BAYLIN, DAVIS, DUMEZ, KEPHART, RUSNAK posted by Carolann Smith on Thursday, August 5, 1999

Searching family trees for surnames listed living in Clearfield County. My mother was Marjorie Dumez and father was James Baylin. These are my maternal and paternal families. John Baylin, Martin Baylin, Andrew Baylin; Rusnak, Joseph, Margaret Rusnak Evic, Mary, Susan Rusnak Baylin, Dumez, Alfred, Leonie, Emil, Alfretta Viola Cornelius, Virginia Soupart, Jeannie Lamont. Kephart, Joseph, Etta Mae, John, Austin, Cordie Barger, Louise, Wilbur, Laura McTaggart. Clarissa Davis. Most were in Madera, Janesville, Fernwood, Ramey, Brisbin areas. I grew up in Fernwood and went to Madera HS. Baylin and Rusnak relatives are buried in Catholic cemeteries in Ramey. Kephart/Dumez are in Brisbin cemeteries. Especially having problems getting info on Baylin/Rusnak families. Dates of deaths and births on grave markers would help.

AVERILL, BLOOM, BUTTERS, DOUGHERTY, HOLDEN, ORCUTT posted by Brian Butters on Saturday, August 7, 1999

Am searching for the parents of Franklin William BUTTERS, my greatgrandfather, b. Jan 28, 1877, d. Jan 30, 1938. I believe I have found him in the 1880 census, enumerated as a grandson of Algernon and Susanna BLOOM HOLDEN, Bloom Twp, Clearfield Co., PA. (Family oral history has given his mother's name as Mary HOLDEN.) I have learned that the HOLDEN's had a daughter Mary but that she married a Franklin ORCUTT. Susanna BLOOM's sister, Martha, lived nearby, married to Francis AVERILL -- Martha apparently had a daughter, Mary DOUGHERTY, prior to her marriage to Francis AVERILL. Martha and Mary are enumerated at Martha's parents' home in the 1860 census. Am trying to determine if either Mary HOLDEN ORCUTT or MARY DOUGHERTY (AVERILL) may be the mother of Franklin William BUTTERS. Am looking for any descendant information on the HOLDEN and AVERILL families, primarily through their daughters Mary. If additional information from me would be useful, please email -- I have many other details available. Thank you in advance, Brian Butters Gaithersburg, MD .

HEFFLER, KLIMEK, KLINK posted by Sandra Rogers on Monday, August 9, 1999

I am looking for information about my father's family. My father, Lester Dean Klimek,was born July 15, 1919 in Winburne. His parents were Emma Heffler and Fredrick (spelling?) Klimek. His father died when my dad was a small baby. What I have heard about his death was that he had gone to Cleveland to look for work, and was staying with an uncle whose last name was Klink (my understanding is that some of my grandfather's family changed the name to Klink and some to Klimek when they came to the U.S.) He became sick and died before my grandmother could be sent for. I do not know anything else about him. My dad had a brother named Kenneth and a half-brother named George Myer (spelling?). I have some information about my grandmother Emma Heffler's family, thanks to some generous relatives putting it out there on the internet. I do not know much about my grandfather, though. His last name was Klimek when my dad was born, but it was probably something else (longer) before he emmigrated from Germany. I would appreciate ANY help anyone can give me with this.

 

BAYLIN, DAVIS, DUMEZ, KEPHART, RUSNAK posted by Carolann Smith on Wednesday, August 11, 1999

Looking for any info on surnames in Clearfield Co. I have received info on Kephart, but none on others. Does anyone know of a little town once known as Almaden and does it still exist? Believe it was near Ginter. My Mother says she was born there. I'm also looking for a town possibly named Woodvale or Woodville. Supposedly one of my maternal aunts was born there, but can't locate it. Was Osceola Mills in Decatur Township and Clearfield Co? Trying to trace GR GM, Clarissa Davis who was listed in the 1850 census with parents Levi and Sarah A. Davis. .
