It will also attempt to connect people doing research on families buried in Beallsville Cemetery. (www.beallsvillecemetery.org) Go to the blog archives and check out "WHO ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR?" from June. You can list the family names that you are searching for and hopefully connect with others researching the same lines.

We archived those videos on our <a href="http://link.ancestry.com/u.d?EYGjKAsp9SSok_8GVlV9G=641" style="color:#566c11;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>. We covered how to find an address for your family, how to use the enumeration district maps to determine the ED of that address, and how to browse directly to the images. Please feel free to share these videos when your followers and friends ask questions.<br /> <br /> <strong>Facebook</strong><br /> The 1940 census is attracting plenty of new genealogists to our ranks. That means our Facebook page is swarming with questions and comments from new users. Please help them feel welcome. Sometimes it may seem like we are answering the same questions over and over, but remember, for these people, this is brand-new information. Be welcoming! Be encouraging! (Plus, you never know when you may discover one of them is your cousin.) Also, be sure to check the <a href="http://link.ancestry.com/u.d?VYGjKAsp9SSok_8GVlV9D=651" style="color:#566c11;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Events tab on our Facebook</a> page so you can join us for additional Livestream broadcasts and Tweetchats in the coming weeks.<br /> <br /> <strong>Sticky Notes</strong><br /> If you haven’t visited our <a href="http://link.ancestry.com/u.d?E4GjKAsp9SSok_8GVlV9M=661" style="color:#566c11;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">Sticky Notes blog</a>, we invite you to do so. We’ve posted some tips and tricks for navigating the census images. Our employees have also been posting stories about who they are looking for and who they have found in the 1940 Census. Now, we want to hear your stories and if you have pictures of the people or places you are looking for, please email them to <a href="mailto:1940stories@ancestry.com" style="color:#566c11;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">1940stories@ancestry.com</a> so we can post them to our 1940 Stories section and possibly to our interactive map, too. And if you haven’t seen the map, you’ll find it at <a href="http://link.ancestry.com/u.d?M4GjKAsp9SSok_8GVlV9J=671" style="color:#566c11;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">http://map.ancestry.com</a>.<br /> <br /> <strong>What’s Next</strong><br /> Once all images are uploaded, we’ll move the focus to creating a searchable index for all 132 million records. (FYI, this process has been underway since we picked up the images at 12:01 a.m. Monday) As soon as the first state is ready, we will let you know. In the meantime, we want to know what questions you have and what questions you are hearing from your friends and followers. Please submit them to <a href="mailto:ask@ancestry.com" style="color:#566c11;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">ask@ancestry.com</a> and put “1940 FAQ” in the subject line. Based on your questions, we will create a Frequently Asked Questions document that can be shared.<br /> <br /> Thanks for joining us on this exciting 1940 census journey! Now, try to get some sleep.<br /> <br /> Crista Cowan<br /> Community Alliance Manager, <a style="text-decoration:none;color:#333333">Ancestry.com</a>Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-56286103581770581132012-03-31T07:44:00.002-07:002012-03-31T07:45:08.118-07:00U.

