Carol,
Did you get his death cert? If not, that will tell you where he is buried. It also can
tell you where he was born. Sometimes it only says the state and other times it tells
county or city. You can even learn more about his parents. You never know what will show
up on them. Also, did you get a copy of his obit? If not, again, go after it. Usually
you can contact the county library where he lived and/or died to get that.
Next would be his RR employment records. The veterans records will also be able to give
you more details. Did the Marriage License and Certificate give you details on
George's parents. If you don't have that, that is another location - some of the
marriage licenses are loaded with details. Good luck. meg

Does anyone have any info on this PETTIGREW family? My father, Carl,
was born in 1934 in Studa, Washington County, the son of George Pettigrew and Gladys
Gilbert. Gladys is from Juniata County, and I have lots of info on her. Can't find
info on George. He worked for the PA Railroad and moved a lot. Places that he lived were
Burnham, Lewistown, Graterford, Reading. He died May 1958 in a veteran's hospital in
Butler. Don't know where he was from. He & Gladys married in WV, and his parents
were George Pettigrew & Mary Ferry. As a child George also attended school in
Stoneboro. He was probably buried in or near Butler County. We have lived in Berks County
for all of my life.
