Can you tell me if I am correct in that the records at Ellis Island only are between 1892 and 1924? My family from Ireland would have came long before those dates. I am thinking between 1855-1860.

Do you already have Peter Conway in the 1930 Census? I checked and there are 21 Peter Conways in PA in that year, only two in Allegheny, but one says he's born in PA and one says he's born in Scotland. If you don't have him in this year yet, I could look at some of them for you but would need an approximate age for him and his wife's name as well if you know it (if he was married). Also, if he died in PA, you could obtain his death record and find his parents' names listed on there, if you don't already know this information.

Hi Jean Go to Ellisislandrecords.org and log in and go to person search and the site will prompt you from there. It is possible there could be hundreds of people with the same name. I have a very successful time locating family through the ellis island database. Steven Bunney ( London)

Thank you so much for the advice. I didn't know about the part that there was the possibilaty of apologizing and being aloud to continue their faith. Ginnypin@20l.com

Hi, Pat: You're quite welcome. The pages are on their way. Do you think Albert and May started their families by 1930? If they did, maybe someone with access to a 1930 census index will be able to provide some help. Good luck with your search!

Hi again, Correction: Clan Stewart Society http://www.clansstewart.com Maggie May (Liz)

Hi listers Many thanks to Debra for the information on my Turleys. Yes Those are mine on the 1881 census although the street name should read Turley Street - a mistake in spelling I think. That's marvellous to find them a bit later on also. I think I found Joseph's death in about 1934 on one web site I looked at, and yes please I would love copies so I can show them to my last surviving uncle. Many thanks also to Eliz. for the information she sent to me. Could any listers suggest what I do next to try and trace any children of Albert Turley (I think born about 1907)and birth and marriage of May Turley (birth date unknown) -if any- which may have been born to them. Are there any newspapers in which I could put an advertisement? I am assuming this would be for the town of Wilkinsburg, Allegheny Co., P.A. Here's hoping for some success with this, but many thanks for the help so far. Pat in England.

Hello PA listers, I was glad to see my family wasn't the only one from PA.  I'm forwarding my web page for starters to the list.  I will try to explore individual questions as time permits.   Also info on how to contact Clan Stewart Society Subject: Stewart/Boyd family relationships http://www.clanssstewart.com also see: bottom of my web page for more Boyd family information. Larry, I got your e-mail.  I'm looking on my family listing.  We have Stewart and Young family listed on the tree from PA.  Must do closer study for this family.  Thanks.

Diane, I saw your request for some information on Betsy Osencope, but I have not heard that name before. This Saturday our family is having a big reunion, I can ask someone who will be there if they have come across that name. There will be several of us who are researching our family that are coming. Hope I will be able to let you know something! Mdre007@aol.com
