Hi list, Where might I confirm the birth of ancestor Jonathan Walton b.16 Jun 1777 to Amos Walton and Marcy Lacock? We need to confirm the parental link for application in the S.A.R. This date of birth was calculated from the date of death on his gravestone and also as listed in the book, "The Tenmile Country and Its Pioneer Families" by Howard L. Leckey. Thank you. Jeannette

I'd like to thank the several folks who provided an answer to my query about the location of Federal. Should have been looking in Allegheny County! Thanks again for your kindness and help. Shirley

Hi List, I am tyring to find where the above-mentioned marriage took place. Several years ago I received a scrap of paper from a distant relative giving a few basic details of the marriage but not where it took place. The paper states: "Samuel A Gailey Jr remarried on 14 Nov 1961 by Paul Schono, Alderman & Justice of Peace to Sophia Olish." About this time Samuel was living in Monongahela. Was Paul Schono an Alderman & Justice of Peace in Washington Co? Thanks for any thoughts and help. Carolyn (TX, USA)

Ohio is online, I've managed to acquire quite a few for my MCCULLY line.

That is to holdback the last 50 years of information, but to place all death certificateson line from 1906 to that point in time. This makes sense and is somethingthat might just "fly" as we say. The NSDAR leaves this kind of thing formembers to do as individuals, if they agree with that view. It seems to bea good idea to. In fact, this morning, I told a woman in another state that WV was online while we were on a phone call that she made to me. She got on line atthe same time & pulled up the record of a woman she was interested in rightaway. I had not know the URL for this & told her just to type in West VADeath Certificates & it worked for her just great. She took the item in toanother program to print out because it wouldn't come out all on 1 pagestraight from the source.

On the LDS site you can get some death certificates up to about 1953 as I have found many for Ohio and these are complete originals. I can't remember the latest date for the WV ones but I have found tons of them for family and keep checking. The things I found the best at the WV site is the marriage certificates in later years there. I type the name using the wonderful "*' feature they have for names, in case of wrong spelling, and then I work from about the 1930's all the way to the end and you can find marriages up to about 1970 and some of those counties that are on line right now, such as Marshall county, give the parents names and some even have the mother's maiden name in the marriage certificate. Some counties there are none for and one of those, sadly is Ohio County, WV, marriage records. This is where it seems a lot of Washington Co, PA residents were married. So push for at least 1953 on PA death certificates. I find those years prior to about 1961 are sometimes the hardest to find due to lack on the SS death index.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the road where this cemetery sits? And I would also like to know where the cemetery office is--if there is one, LOL. Thanks very much. Cindy

Does anyone know which church this minister, Herbert R. Morris, was associated with? This would have been in the 1902-1903 era, in Midway. Thank you.

Does anyone know where Federal, PA is located? On my relative's marriage records, he was working as a miner in Federal, PA. The date was 1902-1903. The wedding took place in Midway. Thanks.
