United States of America / Re: Veteran Burials as of May, 1908 Cambria County, Pennsylvania
« on: Monday 18 August 08 15:48 BST (UK) »
Annie ;
My great grandparents moved to cambria county ,pa sometime in 1895.they met and married in huntingdon county pa in 1891.
GGM was from Ireland.GGF was born in England.His parents were from ireland.My grand dad would not admit that his father was from England-neither would other surviving brothers and sister.
Obituaries state ggf was from ireland.US cencus state he was born in england.
I believe my ggf was recruited to be a coal miner in pennsylvania while he was still in england.I do not know where or how he met my ggm or how she ended up in pennsylvania.I have found the ships that they sailed to america on!

Annie;
The book about the poorhouse/hospital named Eloise is not expensive at all. As far as ordering death certificates from the state,I am ordering certificates for my Grandfather and his youngest brother,so why not one more?
The certificates might take two or three weeks.I pick up the book tommorrow.
Now Annie, I must tell you that in researching my family history I have recieved lots of help from some very kind people in England.
