Hi David ! Saw your name on this site, and thought (hope !) you can help a desperate woman ! A desperate dead-end woman. If your generosity extends to me, I would be extremely grateful for your time and effort. Evidently you have a "burial list" for Shamokin Cemetery, and I would very much appreciate it if you would look for my Great-Great-Grandparents who lived/died in Shamokin, PA.

ELIZABETH BAIRD -She was 80 years old in 1901 and couldn't have lived much longer than that. Born about 1827/Scotland. I would ask for her husband as well, but I have no idea what his first name was. And,

ANDREW REID - Elizabeth's lst husband/my Great-Grandfather. He may have died in Sterlingshire, Scotland and is buried there, but we kind of think he made it to the U.S. with Elizabeth sometime after 1847, settled in Shamokin, and may be buried there.

I have no idea when Elizabeth Reid became Mrs. Baird. Perhaps all three of them are in Shamokin Cemetery.

ANY information at all would be such a prize - these are really BIG pieces missing from my puzzle !

Thanks !
