Comment by Larry R. Bish on July 31, 2009 at 2:27pm: Steve Bonnell, I have one Bonnell in the family in Erie County, Married to a cousin of mine in Lundy's Lane by the name of Genevieve Martin. I do not have his first name. Does this connect with you perhaps?

Comment by Georgina Louise Adams on July 29, 2009 at 4:27pm: Hi, I am looking for Kelsey, Ralph, Over to start. My grandfather is Karl D Kelsey from Beaver County, he has been listed as from the towns of Ohio, Glasgow and Smith's Ferry. Ralph is his mother's maiden name and Over is a cousin's. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by Ellen Healy on July 29, 2009 at 4:12pm: Hi, folks. Sorry if I am cross-referencing, but I also post on the Smith page. My ancestors were from Northampton Co, Lower Mt.Bethel, Martin's Creek. And believe it or not, we have a Smith who married a Smith -not related! My cousin Jodee has researched back to Stephen Smith marrying Mary Anne Smith in 1859. Where we need more help is locating more on their parents. Stephen's parent were Edward K.Smith, born@1811 in Still Valley, NJ, and Mary Anne Reaser, born @1812, PA(?). Mary Anne Smith Smith's parents were Simon Smith, b@1813, and Caroline Frey, b.@1820- we think they were both born in Pennsylvania. Mary Anne Smith Smith and Stephen Smith,both born 1837, had 16 children. Lots of little Smiths! So , we have censuses, and pension records, and we are busy trying to fill in with info on all the children, too.

Comment by NayNay on July 29, 2009 at 8:31am: Hi Folks, my great great great grandfather was born in PA. They were there in the late 1700's. T'he church in which he was baptised in is still standing. There are two churches that are affiliated. St.Joseph/St.Mary's. His godparents were by the last name McDermott. My ancestors in PA go by the names of George Washington Abrams, Lemuel Abrams, John Abrams, Mary Olden, amongst other names that I can remember. I know they traveled often to Havana, Cuba, St.Thomas, and Puerto Rico.
