I need some help with Blair County, PA obituaries. I am looking for information about Leo Hryn (Renyck or Hyrn). He is living in Altoona in the 1920 census as "Leo Rynik (or Rynes)", age 18. He is on a Baltimore passenget list as "Leon Hryn". I have no record of him other that those. I would like to know when he died. He is possibly buried at Sts Peter and Paul cenetery, Altoona, Blair county. Thanks for the help.

Hi Stephanie-
what do you know about George Harmon? He is of the age that would have fought in the War of 181, do you know if he was in the war? Who was he married to and when did he die?

If you'd like to start a discussion that will make it easier to keep track of information that may be found for you-
Comment by Stephanie Kelly on August 22, 2009 at 2:48pm
My Bortner line is my direct line starting with Margaret Bortner (3rd Great Grandmother) who was the daughter of a Micheal Bortner. George Harmon(4th Great Grandfather) b. 7 Jan 1787 buried at Lower Burmudian Cemetery, Adams Co, PA is the main line that I am trying to research is my Harmon line and there is not that much on them. I have an Ancestry.com membership, but it is getting ready to end do to cost. I also am wanting to get the acutal documents not just the extracts or transcriptes.
Comment by Barbara Marie Graser on August 22, 2009 at 2:45pm
I forgot, google Lewis Bortner and you will find the line you want. I just did that to find a Bortner and found some.
Comment by Barbara Marie Graser on August 22, 2009 at 2:42pm
If you look in ancestry.com and put the name of the Bortner(I put Lewis in born in 1894)you are looking for, you will get a long list for the bortners. I am related to them through Augusta Graser Bortner. Most of the Bortners are buried in Schaefferstown Cemetery in Codorus Township, York County, PA. Most of the Bortners are from York but you will find alot on the ones in Adams County. I wish I could give you more but I deleted most of the Bortners from my tree because they were so far down on my family tree. Rootsweb also has somethings on line. Good luck!

I am looking for anyone that is in the Adams County, PA area and would be willing to attempt to assist me in research of my Harmon/Bortner line (1790's-1853)
Comment by Barbara Marie Graser on August 21, 2009 at 4:20pm
I am looking for Grasser, Musser from York, PA. My g-grandfather(Frank Graser) came from Germany and my g-grandmother (Mary Musser)was from Hellam, PA. They went down and settled in Frederick, Md. I am interested in finding anything on Frank Grasers family in Germany. Am I on the right group for this?

In 1860, my ancestor Charles Martin worked on the Farm of Obed Bailey in Lancaster County. If there are any Bailey researchers out there, I would like to exchange information.
