I am researching the Buckley and King families of Huntingdon, PA. Is there a local or state archives that I will need to contact for birth, marriage and death records? Thanks, Clara

I spent some time researching Reed's in PA for an Aunt of mine. Don't overlook Reid as well as Read and Reed.

Hello all, I have just subscribed to this list. I am searching for a record of death of one, Morgan Williams, in the above named years. He was a Welshman and a harpist and may have been blind. He came from Wales to Plymouth, Penn. in about 1880 with his wife, Jean, and a young son. Another son was born in Plymouth in 1882. Morgan's wife and sons are found in Wales in 1891 and Jean is married to a David Jones. They have a daughter born Wales in 1887. I am assuming that Morgan has died. Is there a death index in existance for that time period? Thank you for your attention. Bella Creel in Minnesota.

Would some kind person please help me with a death index look up? I have found an English relative living in Connecticut new haven, new haven in the 1880 and again 1900 census. I think that he possibly died before the 1910 census. His name was Martin Cooper born about 1835 and was a watchmaker from England. TIA Karen

I am trying to find the father of one J. Alexander Cummins (or just plain Alexander Cummins) who lived in Somerset, Somerset County. He was born in 1767 at sea per the 1880 census for his son Joseph. Alexander died in 1845 and his son, Joseph, in 1883, in Somerset. I've noticed an online reference to a Revolutionary War soldier named Alexander Comins (the name he used for his pension application as being his birth name) who was born in 1750 in Antrim, Ireland. Since he served in the Revolution, he had to emigrate from Ireland prior to the beginning of the war. From reading online biographies published in books on Fayette County (where it seems he lived most, if not all, of his life after emigrating), I know that he had a first wife and wonder how I might go about finding more info on her and any children they may have had. I'm only guessing but it seems possible that this Alexander Comins could have been a very young father of J. Alexander born at sea in 1767. His pension app only refers to one living son, that being William Cummings (Alexander Comins went by Cummings in Fayette County) and names his second wife as Jane Livingston. I have found Alexander, Jane, William and Samuel all buried in a small family plot in Fayette County. There is DAR paperwork on Alexander Comins but no mention of his having a first wife. Any help greatly appreciated. I would love to "cross the water" on this one. Joan in Illinois

I am trying to find the father of one J. Alexander Cummins (or just plain Alexander Cummins) who lived in Somerset, Somerset County. He was born in 1767 at sea per the 1880 census for his son Joseph. Alexander died in 1845 and his son, Joseph, in 1883, in Somerset.

THANK YOU DEBRA. This is really fantastic. Thank you sooooo much for all the information. I couldn't wish for more. If my luck holds I'm going to find a living descendant. I can't thank you listers enough. What a great list this is. Regards Michael.

Thank you all for your help. I have found Louisa Young and her husband who joined your great country on June 22nd 1904 via the ship Oceanic from Liverpool. I just have to find their descendants now. Regards Michael.

Thank you Joan

Hi Joan, Thank you for replying to me request for help. The will was made by Edmund Marsh (a farmer) of Monmouthshire, South Wales. Louise (or Louisa) emigrated from Newbridge, Monmouthshire. I do not have a date for her leaving South Wales. At present I do not know if she was married before leaving the UK or when she arrived in PA. Her married name is Young, her maiden name was Jones. Louise was born in Newbridge, near Newport, Monmouthshire. I know she was in Newbridge for the Census in 1901. The next information I have is from the will, which says she is living in Webster, Westmoreland County, PA.
