QUARRY LANDSLIDE CAUSES 13 DEATHS
A landslide in the limestone quarry of Mill A, of the Lehigh Portland Cement Campany, at Ormrod, on Wednesday afternoon, caused the death of thirteen or more men and many others were injured. The men were all foreigners, most of them Slavs, having their families in Austria. The quarry in which the accident occurred was opened five years ago. It is now a great hole 1000 feet long, 1

Of the 6 children in my father's family, only the births of the 2 youngest
were reported. They were they only ones born in a hospital and that was 1917
and 1919. My father's cousin was a premie twin who wasn't expected to live. His
twin's birth was reported but his wasn't. (He just died at the age of 88.)
In NYC, by the way, midwives were not required to report births at the
beginning of the 20th century.

Does anyone know if the above church has old church records dating back to
the very early 1800's? If so, are the records open to the public?
Thanks.

The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania also offers Heritage Quest as part
of their membership. Heritage Quest doesn't offer family trees like Ancestry
does, but it offers access to databases for periodicals, the Revolutionary
War, and federal census records. I've only used Heritage Quest for census
records, so I can't say how useful the other area are. However, I've found it
very useful for tracking individuals via census records. Most years are
indexed, although I've found errors in the w

I live in SE Ohio.
Bodily I am not able to be out of the house that much. I am partially
disabled. The closest FHC center is about 50 miles from me. I have not
drove for about 5 months and going out town driving is out of the
question. Most people I know that could take me when it is open are
working. I feel like that I am between a rock and a hard place.

Unlike marriages and deaths, births were reported whenever the doctor got
around to it. Thus, a June birth could have been reported many months later, or
not at all if this was not the doctor's way of doing things, or not at all if
the child was not expected to live, or probably not if the birth was
attended by a midwife. Frustrating, but true.

My question:
They ask for a driver's license with one's CURRENT address. Will they
reject a request if my mailing address (a p.o. box in a neighboring
state) is different from the address on my driver's license?
Thanks.

Thanks, Merle. The family was Lutheran. I plan to go to Philadelphia soon
and will look there. What is FHL?
Thanks again!

Debbie,
Thank's so much for looking, I have William's in my Wetherill line in
Philadelphia along with Wilson's. I also have a Samuel R. Wetherill b. 1792
married to Mary Wilson in 1821 in Burlington, NJ. Have you tried the spelling
Wetherill or Wetherell for the census? The phonetic spelling for Wetherill is
Weatherall ... I got that all the time growing up.

Yes. They will reject your request. This happened to me last month. My
driver's license is from one state and I was in another state and wanted the
records sent to a P.O. box in the 2nd state. They sent everything back to me. This
is due to their desire to avoid identity theft.

Hi,
I reviewed a few books from 37 to 38 from GPH. I reviewed them at the Philly
Archives. I don't recall the exact contents but it's a worthwhile start to
check the Philly archives.

No, I'm sorry I don't have any other info on William Weatherall. I can't
