If you have an Ancestery.com membership you can get the info from the Social Security Death Index a lot of times. The only bad thing about that is if there are more than one person with the same name....unless you know at least part of the date or SS # it is hard to tell if you have the right person or not. I try to match them up with any obits if possible. Or if I find an obit....then I try to find the exact date. Excuse me if I am out of line here....new to the list! *G* Louisa Faw Fraternal - Bish, Bailey, Martin, Winchester, etc. Maternal - Bailey, Pangborn, Steadman, McCain, Lewis, Dowd, etc...

Does anyone on this list have access to some old magazines, namely, the one mentioned in the Subject line? I need to get a copy of an article in that magazine titled "The Pennsylvania Militia in 1777". Should anyone be able to scan that in and send it to me by email, I would be most grateful. Nell Truitt

You are the greatest help - and I do appreciate receiving the copies from Forbes Road by Harry E. Foreman. Also, I have received the copy of Marriage record for my CHRISTIAN FRELEY/FREILEY, so this really gives me documentation for my proof to DAR. J. Nell Beck Truitt Oklahoma

Hello All, I have scanned and uploaded more pages of the book "Historical Sketch of Carlisle and Northwestern Pennsylvania". This section contained several maps. 2 of the maps were large fold-out ones which had to be scanned in sections and stitched together so apologies for any lines that don't quite match up. They are an 1816 map of Erie and Crawford Counties and a 1904 Railroad map of Erie and Crawford Counties. Both of these appear with the book as well as separate larger versions under the "Map" section of my site. The pages just added also contain several smaller more localized maps.

Hi Listers, Please does anyone know if there are any searchable lists or databases online for Westmoreland County? Still looking for my YOUNG's Regards Michael.

Does anyone happen to have pictures of the inside of the Basilica? I have a picture of the outside but when I went back to get pics of the inside the priest had left & locked the doors. I live in NJ & don't get over that way but once in a blue moon so any help would be appreciated. Cheryl

Just in case there are any other folks in the world searching the OSENCUP/OSINCUP (and other variations) surname, here is a little info on my line: Jacob OSENCOPE d aft 1820 prob. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co.., PA; Ch. Betsey m Stephen Gilbert BARNES b 1782, Henry, Sarah m BARNES and Nancy b c 1800 m John LaFRANCE (my line). 'History of Broome Co., NY' by H. P. Smith, 1885: Vestal, Tracy Creek - 'Gilbert Osincup is a native of Vestal, where he was born in 1828, near the farm on which he now lives. He is a son of Henry (above mentioned) who came here from Kingston Valley in 1812. Henry's father was Jacob Osincup, a Hessian soldier, who was taken prisoner at Valley Forge (Trenton) by Washington's troops.' 'History of Broome Co., NY' by H. P. Smith, 1885, pg. 474: Vestal, Tracy Creek - 'Henry Osincup was probably the first settler on Choconut Creek; he came before 1812 and cleared up a large tract of land. He subsequently settled where Frank Osincup now lives.' Trying to discover if the Jacob in Luzerne Co., may be the father of Henry mentioned above, plus any other Osencup information Anyone???
