Thanks for your help Eliz... I know the census info can often be wrong in the first place and then misread when transcribed... Just try to put them all together and see what I can come up with -mainly wanted to know how many children she had, how many living and birth dates. Guess what's there is better than not having anything to check like 1890...

I just noticed that I made a typo on the 1900 info. The line "--- ...y - son - w - m - 5/1892 - 10 - single" should have read: --- ...y - son - w - m - 10/1889 - 10 - single" Based on the 1920 info, it looks like this child's name was Stanley. 1920 - 347 W.

Hi, Jan: Lousy copy on Heritage Quest Online, too, but this is what I think I see: Series: T623 Roll: 1396 Page: 275a & b 1900 - Greenwood, Clearfield Co., PA - 6/19/1900 Bell, Manerva - head - w - f - 2/1856 - 44 - widowed - married 24 yrs.

This seems to be the same family in 1910: Series: T624 Roll: 1373 Page: 201 1910 - 1021 Franklin St., 8-WD Williamsport (city), Lycoming Co., PA - 4/26/1910 Bell, Minerva - head - f - w - 54 - widowed - 7 children/5 living - none - own/free/house --- Beula - dau. - f - w - 27 - single - collector/Gazette & Bulletin ...

Debbie Thanks for the speedy reply. I did have 1880 but knew there were more children and hoping to figure out their names etc.... Will work with what you sent and see if I can figure out any more of it. I couldn't even get this much! Thanks again.. Jan in WA >I just noticed that I made a typo on the 1900 info.

Hi guys, As most of you know I am a historian here at Andersonville. I have a newfound resource for those of you who had civil war ancestors who survived being imprisoned here. I have recently bought a copy of the 1905 dedication of the Pennsylvania monument at Andersonville which includes those survivors who applied to be here for the dedication and those who actually made the trip. I will be happy to do the lookup for anyone looking and will scan the cover, as well as the page showing their ancestors name if mentioned here for the event. There are roughly 700+ on this list I also have a copy of the book made for the recent rededication which has the list of those from Pennsylvania who died here. My offer is also to scan this and send to anyone interested. There are 1849 soldiers from Pennsylvania who died here. .

Some time ago I found a site that enabled me to search early Philadelphia Directories but somehow I have lost the urls. At the time I didn't have as many references to names as I have now. Can anyone give me some addresses that I can use to search for directories c1882 - 1900? In particular I would also like to check for names in Upper Darby. Are there any directories especially for this area? Bryan A Curran Flagstaff, Hamilton New Zealand

Ancestry has some really early ones and I think a 1890 so give us the names if you don't have Ancestry <G> Eliz