Once we receive the census, we will begin uploading census images to our site so the public can browse them. Initially, this collection will be what we call a browse-only collection. This means a person can scroll through the pages of the census districts much like you would look at a microfilm or a book. At the same time, we will be working behind the scenes to create an index of the census that will eventually allow people to search for their family members by name as they currently can with all other censuses on Ancestry.com. Note also that the 1940 U.S. Federal Census will be accessible free of charge throughout 2012 on Ancestry.com.</div><div> </div>Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-65343296299223155772012-02-18T10:36:00.000-08:002012-02-18T10:37:46.280-08:00PA birth and death certificatesThe PA birth (1906 only) and death indices (1906-1961) are at <a href="http://www.portal.health.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/public_records/20686" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.portal.health.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/public_records/20686</a> Cost is only $3 to obtain a copy once you find the State File Number in the online index.<br /><br />Each index is separated by year and you can't do a keyword search, you must scroll down through each index but this is certainly a step in the right direction.Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-24720684090731713182011-04-04T16:50:00.000-07:002011-04-04T17:10:21.803-07:00The Andrew Carnegie Free Library in Carnegie, PA is the proud home to perhaps the most intact GAR Post in the nation. Long story short, the members of the Captain Thomas Espy Post left their artifacts and documents to the library. Sadly forgotten, the ceremonial room and artifacts were preserved over the years, locked away. In 2010, the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall received a donation to restore the Post to its original grandeur. This room is so unique -- as it is a snapshot of the esteemed GAR organization. Tours are free. The room is open every Saturday from 11 to 3, or by special appointment. More importantly, in terms of a genealogist, we have battlefield sketches and GAR applications online! This is a rare glimpse into the men of the Post: the men explain battles, wounds, close comrades, etc. This information is too good to keep quiet, so please help us get the word out! Below are links to different sites that provide more information about this very unique and rare national treasure. <br /><ul><br /><li>Here is a list of the veterans who were members at our Post: <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11091/1136287-506.stm">http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11091/1136287-506.stm</a> </li><br /><li>To see the GAR documents, go to <a href="http://www.carnegiecarnegie.org/espycollectionmanuscripts.html">http://www.carnegiecarnegie.org/espycollectionmanuscripts.html</a> </li><br /><li>Please visit our You Tube channel and learn more about the room! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/AndrewCarnegieFree">www.youtube.com/AndrewCarnegieFree</a> </li><br /><li>Also, we are having a sesquicentennial living history weekend.

I'm excited that I don't have to travel all the way to Washington PA to look through microfilm (I detest microfilm).

I also added about 50 more obituaries to the 730 that I had added last month. It is amazing how many of these I've been able to locate in the online newspaper database on Ancestry.com. If only they would digitize the Washington Observer Reporter newspaper, I'd be in business ! <br /><br />Another good resource for newspaper articles (and one that is free) is Google. Just go to the "news" tab and start your search. I have actually found quite a few there as well. Portions of old Pittsburgh Post Gazettes are available there. <br /><br />I haven't had much time for genealogy research or blogging lately since I've been spending as much time on the Beallsville website as I can in an effort to finish it up. Now that I have all of the tombstone photos taken, I'd like to get them posted soon. <br /><br />I have also started working on the next years of the name index. I almost have 1982 - 1984 transcribed and will be ready to add those to the indexes soon. The interment listings that I have scanned images of, stop at 1994 so there are only about 10 more years to go and that part will be completed. <br /><br />Hope all of your summer research projoects are going well. Thanks again to everyone who is sending me photos, article, obituaries, etc for the site. Keep 'em coming ! They are great additions.Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-6533228507699776772010-06-20T08:11:00.000-07:002010-06-20T08:14:56.986-07:00new name index added to the Beallsville websiteI am just getting ready to post the new name index for burials from 1975 - 1977. I haven't added any new indexes for quite a while. I still need to type up and organize the indexes from 1978 - 1994.

It keep finding things that I want to add, redo or improve on the site so it seems endless but I am making some progress. <br /><br />Hoping to take another trip to the cemetery maybe next weekend if the weather cooperates to try to get some more mapping done and photographs taken.<br /><br />Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there - enjoy the day !Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-9474747615264690442010-06-05T19:57:00.000-07:002010-06-05T20:02:37.092-07:00obituaries postedHi Everyone,<br />It has been awhile since I posted. I have discovered the Newspaper collection on Ancestry.com. I have been searching in the Morning Herald from Uniontown PA and the Charleroi Mail from Charleroi, PA. I have found almost 200 articles and obituaries connected with the people who are buried in Beallsville Cemetery. I have posted about half of them and will try to get to the other half in the next few days.<br /><br />As I've been scanning these papers that go back to 1914, I have noticed that in almost every paper there used to be at least one plane crash, many, many car crashed, mine accidents (not surprising for the Washington PA area since there were so many mines.) I guess it just never occured to me how many people used to die in these types of accidents before the advent of the safety measures we have today. Some of the stories I've found are very sad but I hope that the addition of these to the website, helps shed some light on what life was like in this area all those years ago.Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-52754727166171953422010-05-22T18:42:00.001-07:002010-05-22T18:44:10.306-07:00Washington County Veteran burial cemetery mapsI just posted about 159 maps for Washington county cemeteries that have veteran burial lists.

