I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the SUTTON Family of Butler, PA. The first is a photograph of John & Alberta "Bertie" SUTTON which was taken at the Wagner Studio in Butler, PA. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the couple appearing to be in their 20's or 30's at the time. A note on the back indicates "John was Grandma GOULD'S cousin". The second photograph is one of Edgar SUTTON which was taken at the Godwin Studio in Butler, PA in the 1890's with Edgar appearing to be in his 20's at the time. Edgar is noted as "a cousin" and "brother of John" as well. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding the SUTTON Family: John Everett SUTTON Sr. was b. 7 Jul 1874 in Pennsylvania to parents Platt Roberson SUTTON (1842-1927) and Sarah Jane CAMPBELL (1844-1918). John was one of 7 children born to this couple including Robert Plummer; Joseph Edgar; George Willis; John Everett; Mary Ellen; Henry “Harry” Marshall or Marshal; and Edward SUTTON all born between 1866 and 1888. John married Alberta May CAMPBELL (1877-1961) in 1896 and they had 5 children including, Lula Mae; Earl E.; Ruth Irene; John Everett Jr.; and Eva Glee SUTTON all born between 1896 and 1917. John died 23 Jun 1965 in New Brighton, PA and is buried in the Concord Cemetery in Hooker, PA. Alberta May CAMPBELL was b. 4 Nov 1877 in Concord Township, Butler Co., PA to parents William Harrison CAMPBELL (1848-1917) and Elizabeth Jane CAMPBELL (1851-1928) who were married 11 Jan 1870. Alberta May was one of 5 children born to this couple including, John Palmer; Mary Etta; Alberta May; Luella; and Frank M. CAMPBELL. Alberta died 19 Sept 1961 in Concord Township, Butler Co., PA and is buried in the Concord Cemetery in Hook, PA. Joseph Edgar SUTTON was b. 18 Dec 1869 in Pennsylvania and died 20 Jan 1900 in Concord, PA and is buried in the Concord Cemetery in Hooker, PA. I am hoping to return the photographs to family. If you are a member of this family or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Baillet, Balliet, Baliet, Balyeat, Bolyard, Polyard, Polliard, Pollard, and Allied Surnames Ancestor Project
I am forming an Ancestor Project on GEDmatch for the Baillet, Balliet, Baliet, Balyeat, Bolyard, Polyard, Polliard, Pollard, and allied surnames descended from three branches of the Huguenot Baillet family. Paulus Balliet (1717-1777) emigrated from France to Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania in 1738. Joseph Balliet (1729-1804) settled in Heidelberg Township, Pennsylvania in 1749. Johannes "John" Balliet (1746-1831) with his family was the first white settler in Sugar Loaf Valley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in 1784. Descendants of this these men settled mainly in Pennsylvania and them moved westward to W. VA, OH, IN, and points beyond. DNA Test results uploaded to GEDmatch is required. This ancestor project will assist Baillet/Balliet descendants with connections or with road blocks in research of these allied surnames. There will be 100% privacy. No law enforcement. If you wish to be involved, please respond to me personally at: bailletsurname@... #Lehigh #Northampton #Luzerne #Armstrong #Clarion #Centre #Westmoreland #Venango #Butler #Northumberland Patrick Schmitt bailletsurname@... https://www.facebook.com/groups/balliet/

Early NW PA Reformed Church Records
I know this is a random message email, but I am searching for early German Reformed Church records for baptisms, marriages, communions, funerals, etc. for Nicholas Balliet (1774-1851), his wives, Stephen Amos (Balliet) Polliard (1803-1881), his wife Rachel Rhoads Polliard (1806-1867), Amos Polliard (1838 -1918), and his wife Emily Jane Myers Polliard (1843-1897) – in the Huey/Curllsville/Rimersburg/Toby Township area of NW PA now Clarion County from 1800-1850? Are early Reformed Church records available online anywhere? I understand that - "Among the early settlers in Armstrong, Clarion, and Venango Counties were immigrants from Germany and Switzerland and also those who had come from eastern Pennsylvania. A large number of these were confirmed members of the Reformed Church. Rev. John William Weber, the pioneer Reformed minister, came to Western Pennsylvania in 1783 and later was the first regular pastor of that faith in Pittsburgh. He occasionally visited the scattered members of the Reformed faith and conducted services, held communion, and baptized children. Owing to the infirmities of age, the exposure of these missionary trips was too great for him, so younger ministers were sent out, among them, Rev. Henry Koch. In the September of 1819, this young theological student from Northumberland County settled in Clarion County and began his labors. During the year 1820, the Congregations of St. Paul's Reformed in Beaver Township, St. John's near Curllsville and the Reformed church at Shannondale were all organized." These records would be invaluable to my research? Are these early Reformed Church records accessible? Thank you, Patrick Schmitt

