed my two Vol.'s and use them as ref. when I find something. I always try to find a second opinion on what I find in them also. Getting a second opinion is something I always try for in all my research. The books are written by W.F. Horn and were published by The Herald Press, Scottdale, Pa. I don't know if they are still available. They are about the early Western Movement on the Monongahela and Upper Ohio 1765-1795. My copy was made in 1945.....Laura Nelle

The Noah Speers listed below sometimes spelled his last name Speer. His dad Henry was recorded as Speer and Spears in official records of PA. In VA prior to 1761 it was recorded as Capt. Peter Henry Speer and Spears. The second Speers was also mis-typed J. M.Speers in the article. It was Louis Marchand Speer. He is buried at Rehobeth Church and Noah is buried at Gibsonton Cemetery in Belle Vernon - formerly spelled Bellevernon. Louis's middle name Marchand was probably derived from the name of a Doctor from Greensburg. There used to be a cast iron sign on State Street in Belle Vernon that mentioned Louis's name. Now there is a sign for Noah there with both the spellings Speer and Speers on it. It is near the Methodist Church. There were 15 or more Noah's or Noa's in my family tree. There were 5 Louis Marchand Speer or Speers, plenty of Solomon's and Henry's and William Speer or Speers or Spears. There were 3 spellings of the Surname. Louis lost the ownership of North Belle Vernon to S.F. Jones after the recession of the mid 1870's. He was well liked as a businessman and employer and the whole town turned out for his funeral. The carriage line went from BV to Rehobeth. The original deed to my folks house on Henry Street shows the name of S.F. Jones. The town had restricted building codes. All of the houses were to be at least two stories and be either German Square houses or Scotch-Irish farm shaped houses. How many of you knew Speers, PA. was called West Belle Vernon? This took me a while to figure out.

Little Tidbit! There was (obliterated with dirt over etc.) a small cemetery on the McKeesport/Elizabeth Road near a small area called Bellbridge. It is at Coursin Hollow Road, which doesn't go through to the other end today. Just a couple houses are at the bottom area. This cemetery has more than one name. Sometimes is called Coursin Hollow Cemetery & others The Frantz Cemetery. Have no idea why it picks up the Frantz name, and will have to check that out someday. There are Coursin people in the cemetery. Just know of a very few of the burials there. No records available as of this date. Just thought it was interesting when I saw the Frantz name on the list today. It's not that common. Goodnight, Ellen (ETHS) ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

>From Charleroi Mail, Saturday, May 6, 1944, Page 1: "Four Injured in Bus, Truck Passing Crash Belle Vernon Troopers Cover Bad Mishap at Large; Hold Trucker Four persons were injured and damage totaling $815 was caused yesterday when a passenger bus and a truck sideswiped along Route 51 near Large. Troopers from North Belle Vernon barracks investigated and declared that the operator of the truck, a boy of 17, and his employer would be arrested for violation of the state motor code. Albert NAUGLE, 17, of Hazelwood, was driving the truck which belongs to Collins & Schweinberg of Homestead Park. NAUGLE and the senior partner of his firm will face charges for permitting the 17-year-old boy to drive a truck. John KIKEL, 30, of Willock, was operating the bus. Passengers who were hurt include Frank BOST, Elizabeth, R.D., who received fractured ribs; Henrietta RECK, Pittsburgh, R.D. No. 11, suffered a sprained back and dislocated left wrist; Harold S. SOLTAN, Pittsburgh, received an injury to the back and shoulder and was taken to West Penn Hospital. Driver KIKEL was also injured. They were treated by doctors who reside nearby. According to the troopers' report, NAUGLE had passed the bus which was stopped further down the highway. In passing the bus as it started on its way NAUGLE is said to have made a motion indicating he was going to make a right turn. Instead he turned left and the two machines sideswiped with considerable force. They ran along the road a short time before stopping. The crash occurred at 9:15 a.m. but it was later in the day that officers at Belle Vernon barracks were notified. Damage of $750 was done to the bus, they declared."

I have another name to check out with the Washington County site members. That is the name of Frantz. James Scott, my great grandfather, married Amy or Emma Frantz, daughter of Isaac Frantz. We understand that the German pronunciation of Naomi can be pronounced Naeima, then Emme, Emma, Amy.so possibly her name could have been Naomi. There is mention of Isaac Frantz where there was a Mount Pleasant. I am not sure what Mount Pleasant this was: "McBride and Isaac Frantz traded lands on or before October 15, 1823. McBride conveyed his 205 acres of "Mount Pleasant" to Frantz for the latter's 118 acres, on which he then resided , and a carding-machine. Frantz conveyed the 205 acres to which he had thus acquired title to Jacob Frantz, December 23, 1823, for $1, 862.76, about two-thirds of which consisted of a certain writing obligatory which Jacob held against Isaac." Isaac had a son named Jacob. Not sure if this could have been the Jacob. In his will, he leaves property to son Jacob and daughter ? , Elizabeth, Susan, Peter, Lady, Abraham, Mary, Catherine, Margaret, Emma, and ?.Will witnessed by John Graham and George Burger, before Wm Miller, Register. Dated June 29, 1857.) Would anyone have heard of these Frantz names in the Monvalley area? Frantz perhaps at one time was "la Frantz" [email protected]
