    1. Westmoreland County Historical Society: GEARY
    2. Brian C. Geary
    3. Hello, Is there anyone who is planning to do research at the Westmoreland County Historical Society during the Holiday break, or in the next few weeks, and would be willing to help me along on my Geary genealogical research? I am primarily looking for information on two of my ancestors. The first is Joseph Geary (approx. 1822-1876), who was married to Margaret Easley Geary (1829-1902), and is burried in St. Mary's/Holy Family Cemetery in Latrobe, PA. The second is John Geary (1789, Ireland - 1872, Latrobe, PA), who was the father of Joseph Geary and married to Catherine (possibly Coyle) Geary (1792-1872), and is burried at St. Mary's/Holy Family cemetery. I believe that he may have emigrated from Dublin, Ireland to Philadelphia, PA between 1815 and 1821. Would anone have the time to do one or more of the following searches? Whether the dates of death or burial of John and Joseph Geary at Holy Family/St. Mary's Cemetery of Latrobe are in the "Cemetary Listings"? Whether the Geary surname is listed in the "Genealogical Correspondence File of over 3,000 surnames"? Whether the John Geary or Joseph Geary listed above are on the "Index of Landowners and Joiners (1769-1905)"? Whether the John Geary or Joseph Geary and their spouses are listed on the "Marriage and Death Records"? Whether the John Geary or Joseph Geary and their spouses are listed on the "Naturalization Records (1805-1850)? I would appreciate any help that anyone would be willing to give to me. In return, I would be happy to snail-mail or fax copies of the history of an Irish family surname, on which I have considerable information, and reimburse for any photocopies which are made. Thank you. Sincerely, Brian Geary
