E-mail: Jim Burnell
Query: It's 1999 and time to renew my Centre County query. My great- grandmother was Effie SNYDER, supposedly of Centre Hall, Centre County. Unfortunately, I know precious little else! My grandfather, Roy Wheeler BURNELL, was born to Effie and Henry BURNELL in North Bend, Clinton County, in 1894. There was an older son James. Henry was (supposedly) an Irish immigrant, working the logging camps. I know nothing more about Effie. Neither appear in either the 1880 or 1900 PA census. For whatever it's worth, there is an Effie Snyder in Milesburg in the 1890 census "remnant" from Centre County available on this site. She also does not appear in the bracketing censuses. I would be eternally grateful for any information on Effie, her origins, or her whereabouts. Even ideas on where I can look (from a distance) or look-ups I can request would be welcome. Thanks and best of luck. Jim Burnell

After that marriage she had another 6 children and at some point married a John Davis of Philipsburg. Some of her children's names included Vioma and Elizabeth but I'm not sure what family name the children carried. My grandfather is Albert Leo Young (Sr) and was born 10/14/1911.

Stories have it that Alma had a 'sleeping illness' and gave my grandfather to the man who was believed to be his father and his wife to take care of. Any clues or information would be appreciated.
