PS. List #2 coming right up.
Hello all,
Elsie RITTENHOUSE through Concetta RIVAVARO.
I received it from a cousin that I've been in touch with online. We
are both researching RITTERs. In the hopes of helping others I will
transcribe this information and eventually get it on Rootsweb. But in the
mean time...if you would like to give me your family name that falls in the
above listed names...I will see if they are on the index.
The last name of the person who they were marying and the year is the
info that's available.
If I get bogged down with many requests please be patient. I will get
to you as quickly as possible.
Take care and good luck,
Ella
Hope this info helps!
I must tell you, that I searched several sites looking for the names, and
they didn't show up on an "Ask Jeeves" site. However, when I went
to Maps and Directions on AOL, this is what I found. I hope it helps, and
doesn't confuse you more....
> East smethport - McKean County
Huston - Somerset County near the West Virginia and Maryland borders. It is
just south east of Ohiopyle, which is where Frank Lloyd Wright's famous &
quot;Falling Water" home is. This was built for the Kaufman family, and
the town of Kaufman is also nearby. I am trying to research a Kaufman line,
who I have traced to Butler, PA in the late 1800's. I've been wondering if
there is any connection of the families. I'd appreciate any info on this
family.
New Haven - south of Connelsville, I believe in Greene County? or maybe in
Fayette county.
I couldn't find S. Brownville, although I found a "Brownsville" in
Fayette, Berks and Franklin Counties.
Good Luck!
Hi everyone.
If you have a bible in your possession or you know of one, lets get the
information on line. It just takes a moment and might help someone else.
Here are 3 different web sites. Send your information to all three at the
same time. That way no one site can slap a copyright on the information and
there is less chance of some large genealogy group buying up the sites and
making the info. inaccessible to people. If you have another site that would
like to have this information please let us know.
Here are the addresses:
www.biblerecords.comhttp://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/ancestors/bibles.html
The gentleman with this site says he will make a special place for the bible
records. I just took a look at this site myself and it is worth a look for
genealogical information as well:

David and Mary (Norris) Walters were my great grandparents. I can find
them in the 1880 census in Shade Gap, Huntington County, Pa, BUT they
lived in Newry (according to one sons obituary's) at the time of their
first few childrens births, I cannot find who David's parents or Mary's
parents were. If anyone can help me go further back in my Walters or
Norris family research please contact me.
Thanks.
where are these places and are they in one county of PA or what I can't find them at all
East smethport 1955 obit
Huston 1949
S Brownville 1934
New Haven 1896
these are the year in which these records are mentioned has the name changed to something else?
thanks for the help!

I have just joined your List, in hope of finding information for obtaining a
birth record for my Great Grandmother - CHARLOTTE RUMBAUGH born 1846 Pa. -
Father SOLOMON RUMBAUGH.
I have a number of records showing Charlotte was born in 1846 in PA, but not
the County. I have seen one spelling as Sharlotte.
My query is, who would hold the information on Birth Records of that year.
Or any suggestions, I would appreciate.

There is a Bible site on Roots-web for bible records, it is maintained by
Tracey St. Claire, and she contributes many bible records, here is the site,

We need to get those family bible inscriptions published. Will you share
your information? Lets make a pact and get this information on line and
available. Diaries are also a good thing to share.
If you run into a yard Sale - Look for family bibles with inscriptions.
If you hear of a book sale at a library - Check it out for family bibles with
inscriptions.
Is there a local used book store - Check it out repeatedly.
Do you have a family bible with an inscription - Lets share your information.
Then lets put them all on the web. Is there anyone out there that can start
a site to get these on line?
Sincerely,
Renee Waring

Hello Listers and Ella:
I just had a quick look at Ella's site (url above). It's a great collection
of links. I used one to look up an ancestor's occupation. So thanks a lot
Ella. Your photo is very cute too.
Cheerful Regards,
Cheryl
I would like to state my opinion about the Olive Tree web site. I find it an invaluable resource because most of the info I need is across the country where I live and I use the internet to access the info. I also help others who have no way to access the info. Thank you very much for the site.

