Lost my senses their for a bit, and realized that somehow or other I got
dropped from the Butler County mailing list. At any rate, I am back and am
offering to do census lookups for anyone who asks and gives me enough
information to find them without spending days doing it.

I have census CDs for:
1. 1850 Pennsylvania (page images included),
2. 1910 miracode indexes for Western Pennsylvania
3. 1860 federal census (index only) for the states of PA, NJ, DE, DC, and MD.
4. 1880 federal census (index only)

I also have access to do online lookups for: 1930, 1920, 1910, 1900, 1880,
1870, 1860, 1850, 1840, 1810, 1800, and 1790 censuses (page images
included); keep in mind that these take longer.

Keep in mind that the censuses done prior to 1850 only show the head of
household (no individual family member names). And, for those that are
indexed, for the most part the index is on the head of household, so if you
are looking for a family member within that household, it might take some
time to find them (depending on how many people go by the name you give me).

Also, I have quite a few Butler County references, including:
1. Vols III, IV, and V of the cemetery books
2. The 1883 and 1895 histories of Butler County
3. From the Archives of Butler County (Geibel's book),
4. All four volumes of Prospect Memories
5. The Newspapers CD
6. The Retrospective series CD on Butler County (have an extra one of
these if someone would like to buy from me)
7. The Butler High School Alumni Directory
8. 1874 Atlas of Butler County, and the surname index for it
9. 1916 Farm Directory and Reference Book
10. January 1956 Telephone Book for Butler County
11. 1938, 1939, 1940, 1943, 1946, 1963, 1964, and 1965 Magnet yearbooks
12. Butler Centennial Souvenir book
13. Butler Sesquicentennial book
14. 1796-1900 Butler County wills index
15. 1927 Magnet student publication of stories, etc. (not a yearbook)

If you want a lookup in one of these, please specify what you are looking
for, and I will take a look. If what you are looking for is there, I will
either tell you what I found (with the reference/source info), or if it is
pertinent to do so, scan the page and send the image to you. Keep in mind
that the more information you provide me with on what you are looking for,
the more likely I am to find something that you will be able to use.

Looking forward to hearing from those who are interested.

Rules for requesting lookups (please ...):
1. No more than two lookups per e-mail, so everyone who asks gets a chance.
2. Include as much information as you know already (name, status in
family, proximate age and date ranges, confirming information, general
location ... state, county, etc)
3. Include any odd spellings for names (I use soundex on CD searches, but
a couple of the online census indexes get kind of useless when you do that).
4. Allow 2-3 days (depending on the number of requests I get, this may be
higher initially).
5. Those with searches that have minimal information, or are for extremely
common names, will be done last.
6. Please don't ask for "all" of the entries for a given surname from
several or all of the censuses (or anything resembling that) it takes way
too long to do, and I really prefer not to go on fishing expeditions for
someone who may or may not be who you are looking for.
