It was a wonderful trip except for the RV which chose to let everything go wrong that was possible. Saw Lena French Fuller at the courthouse and Linda Varney was at the library. When I arrived, it was fall and a couple of days later winter arrived with very high winds and snow flurries in Edinburg and Strasburg. We stayed at Creekside Campground in Edinburg which is almost within spitting distance of the library. Beautiful little campground! I got a lot of tombstone pictures for Bethel Lutheran Cemetery in Hamburg. Don will add those when he has the time. I took several pictures of the Dodson land (Jacob Dodson m. Elizabeth Craig, son of Peter Dodson) located on Dodson Road in Conicville. Those will be added to the site later. I was fortunate enough to meet four new Dodson cousins in person that I had met online, Betty Hines, John Dodson, Jack Dodson, Jane Dodson Perry. The first updates I'm making are marriage certificates. All are from the 1860's. I copied them at random but made sure I got Miller for Michael Miller who spent so much of his time on the Hottel book update (Charles line) and I found a Lambert for Rick Monroe; Grim and Lutz for my dearest and best friend since age 13, Lynnie Sager; Silvious for guess who (first name is Don); and of course, Zimmer for myself (2nd marriage for Simon Peter Zimmer). The marriages listed below are on the site now. Many more will be added today and tomorrow...Kendall, McDonald, Stover, Bly, O'Brian, Kilby, Ruby, Artz (for Jim), McInturff, Funkhouser, Funk, Snapp, more of Miller, more of Overholtzer/Overholser, Grove, Coff, Sheetz, Sine, Weatherholtz, and others. Oh! I also copied the missing pages of Daniel Bly's book on indentures and guardianships. Those will be added after I make sure I still have permission to put those on the site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vashenan/mc_shenco.html JUST ADDED: Bly, David H & Wetzell, Leah - 1861 Fravel, David & Supinger, Louisa - 1860 Grim, James & Flemings, Catharine - 1860 Grim, William & Smootz, Barbara - 1861 Haun, John & Cline, Mary Jane - 1862 Lambert, Joseph & Foltz, Barbara Ann - 1864 Miller, William D & Miller, Catharine - 1864 Miller, James & Miller, Sarah Carolina - 1865 Silvious, Isaac & Grabill, Mary - 1860 Zimmer, Simon Peter & Ridenour, Edith - 1861 Zirkle, James A & Lutz, Louisa - 1865 You might wish to hit refresh often on the marriage page as I'll be adding more today if I have some free time.
