Hi, If you ancestor registered for the WWI draft in Wayne County, PA during 1917-1918, the image of the registration card, may be available at Ancestry.Com. Carol Potter Meadows

Having encouraged said Wainwwright desc. to chase down all avenues for records---one never knowing what tidbit// gem may be in a realtive's file--- (in this case, Wesley would have been a Gt. Uncle) Sheila // Firehair here is what came back on Veteran Records. Wesley J. Wainwright having died n WW I: <<<<<<<<"Request for Wesley J Wainwright's military records could not be fulfilled! One of 2 reasons..... 1. Unable to locate the record with the information. 2. The record needed to answer the inquiry was lost in the July 1973 fire that destroyed millions of records here at the National Personnel Records Center. The records stored in the area which suffered the most damage in the fire were those of: Army veterans discharged or deceased between November 1, 1912 and December 31, 1959 Air Force veterans discharged, deceased, or retired before January 1, 1964, whose names come alphabetically after Hubbard, James E." Form 13075 page 2 of 2 enclosed additional instructions state completion of the form 13075 may enable them to locate the record, if it is available, or enable the Center to make use of various alternate sources to reconstruct some of the basic service record data. They also note the Report of Separation (DD form 214, WDAGO Form 55-55, etc) may be available from the recorders office of the city or county where the veteran lived just after separation. additional information/instructions also included. Just thought you would be interested in hearing what happened due to the 1973 fire. I'll persue this by sending in the form , enclosing the copy of the information you found. It is possible Veterans Benefits claim may have been located elsewhere. Another possibility is since he was in Company G..... may be the NY State National Guard..... they may have their own records! I will have to contact NY Veterans Affairs office about that. My cousin David said his Dad had told him Helen filed //received Wesley's Death Benefits..... that was where she got the money to buy the farm on Cambell Rd. in Ashland. Also Wesley was a Gas Casualty may have outlived the war, returned to the States and dying from injuries received after his return. Brings to mind the quelling of the Veterans March On Washington caused by the Gov renaging on promises made to the Veterans! Another story! Lukiebert""">>>>>>>>>>>>>

Having been through this search recently for my great uncle, I share what I discovered. I got the same information about the fire, and checked the internet for company histories. I found a comprehensive one that told how my uncle was injured, the date, an extensive history of the movements of his unit as well as the company. I found that he was buried in Arlington Cemetery: the staff person there sent the location of his grave and date of interment. If you haven't already searched for published company or regimental histories, I recommend it. However, I don't have his service number, needed for the service records and pension records. I'm hoping that number might be on his draft registration, but haven't received a copy of that yet from the Archives. I found (with some difficulty) the number of the microfilm for Wayne County registrations at the Family History Library, but haven't ordered the film yet. The #s are 1926974 (includes Wayne Co. A-B; 1926975, Wayne Co. C-Z. The first includesWashington and Montana Co., the second has Westmoreland. I hope this helps someone.

Judy, Thanks to Iris for the WCHS plug! You should be aware of schedules, however. The historical society is open 10 am to 4 pm Wednesday through Saturday, while the courthouse is open 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, so if your time is limited Wednesday through Friday are the best days to hit both. I might suggest going to the historical society first, since Gloria is very familiar with what's at the courthouse and could point you in the right direction over there. They are very nice but don't always know what they have in the way of old records. And, some of the courthouse material is also on microfilm at the historical society - birth and death records 1893-1905, Orphans Court Docket for the early years, naturalizations, delayed birth records, etc. The courthouse has a microfilm room where you can get copies made. They are very accommodating, but naturally they are busy with current activities, so the more specific you can be about what you're looking for the better. The rooms with wills and deeds are open to the public. You just go in and look in the index, then go to the appropriate book. Although there are probate files in the open, for the old ones you're looking for you'll probably have to ask someone to fetch the file, which they're willing to do. As in most places these days, you have to pass through a security check at the courthouse. I always try to leave as much as possible locked in my car and just carry a pad and pen and money for copies. The public library has no genealogical information; they refer everyone to the historical society. My advice would be to sit down and decide what you're looking for specifically. Since your time is limited, you won't want to waste it looking for material that's available elsewhere. If you've already done the census, bring what you've learned with you. For the time period you're researching, hard evidence is pretty rare. In addition to Fife & Drum, there is a bed & breakfast on Main St. whose name escapes me, but I could look it up if you're interested. There's also another small motel called the Grandview. Since I live here I've never stayed in any of them, but as Iris says they are serviceable but not fancy. My cousin stayed at the Fife & Drum and said that the sheets were clean and the price right. If you want something more elegant, there are more upscale motels in Hawley and Hamlin. There are several luncheonette-type restaurants and delicatessens on Main Street, and if you're looking for something a bit nicer for dinner, ask Gloria and she'll point you in the right direction. We have a mall with a supermarket, K-Mart and some smaller stores, and across the highway is a large Wal-Mart. There are many small shops in town, including antique and gift shops. The weekends usually have lots of activities. There's a farmer's market every Saturday, train excursions to Hawley or Lackawaxen on the weekends, church suppers, etc. etc. While you're at the historical society you'll want to go through the museum (if you're not a member, there's a $3 fee that covers both library and museum), and the Dorflinger Glass Museum in White Mills is lovely. The Chamber of Commerce's Visitor Center has an excellent Gravity Railroad exhibit. The Wayne County Fair is the first week in August. I'm sure I've forgotten something, but both local newspapers (Wayne Independent and Weekly Almanac) have websites, so you could check up on upcoming events before you leave home. The most important things to remember on a short visit - know what you want to find and look for things that aren't available anywhere else. Ann

I will be going to Wayne County, PA next month to do some research on my descendents William Francis and Mary Way SPICER, who lived there around 1835-1850. I would love some advice on the best places in the county to look. Is the Wayne County Historical Society the best place? Is there a local library with a good genealogy section? I also want to look for land records and so forth at the courthouse. Can you make copies there and are they accommodating to researchers? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, where is the best place to stay and eat in Honesdale? Anything else that should be seen as far as touristy things? shopping? You always need a break!! Thanks so much, Judy Shaw

Marge, I'll send you a copy in the body of the email. If anyone else hs a problem, just let me know.

I don't know about anyone else, but I tried to print out the form and couldn't print it. Did anyone else have a problem?

Good catch.

Hi Ann, The notice of the Genealogy Fair on the County Website does not say how much the registration is...only how much lunch is. Carol

I have been having difficulty getting the news about Genealogy Fair 2004 out to aol subscribers and have apparently been declared a spammer. If you have written to me recently on another subject and not received an answer, please let me know. Lisa has posted the fair information in the website. Ann
