Hi, Connie,
My Grandparents were:
Samuel Skivington, b. Tyrone County, Ireland
M. Rebecca Kennedy - 9/14/1880, Shenandoah, PA
Their Children were:
Anna Alexandria, b. 5/7/1882, Shenandoah, PA
William Arthur, b. 8/20/1884, Gilberton, PA
Helen Zimmerman Skivington, b. 12/19 1886, d. 8/18/1887
b. Gilberton, PA
Beatrice Victoria, b. 10/3/1888, Gilberton, PA
Garnet John Woolsley Skivington, b. 2/19/1891, Reynoldsville, PA
Alexander Kennedy Skivington, b. 5/15/1893, DuBois, PA
Samuel Herbert, b. 5/28/1895, Dubois, PA, d. 11/1905
Alexander was my father.
The family moved to Niagara Falls, NY around 1900, but I'm not
certain that the grandparents also left PA. All of the surviving
Children ended up in Niagara Falls.
Samuel died 3/13/1903, and Rebecca died 5/24/1904. I do not
know where they died or where they were buried.
I did locate my grandfather's citizen records, and also those of
the person who stood up with him at his wedding, a brother?...
cousin? There was no further mention made of him after the wedding,
except during my childhood I recall ocasiona mention of a long-lost
uncle or great uncle. Perhaps he moved to California, or somewhere
in the west.
Now you know the rest of the story!
Bye, Bill Skivington

Bill,
Can you give me anymore information? Your grandparents names?
Any childrens names? Did they remain in Pennsylvania and would they have
appeared on the 1910 census?
Also, my grandmother's father was a Kennedy; my grandmother married a
Zimmerman. Her family was from Juniata county then moved to Clearfield
county. My grandfather Zimmerman's family lived in Clearfield county
prior
to the 1900 census but we are not sure when they came or where they
came
from. That mystery will be solved as soon as I receive my
g.g.grandfathers
death certificate.
I have most of the records from the courthouse as to births and deaths and
some marriages prior to 1905 which is before records were kept on a
statewide basis.
I will look for anything in the DuBois area, I think Troutville is near
there and I just put out some death information which included two
infants,
one with the parents names.
Good luck with your research and I will be happy to help you any way that
I
can.
Connie
