Genealogy has become a hobby for me over the last 10 years. For me, it's like a puzzle, I love fitting the pieces together. But over the years, I've researched a lot that does not pertain to our family lines. Some for extended family, some for close friends, and some because I was trying to rule out lines to figure out where our line went exactly. I do not want these notes on my Heather's Genealogy Notes blog - because they are not our lines. But I do like to share all of my research, in case it benefits others. That is what this blog is for - research I have done that does not apply to our own family lines, but may be helpful for someone else.

Find A Grave Records:

Four Henry Conrad's born before 1850, buried in Northumberland County PA
NONE of these listing are for "My" Henry, who died on April 17 of 1893
(Henry's first wife was buried at Neimand Church - look there)

b. Apr. 27, 1799 d. Jul. 22, 1855 Lantzs Emmanuel Cemetery  Sunbury

b. Oct. 11, 1811 d. Sep. 11, 1882 Saint Elias Church Cemetery Sunbury

b. Apr. 26, 1829 d. Dec. 17, 1899 Pomfret Manor Cemetery  Sunbury

b. Mar. 20, 1841 d. Jan. 21, 1862

================================================================
Newspaper Articles:
Going by the death dates above, this means this article belongs to *2 
       July 14 1855, Sunbury American
This article specifies Henry Conrad son of Henry, so I'm assuming Henry *
4, who is son of *2

For this article we know that the property adjoins George Conrad.  This does not specify estate of, so I am not convinced that this Henry is dead?    It's located in Purdytown, Northumberland County PA. 

This appears to be an article about animals at the fair?  It specifies Henry H. Conrad:
Article is published in 1873, eliminating Henry *2 & *5, who both died before that date. *4 has the middle initial B.  That leaves *1 & *3 - or possibly a child that a  6th, unlisted here, Henry. 

On December 25 1852 A Henry Conrad is listed as a defendent.
   "Raker & Co for Jacob Bloom vs Henry Conrad"
    *5 would not have been old enough to be a defendant, but I cannot at this time rule out any of the others.


========================================================================

Census Records:
In 1810:  Just One, Most likely *6

In 1820 - Two - Most likely *2 & *6

In 1830 - Three, one listed as JR.  *7 & *2

In 1840 - Three *3, *6, *2
