Hi Robert, I was seaching for a death record of Jean White Vance, wife of Capt. Robert Vance and came upon your name. Are you a decendant of Capt. Robert Vance who died in Montours Pa. 1818 ? If so, do you have any information that might be helpful in documenting his childern. I have been trying to document his 9th child William James Vance, from whom I am decended. Appreciate any help.

Bonnie,
I just want to pat you on the back, and say, "Great Job!" I am also an obituary transcriber, and this particular obituary is the brother of my grandfather, Ross Leon Urie Sr. on my mother's side of the family.
Again thanks!!! Vicki L. Goff
Bonnie,
Are you related to Margaret (MCKNIGHT) Reed?
I'm looking for info on her first husband Edward Carl McKnight and his parents Joseph and Lillian McKnight
Do you have any information on the other sons of James and Nancy Elliott Morrow? I think one of them is my
ggg-grandfather. Possibly, James. His children would have been Charles b. 1879/1880 (My grandfather), Avery, Henry, Stonewall Jackson, James Gordon, Ivy (Married a Kincaid), daughter (Married a Martinat), daughter (Married a Rader). Moved to North Carolina at sometimeduring this period of time. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.
Edna Mary Douglas and George Oliver Wolf were my great grandparents. They actually lived in Negley, Ohio. I am just starting my research on the Douglas line, but I have all of the information on their children, grandchildren,etc. Would love to share.

Dear List Members,
Bonnie Ryan is a volunteer who types the Hancock & Brooke County Obits from
our local paper. Her name is used when posting the obituaries to the
boards, as she deserves the credit for her work. She does not subscribe to
the list (I forward messages addressed to her) and she is not related to
the persons who she posts the obituaries for. Sorry for any confusion or
inconvenience.
Best Wishes,
Jan Waite
