Comment by Katie Heitert Wilkinson on August 20, 2009 at 4:47pm: Hi, everyone - I'm looking for information on decendants of MICHAEL NALLY (b: 1865-1896) in County Mayo, Ireland. He settled in Pittsburgh. Am also looking for descendants of his niece
BRIDGET "DELIA" NALLY LAVERY (b. abt. 1886 in County Mayo, Ireland; d: 1930 in Philadelphia). Several of the Lavery girls married names are WALZ and STRAIN. I think I've exhausted everything Ancestry has on line as well as WorldVital Records and ObitArchive. Can anyone point me in a new direction? I'd be grateful.

Katie

Comment by Anita Wills on August 20, 2009 at 2:43pm: My Martin and Page families run deep in Pennsylvania. They were the Natives who inhabited the Great Valley (now the Delaware Valley). They resided around the Pequea Valley (now in Lancaster County), and Octorara. The Natives intermarried with White Indian Traders who resided in the area, and with African Americans. They became the Tri-Racial Isolates in the Region Known as the Welsh Mountains.

Although I now reside in California relatives continue to live throughout Pennsylvania.

Comment by Dolores Wolfe on August 15, 2009 at 8:28pm: The Clewell family was a prominent Moravian family in Bethlehem, PA I stayed in Clewell Hall at Moravian College and my math teacher was Prof. Clewell. The Central Moravian Church probably has records.

Comment by Richard Heckman on August 14, 2009 at 9:57pm: If anyone is looking for information about the Clewell family who landed in America on 5 October, 1737 and settled just north of Nazareth, Northampton County, PA, I have tons of information. Other associated spellings: CLAVELL, CLAWELL, CLAYWELL, CLAVELT, KLEWELL.

Comment by Thomas Kanagie on August 14, 2009 at 8:31pm: Hi, just wanted to let you know that I have several genealogies that I would be willing to do look-ups in. Jacob Hochstedler, Barbara Hochstedler, Hertzler-Hartzler, The Brennemans, John J. Darr, Christian Gnaegi/Gnagey, Peachey-Beachey. Also have the 3 volume set of German Pioneers - ships lists to Philadelphia for 1727 to 1805. I hope this might be helpful. Tom K.

Comment by Kate Steere on August 12, 2009 at 10:56am: Hi Shirley-
If you add a discussion with the information you already have, that would it easier to track the replies. :)

Have you tried Newspaper Archive.com, they do three free dowloads of the free articles they carry, and they do have the Chester Times.
