I am interested in information about Germania. My Great Grandfather, Mathias Walter, was born n Germania in 1865. His mother's brother, Casper Neubauer, built St Germain's Church in Germania. We have a painting of an old Log cabin where the family lived, circa 1860. Anyone who has any Germania info I would love to hear from you.

I remember the first day of hunting season in the 40th and 50th, the town was full of hunters in their red wool outfits. During the following week the maple trees around the courthouse were full of hanging deer, On the corner by the red light there was a pole where the bear were hung.,and the fire escape on the Hotel Crittenden was also loaded with more deer. Homes were opened to the visiting hunters and many of my friends were up early helping serve breakfast and packing lunches for the men. The good old days

This is a great site with lots of information. I am very interested in the 'Old Hickory' house. I would like to learn more about it's story. I read that it was built in the early 1800's and also read about the Coudersport Fire. Why wasn't this house burned? People have written that only the courthouse didn't burn...I'm very curious and want to learn everything I can about the house. It has amazing architecture and, I'm sure, an amazing story. Thanks Much to all who can help!

My grandfather was Samuel Crippen and my grandmother was Edith (Crow) Crippen. I would like to find Edith's grandchildren whose mother was Willa Jensen. My mother, Betty Crippen Voorheis was Willa's half sister. Willa's daughters were Lee and Christy. Also would like to locate David Crippen who would be my first cousin. I plan to visit the Historical Society to get more info. contained there about ancestors.

Great site, wish that Wayne County had a similar one, as my Grimes and Dillon relatives once lived in Honesdale, before coming to Galeton, and I can find very little about them. Anyhow, I would like to respond a little to Chuck Johnson's query about his grandmother, Anna Meine Breunig. My grandfather was Charles Breunig, the brother of her husband Joseph. She died in Wellsboro at the age of 99, and I often visited her there, in the company of my grandmother Sophie Woelfel Breunig and my mother Gladys Breunig Grimes. She was a wonderful woman who made aprons and pillow covers well into her nineties. She apparently lived in Coudersport at the time of my birth, because Mom stayed there in the two weeks before I was born on January 29, 1939, just to make sure that bad weather wouldn't make the journey to the hospital a really harrowing experience. I would love to hear from Chuck--he must be the son of Arthur and Marie Breunig Johnson; we have lost touch with most of the recent generations of Breunigs, but I am interested in genealogy and could tell him what I know.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful site. I went to school in Shinglehouse 4th thru 6th in the old school, and started the 7th in the new (present) school(early 50s). My mother Dot Cornelius, sisters Virginia, Helen and brother Richard also went to the old school. Grandfather was Ellery Cornelius,1898-1963/68 ? who married Hazel Osborn, was the son of Amos Cornelius (1875-1944)and Katherine Owens (1882-1927),buried in Chrystal. At one time Ellery owned or managed the old Arlington hotel, had a Intl Harvester dealership, worked at the Glass Factory, and played Baseball. He later moved to a farm in Portville (WWII)and died in Georgia. Great Grandfather Amos Cornelius was the son of Gabriel Cornelius (B 1841)and Jane Green (????) of Hebron, formerly of Elmira, New York. I had/have a lot of family ties in the area but have lost touch with all but Helen. My father was James Whitcomb Riley Wood, son of William Wood, and Alice Steadman both of Oswayo, who were married in Ceres July 11, 1907 . I believe William who was a driller is buried in Oswayo. I plan on visiting this year,in an attempt to link up the missing pieces of family History. Any information on Cornelius, Wood, Steadman, Owen(s), and Osborn history would be appreciated.

Harry's sisters were Dorothy Long, Daisy Cox, and Violet Mitchell (mother of recent Coudersport Mayor Bob Mitchell).

excellent site to find information! thank you sincerely for the valuable information for genealogists and historians...and also those of us eager to know more about your county...very well organized and should be a site for other counties in Penn./Ohio/and over usa to look to as a sample to be used in their own communities and state/local history sites. Planning a trip to your area in a few weeks..

Stopping by to register my updated e-mail address. Am searching for further information on my paternal G-grandfather, Lewis A Myers -- he was a glass-blower who moved to the Roulette area sometime in the late 1880 - 1890's. He also dabbled in carpentry and woodwork & helped to build the Eimer House in Roulette; he owned a restaurant in the vicinity of River Street about 1906 (I have a clipping from the newspaper of that time telling of the sale of the building to him. He migrated West about 1911 when my dad, Milbert C. Myers (b. May 1, 1909) was about 2 yrs old. I have a newspaper clipping stating that he died in Witchita Falls, TX in 1953. He would have been nearly 100 yrs old. Hope someone can possibly shed some further light on the "years in between". Am also searching for information on my maternal grandfather's sister, Chloe Clark from N. Bingham, who married a gentleman with the last name of Grosshaun (s). I have a picture of them taken about 1900 -- they lived for some time in the village of Gold and then moved on to the Rochester, NY area -- any further information would be most welcome! Thank you !!

Nice site! My parents used to own a bit of land in Potter Cty, and we vacationed there several times a year. Had to sell the property about 10 years ago, and really miss it. I wish there were more detailed maps, though. I was very young and don't remember names of roads. I may take a trip up in the future and would like to visit the old "stomping grounds..." If anyone knows if there are detailed maps online anywhere or is very familiar with the area and would be able to help, please let me know.

I like your site. I ran across it looking for my ancestors. I had a gggrandfather on my mother's side was said to have settled in Coudersport in 1853, coming from County Kerry, Ireland. His name was John Sullivan, and his daughter Mary was my grandmother's mother. Mary's married name was Wall. I hope more people see your site, so that maybe I can find out more about my heritage.
