HI List Does anyone know of a reliable researcher (or volunteer) who can check for tax records for me in the court house in County Armstrong PA. I have made direct enquires to the court house and they said that either myself (I’m in Australia) or representative would have to go there and look. If anyone knows of anyone or has used anyone’s services in this area I would be very grateful of the advice. Kindest regards Dianna

Hi folks, Once again,looking for a relatives of Anna Michna/Michener b.October 29 1898 in Bakonycsyrne Hungary.She came to PA in 1910 with her brother Michael b.1900 to join her parents.When her mother died in 1918,she left the family and we believe she was engaged to someone in the military after that,but have never heard from her again.Her brothers searched for her in the 1930’s,but found nothing.If there are any relatives out there,I would appreciate hearing from you..Thank you,Paula

A useful resource for odd or archaic words is: A to Zax:  A Comprehensive Dictionary for Genealogists & Historians by Barbara Jean Evans.  Hearthside Press.  1995.  Third edition.  ISBN 0-945231-02-4.

Remember that saloon keepers often brewed their own beer in house. Especially true of immigrant Germans who are related to my family and lived in New Jersey. below

Hi everyone I am doing research on the above who was the Regimental Surgeon for the 46th regiment, Infantry Volunteers (Company B) PA during the civil war. From Henry FULLERS civil war pension file, Dr. McDonough was living at one time (at least in 1882) in California, Washington County Pa, as Henry was treated by Dr. McDonough whilst serving in the war. I was hoping to find any information on this doctor if any of his journals/diaries may have been archived somewhere. Just to add some more details to Henry Fullers story. Any help most appreciated. Regards Dianna

Request the document from the state of Colorado. I did and it opened doors to the birth mother's identity.

Loretta Miller born in 1932 was adopted age 7 months in Colorado and has died at age 80. Her family would like to get her original birth certificate or find out about her birth parents. How do we start. Thank you,

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has the ability to look up an obituary or death article that is in the 1981 Palm Beach Post Florida Newspaper on page 82. Thanks very much and please reply to carola1243@aol.com
