2. Re: No Phil County????? [1]
I wasn't saying there isn't; I was conjecturing, as I was told that there is no part of the area "formerly" called Phila. Co. that is not now within the city limits.

3. Re: North Wales & Gwynedd [1]
David, Seems there is an abundance of conflicting Philly area maps-- I really appreciate hearing from someone living in the area. The map I have does not show North Wales off Rt. 309 (north of Philly)-- or anywhere. You say that the Gwynedd RR station/post office/townships are not on Rt. 309-- I take it they are close together for Sarah & Daniel to have been neighbors, in comparison to Bala Cynwyd (on Rt. 23 west of Philly) At 12:34 PM 7/31/97 EDT, you wrote: >> >> At 10:11 AM 7/31/97, you wrote: >> >
4. Re: Bala Wales near Phildelphia? [1]
Sally, Appreciate the info-- but now I'm confused, which I'm hoping someone out there can clear up. Several people have told me that Bala Cynwood is a Philly suburb-- I suppose Phila. city could lie in both Phila. & Montgomery county (assuming those two counties border each other)... BTW, all this time I was pronouncing it Bala Sinwood.

5. Re: BOONE Tree, Part 3A [1]
Kerry, I am taking it upon myself to pass a portion of what you sent to me to some lists-- the part indicating that Sarah MORGAN was of Welsh stock... well, not that exactly, as I think that might have been commonly known, but the fact that her ancestors settled "a little east of the BOONEs." 'Course that places them near what is now NE Philly-- I was thinking Bala Cynwood was in West Philly. Oh well... I'm sending it to the BOONE & Philly-ROOTS lists, for obvious reasons; I,m sending it to Penna.-ROOTS
6. Re: Relative locations of Bala Cynwood, North Wales, Main Line &Gwynedd [1]
I said I had settled on Bala Cynwyd as the birthplace of Sarah MORGAN, pending info. to the contrary-- I didn't think it would come this soon... The book by Faragher says that the BOONEs came into Phila. & went almost immediately to Abington, 12 mi. north of (today's downtown) Philly, shortly thereafter going to Gwynedd 10 mi. to the northwest. Now you say North Wales is just one mi. away from Gwynedd, while Bala Cynwyd is some 20 miles away. Therefore it seems more likely that Sarah was born in North Wa
7. Bala Wales near Phildelphia? [1]
Well, I guess I didn't phrase that subject quite rght-- my question is not whether it was near Philly, but was it a formally named locale, or was it an area sometimes referred to as Bala Wales because the people living there were from Wales. Perhaps there was a placed named Bala? I do recall there is a place now named Bala Cynwood-- I believe that might be an ethnic suberb of Philly? BTW, last night I discovered and shared about several MORGANs in Schuylkill Co. where the Place of Nativity was S. Wales.
8. Re: Bala this [1]
Well, Fred, you are outvoted by some 50-to-one. It is spelled Bala Cynwyd, and once upon a time, long ago, it was part of Phila. Co., but today in effect there is no Phila. Co., as the city of Phila. encompasses all of it-- in fact, I'm not even sure there is such a place as Phila. Co. any longer.. Bala Cynwyd is now part of Montgomery Co., and has been since 1784. Now I hope you are not too irritated-- this illustrates why I distrust info. that can be found on the internet. Now I'm going to send this a

10. What's the story here? [1]
I formerly shared some citations from Elizabeth's DRINKER's diary-- I saw no suggestion that the Quaker stay in Phila. was interrupted. I spotted another diary in AD (below) in which it was indicated that at least some were exiled to Vir. during all/a portion of the Revlutionary War. Can anyone clarify this?

12. Sarah Morgan & Squire BOONE marriage in Gwynedd MM [1]
Ref. Sarah MORGAN mother of the "famous" Daniel BOONE, it's seems more reasonable that she was born & lived in the U.S. community of North Wales, since that is one mile from Gwynedd-- where it is known Squire's early family lived before they went on to Berks Co. At some point I will need to determine which, if any, of their children were born in Gwynedd. Daniel was born in Berks Co., I'm sure, but then he was the 6th child. As someone pointed out, the Daniel BOONE homestead is in Pottstown. Exactly wher
13. Relative locations of Bala Cynwood, North Wales, Main Line & Gwynedd [1]
>There is a Bala Cynwyd (pronounced Bala Kinwood)---Montgomery County, & a North Wales---Montgomery County PA. Hope this is of help. This is what someone sent me ref. location of Bala Cynwood; someone else mentioned that Bala Cynwood is a suburb of Phila.; I've also been told thatit is northwest of Phila.-- all this probably describes the same area. But that leaves me wondering if this is the approximate area that the MORGANs (the ancestors/family of Sarah MORGAN, Daniel BOONE's mother) settled in,

15. Catholic records [0.967092]
In 1880, my Schumacher/Kroener families lived at 1210 S. Warnock Street. Does anyone know where I go to ask about church records for the family. I know that they were Catholic. Daughter/Gdaughter Emma Letta Kroener was born Jan 12 1871 according to her death certificate, but Vital records says there is no certificate for a 5 year period. I written several times. Therefore, I am looking for church records from 1871 (her birth/christening) to her fathers death somewhere between 1880 and 1890. Would some

Hi, I am knew to the 'PHILLY" list and hope someone mmight be able to help me? I am researching the HENSEL family in Philadelphia. I was in Philly recently and had a rewarding genealogy journey to Laurel Hill cemetary and to several addresses of 'family homes' that were once. I was unable to find a family home on PARK St. It seems Park street does not exist as I could not find it on the map and the helpful gentleman at the Visitors Information had never heard of such a street. It was, according to the f
18. Re: Benjamin Rush house not in North Philly [0.967092]
Hi, all you Philly-roots people! I was raised in Philly, a few blocks away from the place they knocked down Ben's shack-it was on the creek. An apartment building was built near the spot. It is not even close to North phila. It is greater northeast area-some people call it Torresdale. As for knocking down houses for no reason, that's what happened to my husband's family. Shortly after moving into a new location, his dad died from the stress. The city never finished putting in the highway, not there,
19. HARLANDs and other surnames of "Olde City" [0.967092]
I'd like to communicate with anyone researching HARLANDs, especially John HARLAND, who immigrated from England and first showed up in the City in 1779, when he paid the Effective Supply tax, took an Oath of Allegiance, and joined the Militia. In 1781, he married Jane HARKER, and soon thereafter established a dry goods store on Chestnut Street. Other surnames intermarrying with his descendants include MEAD, ABBOTT, BRYAN, PEASE, TOBIAS, SLOANAKER, FLORANCE, CROWELL, VANDEGRIFT, and LEMBEKE. Howard Sp
