    Well in 1870 Julius would nearly be grown up, wouldn't he, or thought of as grown up in those days anyway. Did you see Abraham and Frances there? Thanks for all your help.

    Hi Lisa, I have a book called "Our Maryland Heritage" Book Seventeen The Mullinix Families. By William N. Hurley, Jr. I am not sure if they are in my Family. I just went through 2 boxes of genealogy papers and floders. Boy, do I need to get them in order.
    Take care. Kay

    Lisa, I feel any tiny lead will help in so many ways! I look on the possitive side we did not find anything but that means there is NOT information out there on my rellies that is incorrect or misleading too! Any suggestions are always welcome! Thank you!

    Lisa, just a quick note to thank you for posting the GeneaNet website info. I tried it and found info I had been looking for!

  • Carol Rombach Teeman

    Thanks! I joined Ancestry years ago but am always looking for the free websites. My seatch is basically in Pennsylvania (Allegheny Co.) and in Ohio (Stark Co.) so if you happen to know any sites for those areas, I'd appreciate the info. I was only able to check on GeneaNet for about a half hour before I went to work but plan to go back because I did see info I could use. Thanks again!

    Hi Lisa, Like you said, I have a lot of information on these surnames. My problem
    is that I have many Dandurand and Marcheterre's on paper. The young people that I speak of are not added to my tree, because it is very hard to find a merge
    point to the families.

  • Robert O. LaBonte Sr.

    Hi Robert,
    Thanks for the family line you are interested in. It seems most of this surname has been well researched. So, let's try again, what kind of information is it that you seek? I have no idea what information you ALREADY have or what you would LIKE TO HAVE. I'm pretty sure that you've done alot of looking online as I've seen your name and querires show up in search results. If you will give me a clue as to what kind of information you are seeking, I will gladly try to help. OK?

    Oct 10, 2009

  • Robert O. LaBonte Sr.

    I have a big job gathering the info that you want about the young ones.
    I'll be back a-cha.

    Hay Lisa, Just like to thank you for all of your help. I now know because of you that my grandmother real mother was not Olive B. Davidson but Josephine Parker. Josephine died when my grandmother was every young, that's why she put down Olive as her mother. Again, Thank you. I still don't understand the Murray . My sister said granny was married before she married Grover H. Rickman for a short time. But I can't find it. There wasn't any children from the first marreig.

    Hi thanks, Bridget immigrated here in 1889 according to one census, her son was born in 1893. Edward Bernard, WW2 registration says Edward Patrick Bernard all the records from 1900on say she was a widow. I am trying to find out where and when she lived with her husband Bernard. we know it was before 1893 so he had to die between 1893 and 1900 because the 1900 census had her in Pittsburgh with 7 year old son edward and she was listed as a widow then.
