Hi, While we are on the subject of Saint Michael's Church in Pfoutz Valley, etc., I, too, have been there ... I mean, to the cemetery. It was in April of 1969. And there was no church there, anymore, but I remember seeing the plaque. Now, my question is, does anyone have access to the baptismal, etc., records of the church? I need to verify the birth date of Henry Long, son of John and Catherine (Strauss) LONG (Johannes and Maria Catharina Lang/Long). Someone sent me that information perhaps as long as a year ago ... and now I can't find the source. That record proved that my Henry Long could not have been the son of John and Catherine, as my Henry was born in 1764 ... and their son, Henry, was born some 20 years later, if I remember correctly. In fact, chances are that my Henry Long was the son of the Henry Long whose will is found in York Co., PA and was probated in 1795, Paradise Twp. By the way, (to P. Campbell), one of my dad's first cousins, Christina Long, married an Ulsh ... and an aunt, Lucy Long, married a Campbell. They were raised near Eshcol, Saville Twp. (I met Cousin Christina when we were back there in 1969.)

Go into Millerstown and take rt 17. towards Liverpool about 4-5 miles and it sits off to your right surrounded by fields. The church is gone, but it was the scene years back of a indian massacre. Settlers were killed right on the cemetery near at an Oak Tree. Ulsh fits into my line just a bit, but I know for a fact manyare buried there as i have researched this cemetery. it is one of the oldest around and my relation was married there in 1739 long before this church was there. There was an old school house that sat there that served as a church and school both.Indians were so bad at St Michaels they had to stand gueard during the services. Due to my health I have not been able to get back over it lately, but its the most interesting ones I have ever seen. I have a photo here if you send me your email I will sent you a copy of the memorial thats there since the church was taken down. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Brown" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 5:56 PM Subject: [PA-Perry] Saint Michael's Evangelical Lutheran Church > I will be traveling to Perry County this week.

Hi Fellow Listers: If you are planning on going on the Washington D.C. Bus Trip that the Juniata Co. Historical Society is hosting to the Archives - please make sure you bring some form of photo-I.D. [drivers license]. They will not let you in the building without it!!!!! The bus usually arrives at Boscov's Mall, Camphill, Cumberland Co. around 7:00 a.m.. We then take Rt.15 and stop at a rest area just inside the Maryland border - mainly for those who board the bus up in Mifflin/Snyder and Juniata Co.. We usually arrive at the Archives about 10:00 a.m.. The bus usually drops us off at the main entrance to the Archives which is actually the back of the Archives building. At about 4:30 p.m. we must meet the bus at the front of the Archives building - where the large steps are [facing the Mall] and where the Declaration of Independence was housed and viewed. But I believe it is presently touring the US and not on display. Then on the way home, usually about 6:00 p.m. we stop at the Mountain Gate Restaurant for a smorgasbord/buffet dinner - It's GOOD!!!!! The meal is not included in the $25.00. The cost of the meal is around $12.00 total - well worth the money! If you are planning on viewing Civil War Pension records, please make sure you fill in the "request papers" as soon as you get there and get them handed in. They only pull these files ever 2 hours. They will also generally only pull 2-3 per person per 2 hours - if they are busy. There is no limit on how many files you can request nor copy. You will be able to make the copies yourself at a cost of $.10 per page. Not only are there Civil War records but they house the entire collection of this nation's Census' - 1790 thru 1930 - for every state. They also have the soundex for the 1870 thru 1920 Census'. If you need an index for the years prior to 1870, they have some in book form in the "library" - but not for all states. Your best bet would be to get a copy of the pages from your local genealogical society for the state/area that you need and take that along. I hope I have answered a few of your questions and that you might understand my answers and explanations. If you have further questions once you get there, there are persons who can assist you at the Archives. Best Wishes... and hope to see you on the bus!
