Grandfather’s memo says one of George Allen and Rose Irwin’s daughters married a Corbett, and lived at Reynoldsville Pennsylvania. Here’s an 1880s photo from Reynoldsville, “From the Family Album of Thomas and Julianna Reynolds, founders of Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania.”

As for which daughter? That has to be Isabella. The census shows John H. and Isabel Corbett living in Jefferson County 1880. He was a dry goods merchant.

Dear Eugene, Wayne, and Mary Louise, and respective Families:
The time may come when you or your children will want to know about the ancestry along the Barnard line. I would suggest that you keep this family tree against such a day.

Are you looking for a specific surname? There is now a shared index of individuals, that you can search. The TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy) users have put together the shared index. It’s like the old GENDEX site that died a couple of years ago.
I have our top 30 surnames at the bottom of each post. Click on the link, and you’ll see everyone’s listings for that surname. Enjoy!

Yep - thats right, I am in Dallas all of this week. I fly back to Fargo (and then pick up my car and head to Jamestown of course) tomorrow afternoon.
I have a big post on it over on my personal blog - so check it out. It is a pretty exciting post. On a side note, I finally bothered to register JakeBarnard.com for myself.

We found a misplaced folder of my grandfather Barnard’s notes! Here is part of what he writes as “genealogical memories” addressed to his three children:
“George Allen Barnard, my great grandfather, came to Western
Pennsylvania from near Hartford, Connecticut about 1835 selling and
repairing clocks. He took up land on Cowanshannock Creek. Later he
married a widow, Rose Irwin, the mother of three children. One of those
children, David Johnston Irwin became a minister of the Presbyterian
Church and served for years as pastor of the Ebenezer Presbyterian
Church in Indiana County, Pa.”
The above is from the memo dated November 11, 1965.

Hey everybody, and Welcome 
I made various formatting changes this weekend to better integrate the two portions of the site. It should now be easier to navigate, both for we humans and for the google search spiders.
If you have suggestions on the format, I’d love to hear them. What works best for you?

Well here is another wedding update for you guys!
Jennie and I met with our photographer this weekend and had some pictures taken. She is also making our invitations, so those should be ready asap as well. I am waiting for a few additional addresses from Mom (Susan) and then those should be hitting mail box’s soon! We also stopped by the craft store and got some crafty type things for the wedding - so all in all it was a good wedding weekend.
I will keep everyone updated! Remember - Sept. 23rd is coming up faster and faster!

I received email today from one of the last four farmers in Vadenrod, Germany. Vadenrod celebrated its 750 year anniversary in 2001. The history book names the Dierlam family who came to Texas in 1848!
