Brownsville, Pennsylvania help needed
« on: Monday 02 April 12 19:01 BST (UK) »
My father, William Milo Long, was born 3 Mar 1927 in Brownsville, Pennsylvania (Fayette County).  Since his passing on 22 Jun 2010 I have realized that my family has very little information relative to that portion of our family tree.

His father was Willard William Long (someplaces he is listed as William Willard Long) also from Brownsville and born around 1900.

His mother was Ara Ada Harvey from Grindstone, Pennsylvania (Fayette County) also born around 1900.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi longwm

Have you checked  https://www.familysearch.org/ which has census and some other records.

Could this be your grandfather, Willard born about 1903 and living in Brownsville, Fayette, Pennsylvania 1920 with parents ?

IF the above was the right connection, then this would be Milo with his parents in 1900 Brownsville Township, Fayette, Pennsylvania.

The WW1 Draft (poor quality)  shows Millo Edward Long. Born 28 July 1883. Resides Brownsville. Fayette. Pennsylvania. Stout, brown eyes, brown hair and no distinguishing marks . Dated September 1918. Sorry couldn't read much else.

Looks as if Milo died between 1920 - 1930 Census. The 1930 Census shows Amelia (wife of Milo) widowed still living Brownsville, Fayette, Pennsylvania)

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XHSB-MGX

Adelaide Twigg on the above Census was a daughter of Milo and Amelia - sister to Williard.
