Someone mentioned Lydia... I have several women ancestors who had this as a
given name I believe. I don't think it was a nickname but I'm open to
possibilities.

This is just what I was looking for in my favorites but could not find it. I
have marked it now.
My grandmother's name was Mary Eliza, nickname Lida or Lyda. Did not find
that one. I figure she was trying to say Eliza - the name she was called on
the 1870 census - and could not, so ended up as Lida. My grandfather's
second wife was Etta. I did a quick search on that and found several
choices. I plan to write for their marriage application to get her real
name. She was his second wife, not related to me by

I had called the cemetery but couldn't get any information that varified a
section to look in. The cemetery said something about there being another
Hughes (man) buried with another woman (another first name) and it said
"Wife" , so I figured it wasn't the same one.

Speaking of mis names i don't refer to them as nicknames anymore. I was
fortunate enough to find my ggrandfathers original batismal certificate along with
several of his siblings and not one of them used their given name. My
grandfather who was always know as Bert was Joseph Buchner, his sister Known as Marie
was really Mary Elizabeth, John was called Leroy, and Jane was Jean. And their
"nicknames" were what was recorded on their death certificates. It wasn't
until i turned up their batismal records d

So much as been written on this site about the color of your skin, whether
you are English, German, French, Irish or when your ancestors came to this

It's how you treat others. We can't live in the past and only can live each
day to the fullest and thank God for all of our ancestors and friends. Some

What you say about this is so true, but notice that it's
just Feb. of the year & the reason this seems to happen is
because the stone cutter it still thinking it's last year,

The views towards blacks mostlly was that they were mere possessions, and in
some minds were valued far LESS than their cattle and horses. I'm not
surprised that the Confederate Soldiers looked upon the burial of a white soldier
with black soldiers as a "punishment" back then. Even through WWI, blacks were
disregarded and their skills and heroism were ignored while they were
belittled/ignored.
As I go through the census I always wonder about all the people's lives. And
even more when I see the "M

Can anyone tell me if anything is in it with my line? My great great
grandfather, Samuel McNary Parkinson was born in Canonsburg in 1827, to Richard

Samuel had other siblings that was just listed as born in Washington Co. PA.
Richard was listed as head of household in the 1830 census in Strabane Twp.
,and in 1840 in North Strabane Twp.
