Margaret Jean Ochiltree Swartz, d. 1928,  was the Grandmother of Margaret Jane (Swartz) Langley, d. 1997. So, yes, it is her Grandmother. Thank you for looking.

Hello,
Looking for a birth record (civil or religious) for Margaret Jane Swartz, b. June 10, 1914 near the Natural Bridge, Virginia, in Rockbridge County, Virginia. It hasn't shown up in the normal collections because Virginia may have started collecting data later, so it may show in a revised collection at ancestry or something. Also, she may have been Presbyterian (like her Grandma Margaret Ochiltree Swartz) or something similar. Many of her siblings show up in revised civil records at ancestry, so maybe it is a spelling issue. Need help!

From the newspaper artcile, I see he is at the Boxer Rebellion in Pekin, China in 1900 and army of occupation in Cuba from 1898-99. Where do you see Cuba in 1900?

US Lookup Requests / Stuart Gatewood Gibboney (1877-1944)
« on: Sunday 10 November 24 23:31 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for any info on my cousin Stuart Gatewood Gibboney (1877-1944), who enlisted in the U.S. Army on June 27, 1898 at Washington Barracks, D.C. and then served in the Hospital Corps as a Hospital Steward in Manila, Phillipines, until the expiration of his service on June 26, 1901. His civilian occupation had been 'Pharmacist' and he was from Wytheville, Virginia. It appears he was a Veteran of the Spanish-American War but it also looks like he may have served during the Philippine Insurrection as well.
    Specifically looking for his rank and any other proof of his service.
    Much Obliged,
    Brian

  Hello,
  Looking for Mormon Church Records for my ancestor Talmage Edward Dawson (1894/5-1974) of Kansas. He grew up and traveled quite a bit around Kansas, but try Salina or Concordia or Topeka for starters.
   Thank you for any assistance,

Hello,
Looking for WWII Info on four of my Swartz Granduncles who fought in WWII (beyond what is at FS sources or ACPL Genealogy). Perhaps there is something new in fold 3 or division histories, etc. Here they are:
1) Sgt. Joseph Gibboney Swartz (1910-1975), U.S. Army. Looking to determine his theatre of operations/unit, etc.
2) Lt Col. Carlyle Ochiltree Swartz (1918-1996), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He fought in Europe, trying to determine unit, corps, medals, etc.- also served in Korean Conflict.
3) RM2 Paul Rudolph Swartz (1919-1943), U.S. Navy. Buried at Sea. Served aboard Dutch freighter MS Sommelsdyk, when he died near New Caledonia from illness.
4) Maj. Francis Aubrey Swartz (USAF Ret.) (1924-1996). Before his Korean Conflict service with the Air Force, he was an enlisted U.S. Marine Aviator in China during WWII. This latter part has been difficult to document.
   Thank you for all your kind help!

US Lookup Requests / Re: Louisa Burrows (1832-1874)

I have little doubt Louisa's maiden name was Burris. What I could use is parental info of any kind on Louisa Burris and any relevant Immigrant/Naturalization info. If her children's info helps with that, then I suppose you can send that along too.
   Once again, thanks so much!
