Hi Listers, How do I go about getting marriage records from the late 1920s through the 1950s in Venango County? Can you tell me the cost? And what about divorce records and the cost for them? My great uncle, Thomas Austin Eakin, b 1907, was married at least 5 times it seems, sometimes in Butler Co., sometimes Venango Co. Would his marriage notices likely have been printed in the newspaper, or is that something that generally didn't happen after the first few marriages? I know my grandmother must have been terribly embarrassed by the scandal of it all. She never told me about any of his wives, or anything about him, for that matter. Any and all tips for finding all these marriage records would be greatly appreciated. Jennifer Reno, NV

Johann Jost DIETZ arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 5 October 1763 aboard the ship Richmond. He settled in the Bedford (now Somerset) County area. His children were: Margaretha DIETZ who married Johann Adam RINGER and died in Somerset County, Pennsylvania before 1829. Anna Gertraud DIETZ who married Jacob SCHNEIDER and died in Somerset Co., Pennsylvania in 1821. Johann Jost DIETZ, better known as Joseph Yost who moved into the Venango County, Pennsylvania area. Some, if not all, of his children changed the spelling of their name from DIETZ to DEETS. Johann Ernst DIETZ married twice, first to Anna Margaretha GUITING and then to Rebecca GUILTING before migrating into the Tuscarawas County, Ohio area. Anne Elisabeth DIETZ who married George RINGER and migrated into Preston County, Virginia (now West Virginia). Jacob O DIETZ who married Susannah BAKER and moved into the Tuscarawas County, Ohio area. John or John Adam DIETZ who married a Magdalena UNKNOWN. He also migrated to Tuscarawas County, Ohio. I'm also interested in two people who may be brothers to Johann Jost DIETZ. A Johann Ludwig DIETZ and a Johann Jacob DIETZ. Johann Ludwig DIETZ may have migrated to either the Venango or Mercer County area. Johann Jacob DIETZ arrived in America on 26 October 1768 and eventually settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who may have information on the DIETZ/DEETZ/DEETS surname or who would like to request more clarifying information. Thank you very much. Dereck L. Dietz dietzdl@ameritech.net
