fadedgenes Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Also looking for any Brittons who can be traced back to Samuel or Joseph Britton, McKean County ca. 1840's. Sam came to Jefferson County, Joseph, his father, possibly died/buried in Cameron County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I don't know any Brittons, unfortunately. Have you tried FB? You'd be surprised the people you can find with social media word of mouth. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you! I have been sharing/comparing with some descendants for a long time. We are all stuck (our brick wall) with this Joseph who was born ca. 1786 in NY. He lived at Shippen, McKean County (cencus records). There is a death record in Cameron County for a Joseph about the right age in April 1870. Many have him (this family) confused with the Brittons of the Beechwoods settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fadedgenes Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I am interested in finding out if anyone has knowledge of who might have access to a records book for St. Catherine's Cemetery in DuBois. Specifically Collins and Carroll possibly in unmarked graves almost straight up from Simmons St. I ran across one of my note papers last night. Ancestor Michael Carroll obit. in Falls Creek Times, Feb. 28, 1908 states he had been a resident of FC "since there has been a town by that name." Mrs. Patrick Collins of Taylor Ave. is a sister. Funeral by Father McGivney, interment in the Catholic cemetery at DuBois. This would be St. Catherine's Cemetery, or is there another Catholic cemetery in DuBois?

claugh Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I am interested in finding out if anyone has knowledge of who might have access to a records book for St. Catherine's Cemetery in DuBois. Specifically Collins and Carroll possibly in unmarked graves almost straight up from Simmons St. Nearly all the tombstones have been added to Findagrave at http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GSln=Carroll&GSiman=1&GScid=46003&CRid=46003&pt=Saint%20Catherines%20Cemetery There is also a transcript of the cemetery records at the DuBois Area Historical Society. fadedgenes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are at least three Catholic cemeteries in DuBois. St. Joseps and St. Michaels in addition to the St. Catherines one. The churches usually have pretty good records, but that only seems true until it is the history you are looking for. fadedgenes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it may be a St. Catherine's Annex, though I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderer Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Cemetaries have so much history, this is where you can find out so much information, as many families are always near by. fadedgenes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karensjackson Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I have Bundys, Duttrys, and Collins in my tree in this area in my tree a couple of generations back. I'd be particularly interested in a Bert Hildbrand who lived near DoBois in the 1880s but moved on to Indiana County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricia Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I didn't know about the annex of St. Catherines? how many graves are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I didn't know about the annex of St. Catherines? how many graves are there? Not sure that it is an annex. I've always known it as the Oklahoma Cemetery. If there was an "annex" I'd think that it would be the little dog-leg that runs off St. Catherines cemetery from the corner of Weber down Simmons St. I know for years that part was unused but I saw recently that they've added a mausoleum or something.

claugh Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 St. Catherine's did acquire the Oklahoma Cemetery probably because they don't have much room to expand.
