I have a transcription of a court petition asking for a guardian to be named for children of a deceased father.  The petition appears to have been filed in mid-1802 and states that it is Westmoreland county.  The records that the county holds may or may not inclued either this date or type of record.  I have written twice to the county asking if they have the document and they have not replied.  Anyone have luck communicating with them??

First off my grandmother didn't take the McCarty name.
The McCarty's first names are John and Anna (Lindsey) McCarty.
I have some info on them from a gr grandchild of theirs but she didn't know alot.

To Mooneysearch,
Did Ruth take the McCarty name or did she stay Hageman?

To Mooneysearch,
Do you have first names on the McCarty family? I live not far from McDonald so I might be able to find something for you.

I am looking for help with people named George and Laura Hageman.
From what I know they lived in Pittsburgh during the late 1890's and had a daughter named Ruth in 1903.
Sometime around the time she was born they moved to Washington County. Midway or McDonald area.
Ruth ended up living with a family named McCarty around the age of 1.
Why I don't know. But from some info I have gotten she was an orphan by then.
I don't have much info on the Hagemans. I have a few census with a George on it but not sure if it's him. One is the 1900 from Pittsburgh showing his father as George and mother as Sarah. The other is a 1910 again city of Pittsburgh. But I don't think this is him. Someone HELP!!!!! LOL

It should have the names of the parents for both the bride and groom. Make sure you request a copy of the actual license and the license application.

Thank you so much. Do you think the marriage record will contain the names of the bride's parents?

Thanks Pam! This "Hall" line seemed to stay with the Lutheran Church - That early period, records may have belonged to the pastor? Pension application does not specfiy town, just county.
