Was wondering if anyone could help me with my brick wall? My great grandfather, David Thomas Lloyd was born 23 May 1862 in PA. That is all I can find out. His mother and father were born in Wales and so far have not found when they came to the US. David had one brother born in MD, there were five children born in PA and three in OH. His father was Thomas B. Lloyd, born about 1826. I understand he was a coal miner. If anyone could help me I would be so grateful. This was a brick wall that also bothered my sister. She died in  2006 and I have since taken over trying to complete this family tree on my mother's side. She will never know as she has Alzheimers but I want to finish this for my brother and two remaining sisters.

Hi, I'm new to this group and relatively new to genealogy research.  My family is a several generations Pittsburgh family.  The surnames I'm researching are McBeth, Thompson, Snyder, Bennett, Serena, Dias, Rosser, Ensell, Custard, Lips, and Sirtoski.  (Mostly in Allegheny County, but a bit in Westmoreland County as well).  Do I have any cousins in this group?

Looking for information on Sarilda Whitehill, born March 1838 in Helen, Clarion County, Pa. Father was one of the many David Whitehill - mother was a Rebecca Fulton.  She married Solomon Raifsnyder in/about 1860.  Thanks for any info.

Hi Katherine, I have been researching for several years and cannot find the parents of Peter REAM. My Peter REAM was married to Anna Catherine Zeller. I can't find positive proof yet. To my knowledge Abraham REAM and Elizabeth Neidig are not his parents, can't find proof.

Re. Peter Ream..Was his father Abraham Ream and mother Elizabeth Neidig?