Surnames
Welcome everyone-- As folks are joining and familiarizing themselves with the new 开云体育 platform, I wanted to welcome you. I think a good way to get start would be for everyone to identify their areas of research and post your surnames with a hashtag, so that they are searchable. Also, checkout the account profile features that allow you to personalize your individual profiles with information about your areas of interest. Post all surnames – hashtag first - with a first name along with all of the vital data that you do have. This way if any of us know, we can do the lookups. Patrick Admin

#Hashtags Feature on 开云体育 Lists
#hashtags
#Hashtags - /static/help#hashtags-1 A hashtag is a word or phrase containing no spaces prefixed with the hash character, #, not suffixed to another word or phrase. Applying hashtags to messages You "tag" a message with a hashtag by including it somewhere in the subject line of the message. For example: My name is Mark #intro Seeking #advice for a #rosebush with blackened leaves Hashtags already in use in the group can be applied to a message by selecting from the "Add Tags" dropdown menu that appears below the subject line. Or, they can simply be typed into the subject line. Typing a hashtag into a subject line will create a new hashtag for the group if it did not exist before. A new hashtag can also be created by clicking on "Create Hashtag" at the bottom of the hashtag list. A hashtag has an effect only if placed on the first message in a topic, and will be applied to all messages within the topic. (Note that although it is possible to add a hashtag to the subject of an emailed reply by editing the subject, this has no effect; the hashtag will be included in the subject line for members receiving messages via email, but will not be included in the subject line of the archived message or of any other messages within the topic.) There is a limit of five hashtags per topic. Display of hashtags in the group archive To make hashtags stand out better in the archive, any hashtags placed at the beginning or middle (rather than at the end) of a message’s subject will be duplicated at the end of the subject, using whatever background color was chosen for the hashtag. Thus, the subject of the message in the second example above would be displayed in the archive as Seeking #advice for a #rosebush with blackened leaves #advice #rosebush Uses of hashtags Hashtags have several uses within groups.io, including searching and controlling certain behaviors of topics and messages. Searching: Hashtags can be searched on to easily find all messages tagged with it. If a group uses a hashtag called #intro for new member introductions, for example, then clicking on it in the hashtag list will produce all messages in which new group members have introduced themselves. Muting: Group members who read their messages via email can click on "Mute" for any hashtag at the bottom of the email to stop receiving messages tagged with that hashtag. (Note: hashtags set to "Special" cannot be muted. See below.) Automatic time-out: If a hashtag’s Topic Duration is set, topics tagged with it will be deleted (or, if specified, locked) after that period of time. This can be a useful feature when a topic will be obsolete after a certain amount of time, for example messages about items for sale. Special notices: If a hashtag is set to Special, all messages tagged with it, including the original message in the topic and all replies, will be sent as Special Notices. Note: hashtags set to Special cannot be muted. Also, only moderators and owners can send Special Notices. If a normal subscriber replies, their message will be sent as a normal message. No Email: If a hashtag is set to No Email, all messages tagged with it will be posted to the web but not sent out as emails. Moderated: If a hashtag is set to Moderated, messages sent to topics tagged with it will require approval by a moderator. Replies Unmoderated: If a hashtag is set to Replies Unmoderated, messages in reply to topics tagged with it will be unmoderated, even if members who reply are moderated or the group itself is moderated. Locked: If a hashtag is set to Locked, topics tagged with it will be locked upon creation. Reply to: Setting the Reply to to something other than "Same as group" will override the group's reply to setting. Note: If a hashtag is set to Reply Only To Sender, all responses will go privately to the sender and not to the group; this setting overrides the group setting "Remove Other Reply Options" in a group set to Reply to Sender. Controlling use and creation of hashtags Use by moderators only: A hashtag set to Use by Mods Only can be applied to messages only by modera