Subject: Re: Olive Tree Genealogy
Dear Renee,
I don't own the Olive Tree site but just want to give my opinion. Sites
such as Olive Tree are very massive and very expensive to operate. Many
times, webmasters such as the webmaster of Olive Tree and myself as the
webmaster of Obituary Central have to resort to joining an affiliate program
such as Ancestry in order to help fund the maintenance of the site.
Believe me, the revenue doesn't come close to what is needed to keep these
sites up. Much of this comes out of our own pockets and the little help
from affiliate revenue keeps sites such as Olive Tree FREE for your personal
research. The Olive Tree Genealogy site is TOO valuable of a site for a
serious researcher to avoid.
Just my opinion.
Bill

Thank God!! Someone was great enough to inform me that AOL has
changed part of it's url from Hometown to user.aol. And the person doesn't
work for AOL! AOL never informed me! This is so RUDE!
I swear...I will never send another mass email again! I didn't join
all these lists to have things not go right. I really want to get my website
out there. I think that there are really good links and old pictures to be
seen by all who care to look.
I might send a mass email if it is a birth or death situation. But only to
those that would truly matter.
Here's my URL... http://user.aol.com/ella12866/index.html
Take care,
Ella
I hope this gets out to everyone that I sent the original one out to.
Hi all (again),
I see that AOL is having difficulties with their webpages. So...after
I was up all night putting my site together and after I sent another mass
email giving a shout about my site...I feel like Charlie Brown.
ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! (on my back)
Please try my site again later. I really do hope it works. If not...then
it's back to the drawing board!
thanks,
Ella
Hi everyone,
First let me say thank you for the suggestions with my filing cabinet
and the warm welcomes. None of the suggestions for the filing cabinet
worked, but I am happy with the info I received from you wonderful people out
there.
Now... I finally finished enough of my web site to send it out to the
masses. I have very old family photos there along with "My Favorite
Genealogy Links." A web page with....dah...dah....dah...dah... nothing but
genealogy links. Most of them are completely free. Only a few of them have
limited access. When it's limited access...you still get enough free info to
get you started.
Mostly all of the links are links to web pages that could be
beneficial for everyone. Other area or name specific sites would include...
Philadelphia, PA. sites and sites that cover all of PA. incl. a site:
Orphanages in PA.
Irish research sites
English research sites
German research sites
American Indian Resources
a large EAVES/EVES/EYVES surname site
a large RITTER surname site
a large KERCHER surname site
genealogy sites for children
The URL is... http://hometown.aol.com/ella12866/index.html
Good luck all,
Ella
Happy Hunting!
Surnames I am researching are:
COLEMAN, HARLING and EAVES from Lancashire, England to Phila.,PA
KIRCHER, WEIKEL and RITTER/RUTTER from Germany
BAIRD and JORDAN from Ireland
CHRISTALDI from Italy
Any variations? That's ok. I've seen a few.
Other names in my family are...
CRUMLEY/CROMLEY, HARVEY, MARKER, STEIN, STOLLIE/STOLLEY, TITTERMARY and
growing.
My family website with lots of links...
http://hometown.aol.com/ella12866/index.html
I piece together the past so my children won't be as confused
as I am.
Bill,
I have to agree with you. I don't think folks have any idea how costly it
is to maintain a website - not just the server space, but all the other
incidentals that go along with it.
Ancestry's program is one of the few genealogy based affilliate programs out
there and about the only way any of us will probably ever recoup a small
fraction of what we're spending.
Also, I don't own Olive Tree, either, so this is also just my opinion.
There's too many folks out there expecting "free" genealogy without banners
or affiliate programs. I've heard it referred to as "complaining while
they're standing in line at the free genealogy soup kitchen".....
Just my opinion.
Teri
