I would like to know if anyone on here has ever worked with these newspapers, other than the few for the 1840's that they have in the library in Greensburg on microfilm? If so, can you tell me what the entire extent of the dates of them were & if you ordered them in on microfilm to the library etc. I do know they were published in the second half of the 1830's.

Looking for information on Hovey Shoup. He lived in Clarion Co., 1880-1902. According to the 1880 Census he was 25 and According to the 1900 Census he was 48 when they where taken. So with that in mind he would of been born between 1851-1855. Spellings of the last name may also very... Shoup, Showp, Shop, Shoop. I would really like to find his parents and see if he had brothers and sisters. Also according to the 1900 census there was an Eliza living with him & his family. I am not sure if that is his mother or if it was his wife Anna's mother. Any information from 1850-1870 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tricia

Many thanks for everyone's help -- I appreciated it very much! My "Cuz Frank's" obit was found! Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Hi, Is there anyone who could do a lookup for the obit of Francis "Frank" DUNCAN in last weeks newspaper? He died on Apr 7th or 8th 2006. I believe he lived in the Washington Twp., area of Westmoreland Co., PA. I think Frank DUNCAN was the name he was using. He was, also, nicknamed "Mountain Man." Thank you very much for doing this lookup for me. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)