I started a facebook group that might make it easier to communicate than this blog. I will still post things here as well but right now since the weather has turned nice, I've switched back to working on the cemetery website. I only have two more sections to map and photograph.

I have started to post these to the website. I am also finishing up the L section (which I think is one of the largest sections of the cemetery because it seems like it is taking me forever to get that section finished !) I have over 500 new photos to post so it will take me awhile.<br /><br />Once these two sections are done I will only have 2 more to go. These are relatively small and are the newer sections of the cemetery. <br /><br />I have also started going through online newspaper collections trying to find obituaries and articles for as many people buried in Beallsville as I can. Hoping to make a few more trips down there in the next few months to finish up the mapping and the photographing so I can concnetrate on getting everything on the website.<br /><br />As a result, my blogging has suffered lately but I haven't forgotten about it. I have started a Facebook group ( the link is on the home page of the Beallsville Cemetery page (<a href="http://www.beallsvillecemetery.org/">www.beallsvillecemetery.org</a>). This blog is OK for posting things but didn't turn out to be the best vehicle for chatting and exchanging information with each other so I thought I'd try something new.

I updated the Washington County Death records Volume 2 and am up to the "S" names. I should be able to finish going through the list next week and be able to post the rest of the list soon after that.<br /><br />I also uploaded a partial interment listing for Buckingham Cemetery along with the photos that I have of some of the tombstones.<br /><br />I spent alot of time on updating existing pages in the website, making corrections, fixing broken links and connecting more of the information to individual personal pages (tombstone, interment listings, lot owner books, plotmaps, obituaries, etc) I'm hoping this makes things easier to locate. <br /><br />I still have about 200 pages of Lot Owner Book 2 to rescan and upload. I lost the original jpg files for this book ! Fortunately I had hard copies that I can rescan and load. I am blocking out addresses and phone numbers on these pages however because they are more recent and I would like to protect living people's privacy. This is taking a bit more time so progress is slow.<br /><br />Back to work tomorrow - snow days are over - even though the snow isn't over.Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-80604962980126552302010-01-15T16:28:00.000-08:002010-01-15T16:29:31.631-08:00Miranda O'Donnell obituary<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwoHcodyAJiTqV7yjL6qwZtcgD6DCxB3NGjP5wJy2eWRvjuKSbVUOvqGz9wqkge-ggSiam5Afoxx4o74gaFnFVLrysdmYR_BInoLKFOnuqOmgvnEApnpryrcMXb6ZqACH4XOH5vhbKGHo/s1600-h/ODonnell_Miranda_Obit.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 190px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427128161188304850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwoHcodyAJiTqV7yjL6qwZtcgD6DCxB3NGjP5wJy2eWRvjuKSbVUOvqGz9wqkge-ggSiam5Afoxx4o74gaFnFVLrysdmYR_BInoLKFOnuqOmgvnEApnpryrcMXb6ZqACH4XOH5vhbKGHo/s320/ODonnell_Miranda_Obit.jpg" /></a><br /><div><em>click on image to enlarge</em></div>Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-69240984214972556892010-01-15T16:26:00.000-08:002010-01-15T16:28:25.389-08:00John P.

I have been transcribing the deaths for people that are buried in the following cemeteries: Beallsville, Scenery Hill, Westland, Taylor, Buckingham, Millsboro. I have finished transcribing Volume one which covers 1893 - 1900. I have posted it to the <a href="http://www.beallsvillecemetery.org/">www.beallsvillecemetery.org</a> website under "Death Records" at the bottom of the right hand side of the main page. I'm working on Volume two and should have that done before Christmas.Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618728560485439054.post-72797615544204778132009-11-21T17:02:00.000-08:002009-11-21T17:04:22.324-08:00Back in business !!The Beallsville cemetery website is back in business !! I have completed the transfer to a public web hosting service. If anyone finds any links that were broken in the transfer please let me know. Thanks for you patience and for the emails wondering where the site was. It is nice to know that it was missed. Now back to work loading pages !!Debbie Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02289441622673180666noreply@blogger.com0
