Thanks. I'll contact him. Maybe he will have a good source on the Goodwin name in the south.

Pennsylvania Death Certificate Index

Here is a link to the PA Death Cert Index. Not the actual death certificates but an index sort of to them. The early ones are pretty straight forward. I had trouble with the 1946 index. But for what its worth here it is just to whet your appetite.http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=1085804&mode=2 See More

Thanks Jom, I don't have any Beedles in Vermont that I know about. I have 437 in other places. I also have a 19 Averys but they are all in England.

A group for anyone researching the Avery families. Perhaps by pooling our information we can break down our brickwalls

Hi Jim, my Brodericks are from Clare, the opposite side of the country. I would think it's a more common name around Clare than Wicklow, perhaps some of the strayed eastward.

Looks like we both have the same sir-names in our genealogy "Byerly, Stenger, Greenawalt" How much research have you done on any of the three?? Don

Maybe I missed something, but how did you know I was an O"Hara? I do use it a lot as my middle name, duh.

Jim, thanks for the update on the PA records at Ancestry for the DAR Genwise chat room. I had only glanced at it and did not have the particulars. Yes I am a member of several of these sites on here, the DAR, Mayflower, and KY, but have little time…

I don't have a George Colby out of NH listed yet but I do have a George K. Colby out of Maine. Most of who I am adding to my tree on my website, seem to have ended up in Wicasset County. I am not familiar with the area. I have so many Colby branches listed and so many more I can't wait to find!! :) I would love to find family on here. It's something I look forward to on a daily basis.

I had only glanced at it and did not have the particulars. Yes I am a member of several of these sites on here, the DAR, Mayflower, and KY, but have little time to check them out.

I am Registrar for our DAR chapter and Registrar for our Colonial Dames 17C chapter and it is keeping me busy. We are gearing up for the March meetings and conferences. Colonial Dames papers are lots more work than the DAR papers, takes them back about three or four gens. More sources to get.

Also involved in a research project to identify the crews of the B-17's of the 92nd Bomber Group of WWII. Love it.

My O'Hara's connect to Gen James O'Hara, Rev War, one of tthe early founders of Pittsburgh, when he was at Ft. Pitt. He had the second glass factory there in Pittsburgh and was the Quartermaster Gen under Washington. I am not his direct line, and we have not found documentation but believe I descend from his brother in South Carolina. More work to do but my genealogy takes a back seat to all the others.
