Hi Teri. I'm sending a copy of this message to the PAMONVAL mailing list, due to the large number of surnames mentioned in the posting in the posting in question, on the Washington County genealogy site. It would be worth a look to anyone who had family in the Belle Vernon, Fayette City, Allen Township area! go to: http://www.chartiers.com/pages-new/articles/scrapbook.html I just happened to stumble across your posting on the Washington Co site, and was quite amazed at the number of my family members or extended family members included in AvaRilla's notes. Possibly the reason that I haven't found it earlier, is the fact that my great grandfather, James DONALDSON and my great great grandfather John DONALDSON's names are spelled DONALSON, so the page would not come up on a search. Some of the surnames that are quite closely related to my tree: DONALDSON DALE KREPPS TIPPINS FURNIER (Misspelled FURMIER) The above lived in Allenport There are probably a dozen other names that are within my files. Do you know if there is any other information from the scrapbook. Also do you know if AvaRilla (Bell) Hess was related to the people she wrote about, or were these friends? The page title says (Page 1-10) are there more pages? I would be very much interested in learning more about this scrapbook. -- Thanks Mike Donaldson, Bentleyville, PA (mdonald4@bentcom.net) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mon Valley History and Genealogy Website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pamonval/ Mon Valley: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: http://www.geocities.com/mdonald318/ My family gedcom: http://www.my-ged.com/donldson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Listowner of: Monongahela River Valley of Penna Rootsweb mailing list: PAMONVAL-L@rootsweb.com - Mail mode PAMONVAL-D@rootsweb.com - Digest mode Bieneman / Bienemann Rootsweb Mailing list Bienemann-L@rootsweb.com - Mail Mode Bienemann-D@rootsweb.com - Digest mode
