Hi: I am looking for any information as to where the yearbooks for graduating nurses were sent after the closing of PGH. The year 1933 is the one I am interested in. Any help would be appreciated. Jean

Every year I hope this is the year I can make a contact with a Donovan/Morrison decendent ,maybe this year . !920 my grandmother Ella Donovan Schlotfeldt passed away in Tacoma ,Washington, leaving 8 children she was from Philidelphia, Pa. originally. Her father was John Donovan a civil war veteran, her mother was Sarah (Sallie) Kelly. She had three sisters Elizabeth married to Harry Gleim they were childless, Catherine was married to William H. Morrison and they had a son William born in 1904,and a third sister Gertrude not sure of her married name, and three brothers Dan ,Tim and John. The children on the west coast including my mother lost contact with the Donovan family after about 1930. Is there anyone out there who can help??? Jane Blair Britz

Hi, I reviewed a few books from 37 to 38 from GPH. I reviewed them at the Philly Archives. I don't recall the exact contents but it's a worthwhile start to check the Philly archives.

Dori; I was able to find the 1910 census image for Isabella Smithson. I can e-mail it to you offline if you wish. She is listed as 67 years old. She is living with her 69 year old sister Mary and 13 year old niece Elizabeth.

Of the 6 children in my father's family, only the births of the 2 youngest were reported. They were they only ones born in a hospital and that was 1917 and 1919. My father's cousin was a premie twin who wasn't expected to live. His twin's birth was reported but his wasn't. (He just died at the age of 88.) In NYC, by the way, midwives were not required to report births at the beginning of the 20th century. Merle

I have gone thru the frusteration of trying to obtain the birth cert of an aunt. When all is said and done, my advice: Try every spelling of the name you can think of. The family name I was looking for was SCHLEYER what I came up with SHLIER. Another thought, which you probably won't want to hear, less consider, adoption?

A set of grandchildren never had their births recorded at all until the oldest was 12. It got overlooked by the person who should have done it. (These were midwife deliveries.) Getting a birth certificate for a 12 year old is a real problem -- the state of Pennsylvania thought we might be trying to smuggle in illegal immigrants.

Dear Merle, I know what you mean about the Mid-wives maybe not reporting a birth. I was able to find out from my mother before she passed that, I was born on a Sunday she thought and maybe in the morning. But, other than my birth date, there is not much else I know.

Unlike marriages and deaths, births were reported whenever the doctor got around to it. Thus, a June birth could have been reported many months later, or not at all if this was not the doctor's way of doing things, or not at all if the child was not expected to live, or probably not if the birth was attended by a midwife. Frustrating, but true. Merle
