Thanks Eliz for letting me know there is no PA death index - he keeps me from searching for it. Pat - Thanks for letting me know that your sight was just NYC. I can use it because my dad's family comes from NY And by the way, how come I don't seem to get very many e-mails from PA? I'm lucky if there is one a day and mostly not even that. Carla

Hi, Jennifer: Can you provide birth/death years? Do you know where in these states these families were living? Are you interested in census material?

to Eliz and Pat for their replies regards death index. I will give both suggestions a go. What I am actually looking for is a Pennsylvania death index - would either of your suggestions be it? Carla

Hi, Susan: Good, I'll send the page. Heritage Quest Online doesn't have the 1930 PA census indexed yet (supposed to be finished & online by the end of this year), so I'm just looking at each page for the area you expected them to be in. Luckily, Hastings Boro. had only 40-some pages. HQ is searchable by surname, given name, year, state, county, area, age, race, gender, birthplace; so if I can't locate someone by their name, I assume that it was mis-taken by the census taker or mis-transcribed and start searching by other details. You're welcome! Debra On Tuesday, Aug 31, 2004, at 22:56 US/Eastern, Susan Bearer wrote: > Yes, this is definitely my Lann's.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, February 15, 1906 ANNA MARGARET REDLINGSHAFER, daughter of GEORGE and DOROTHY REDLINGSHAFER, was born in the province of Bavaria, Germany, Feb. 28, 1824, and died at the home of her daughter, ANNA SHRECK, Feb. 7, 1906, aged 81 years, 11 months and 7 days.  She came with her parents to America in 1849, locating in Washington County, Pennsylvania.  She was there married to JOHN ROSA on June 12, 1850, removing soon after to St. Louis, later going to Illinois and living in Pekin and DePew.  In 1864 she came to Lucas County where she has since resided.  Her husband died in October, 1867.  To them were born ten children, three of whom are now living; JOHN W., ADAM G.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, September 7, 1905 The many friends of the family were greatly shocked to learn of the sudden death of G.W.

Yes, this is definitely my Lann's. Sorry, Jennie of course wouldn't have been listed in the 1930 census because she died some time in 1929.

Anyone can go to their nearest Family History Center and search census files through Ancestry.com. To find the closest FHC go to: www.familysearch.org ; then select Family History Library System, then select Family History Centers, and fill in the blanks to find one. If you do not like the printout you can, for a small fee, request the microfilm to be sent to that FHC and print out from that. I would also add that the FHC has a wonderful index of the 1880 census that gives the roll, film no. etc. You can also get a list of all of the persons in a particular county by one surname which may lead to other persons. Many public libraries are now subscribing to Ancestry.com and/or HeritageQuest and one can go to any public library and use their computer to access these records at no cost. In Maryland, anyone with a 14-digit library card number can also access HeritageQuest from home through their library. The Genealogy Nut

Susan, Here is the list from Summerville, Cambria county. I included birth year and noted the ones that are marked born in France. Not having scanned any of them yet, I'm assuming the rest were born in this country. It may help. If you want me to look up the info. on any one in particular just let me know. By the birth dates I think some are family heads and children. Claud- 1879- France Mary- 1884 Mabel-1904 Leola- 1913 Mary -1915 Raymond- 1918 James- 1884- France Louis- 1887 -France Ephram- 1887- France Lanae- 1894 Alice- 1916 Agnes- 1920 Jean- 1927 Peggy D.
