1. Re: [PACHESTE] Girard College [1]
Debra --- I think you are right on about the list being the names of those attending the school. This is the standard way for the census takers to list institutions (including schools where students board, prisons, various types of hospitals, etc.). The census is taken based on a specific date (June 1, 1850 for 1850 --- I think) and the student should be listed where they are residing. If they were living at home on that date they would be listed at home with their parents. If they were boarding for whateve

I have finally found my "brick wall" (Jacob Wetnight) in the New London District in the 1830 Census. Can anyone tell me about any churches (Lutheran or Reformed) that were in existence in that area from 1820 to 1830. I am looking for marriage and/or baptism records. Thanks, Robert B. Wetnight

5. [PACHESTE] Cope's chester county books [1]
I'm ba-aaaaaaaack... Does anyone have a copy of Futhey and Cope's tome on Chester County families (perhaps you're using it to hold up a wall) lying around? Someone tells me that there is information about an Armstrong family in it. I don't need all the details. Just, like: so-and-so Armstrong married so-and-so on such-and-such a date at __________ and begat little, tiny Armstrongs named so-and-so. Yes, I know that some libraries own this book (or books). Just thought if someone had it at one's

HOW did you find out WHAT proofs your ancestor used on his/her application for a late birth recording or social security???? My father was born in 1896 in Delaware cnty and has a late recorded birth certificate. I have a copy of both the late recorded birth certificate and his SocSec application, neither of which was accompanied by any proofs or documentation he would have used to establish his birth date.
7. Fw: [PACHESTE] Re: One Stop Shopping ... [1]
Judy --- The paper I found stored with a family Bible (form from Bureau of Vital Statistics in Pennsylvania or whatever the government organization is called) did not have a copy of the baptism certificate with it. On one of the boxes labeled proof of birth, he had listed "Baptism Certificate from ..........". I don't have the certificate handy right now so I can't give you the exact wording. He was born in 1913. I would guess your case would be different since births prior to 1906 were handled by Chester C

9. [PACHESTE] SMITH,THOMPSON, LEWIS connection [1]
I read the recent post full of Armstrong wills, and I saw a name that looked familiar. I am a descendant of John and Elizabeth THOMPSON of West Nantmeal. I have the wills of Elizabeth THOMPSON and daughter Catherine, and one of the witnesses was a Maria LEWIS. I have never known what her connection was to the family, but now I think she may be the link between my THOMPSON and SMITH lines. Mary Anna Ross THOMPSON, daughter of John and Elizabeth, married John SMITH in 1806. John SMITH was somehow in char

16. RE: [PACHESTE] "One stop shopping for birth records" [1]
It's my understanding that it varies by county when birth registration became mandatory, if you can even say that it was mandatory. Those who didn't live near the county seat might never have gotten into town to do it! Pennsylvania started registering births in 1906, but, for example, my grandfather was born in November 1906 and PA does not have his birth record. Many counties have indices for their birth registrations that may be on microfilm. Unless someone else has a better option, I would suggest that

Hi all, I am in need of a bit of help. In an obituary from 3 Jan 1890, the place of death for Mrs. George Dallas RACINE is listed as Thurlow, PA. Does anyone know if this township was in Chester county? And was there a cemetery in the township? Thanks so much, GA in GA
19. Re: [PACHESTE] Girard College Ancestor [1]
Dori; That's exactly the information I'd be looking for from the school. If he attended the school in 1850 at age 12 and hadn't been "bound out" by then, by the time of the 1860 census he'd be 22 and out on his own. So I'm hoping the school can give me more information, including parents names. I assume that, even if he were an orphan, the school would have noted parents' names and where he was born, etc. in their files. I'd be thrilled to find him twice--I can't even find the little so-and-so on

My first question of the day:) Looking at the censuses, I see the usual tic (") marks indicating people have the same surname as the person above or born in the same state, etc. But a lot of times I also see what appears to be "do" or even "doj".

22. [PACHESTE] Elizabeth SMITH 1683 Immigrant [1]
Is anyone researching or familiar w/Elizabeth SMITH who arrived on the ship Comfort of Bristol on 26 Jun 1683. Ann SMITH and Edward BEAZER arrived on this same ship and date. There is reason to believe that Ann SMITH and Elizabeth SMITH were sisters and dtrs of Francis SMITH who later immigrated in 1685. Elizabeth would have been b: c1664 and thus just 19 years old at the time. WHO did she marry? Ann SMITH md: Robert EYRE, most likely that same year, 1683. Could Elizabeth SMITH have md: a John EYRE???

24. [PACHESTE] Girard College [1]
Mike et al, Oh, by the way...if you discover that I'm completely wrong on this Girard College census list, please let me know before I waste time pursuing that lead. Also...do you think that the reason these boys were listed this way, rather than under the name of some adult, is because they were "orphans" and under the guardianship of the college, thus the college was their "head of household"? The point I'm trying to get at is...if Ancestor A was attending college at, say, Penn, would he be coun
