I access Heritage Quest through my local library, using my library card as
access. I don't know if all libraries subscribe, but many do; that's how most
folk I know here in CT get access.

I search HQ from local Carnegie Library---last year I learned how they do
it in Ohio--from home---sent several e-mails to Library Personnel and all I
received was--- it is to expensive and they MAY try to do it this year--so
far--O
Perhaps if more of us in Allegheny Co started an e-mail barrage maybe it
might get the ball rolling

I cannot see any manifest. If you go to a public library you can search
Charlotte Fischer and you will see what I have sent. There is a link you
can see below that says "Search Ship Database: Search the Manon in the
Passenger Ships and Images database but when I go there is says no record
found.
The only thing I could send is a printout of the passenger list and you can
see it written out.

Could he have been married previous to this

time of this marriage.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks so much

Awhile back some old pictures were sent out on this website. There was one with a fellow on a horse with a group of men. His name was James Bracy Oliver. At the time I figured he wasn't one of my family members. I think he might have been and need a copy of that old picture for myself and another relative. Is it possible to get it sent back? If so thank you

If anyone has Archeological aspirations or connections, there was a train
wreck in the 1920s (give or take a decade)on the banks of the Susquehanna
River just south of the West and North Branch convergence in Shamokin Dam
where the RR made a 90 degree turn to go over the River to Sunbury, PA on
the other side.
Well it seems one Engineer running late was going a little to fast for the
curve. Some of the train went into the old Canal mud, the locomotive was
sucked into the mud due to its weight. The box cars
Searching for genealogical data on Joseph Norris, Sr. (11 Jan 1728
Sharpsville, Price George Co; now Washington co., MD) to Huntingdon Co., PA about
1750. He was married to Jane Moody b. 1730 Wales, d. 1817 Huntingdon Co., PA.
I need any documentation that Joseph Norris provided service during the
Colonial period (pre 1776) so that proof may be established for membership in
Daughters of the American Colonists.
I will appreciate gratefully any help.

I have No idea about Heritage Quest, some
have said that you can use heritage quest at
your local library with your library card if they
have it, if not your local LDS branch library may
have access to it. Thanks for asking/
Coleen, I checked Heritage Quest with my library card and could not find any listing of your person on any 1800, 1910, or 1820 census record. You might go to Rootsweb.com and enter the name in the inquiry section and see if some one replies. Another place to look is familysearch.org. These also have been a help for me.
I have had some results listing the name on Google or Yahoo. Keep trying.

I tried one more thing...2 men are reported as HOH in the 1830 census report
for German, Fayette Co. PA with the name of Jacob Mack. Also, in the same
census report year (1830) a variety of families show up in various places in
PA with names like Grawl (mostly Graul...but other variations as well).
The names reported in the early censuses often were spelled differently from
census to census. This obviously creates annoying difficulties when trying
to do research.
Good Luck...drew

Just one more bit about Heritage Quest -- beside the ability to use it from home with your library card, many of the NARA offices used to (I haven't been there in awhile now) had it on-site.B I found it was extremely useful to be able to look things up on HQ, and then go to the Archives resources right there as a cross-reference tool.B If you have a regional office of the National Archives, it's helpful to check on what resources they have available, as well.

Many libraries now have "Remote Access" set up for their Heritage membership and
all you need is your library card number to sign on. HeritageQuest is now
only available to libraries and historical societies - no more private
membership.

A James Mack of the appropriate age shows up in the 1830 census for Henry
Clay Township, Fayette Co. PA. So, perhaps you want to concentrate your
search for his parents in this Twp. and Co.
James (apparently the same man based on his reported age) subsequently shows
up in the 1840 and 1850 census report for Jasper, IN. He doesn't seem to
show up again, so he probably died before 1860. You might want to see if
any churches in Jasper have a record of his death. Further, their might be
a record of a will,
