- ENTERLINE posted by Dennis Cass on Wednesday, January 20, 1999
- Trying to put together as complete a family tree on the Enterline family as possible. All Enterlines are descended from Rev. Johann Michael Enderlein b:1726, so I am interested in obtaining information from all branches of the Enterline family.

I am especially interested in the descendants of Daniel's sons Philip Martin Enterline b:1855 & Samuel Shives Enterline b:1861 and descendants of his Grandson Isaac M. Enterline b:1872.
- BURNS, LEE, MCGUIGAN posted by Susan Gibson on Wednesday, January 20, 1999
- I am reseraching the McGuigan family of Butler and possibly Armstrong Counties.
My family includes these people
Mary Margaret McGuigan, born in Chicora, PA 1867 parents, Patrick McGuigan of New York & Bessie Burns, of Ireland.
A recent lookup in the "175th anniversary book of St. Patrick's Church" (I am assuming this is St Patrick's Church of Worthington, PA) mentions someone of the name McGuigan,
'There was a very short write-up on Father McGuigan in the 175th anniversary book of St. Patrick's church. It stated that he was born May 1, 1870 in Oil City and was ordained on 21 Jul 1912. He served at St. Patrick's from 21 Sep 1922 until 23 Jul 1924. He then went to Mater Dolorosa Church in Chicora, and served there until his death on 11 Apr 1931.'
The Father's Obit stated
'Rev. Father P. G. McGuigan, aged 61. He was born in Oil City, the son of the late Owen M. and Margaret Conley McGuigan. Early in life he moved to New Brighton. Veteran of the World War. [WWI] Surviving are three sisters, Miss Alice McGuigan of Chicora, Mrs. A. Reilly of Beaver Falls, and Mrs. Gertrude O'Connell of Rome, NY. He was buried in the St. Mary's Catholic cemetery at Pittsburgh.'
He had been in charge of the Mater Dolorosa church in Chicora for the past nine years, at the time of his death. This obituary was in the Butler Eagle, 11 Apr 1931, p.1. He would have been born about 1870.
Anyone out there who could help? I have little info and do not believe this man to be a direct relative, but with the low occurence of the MCGUIGAN name I am hoping that perhaps he was a cousin of my family's...
- ENTERLINE, LANKER posted by Michael Stewart on Thursday, January 21, 1999
- Forgive me if I am providing information that you already possess. My great aunt Lillian Shumaker Lankerd put together "The Descendants of Joseph and Margaretta (Enterline) Lanker". There is quite a bit of Enterlein history in there. I will be happy to share information from my copy with you and I believe it is available at the Lankerd-Thomas Library as well as at the Mormon Church Library in Utah. Sadly I am told that Lillian passed away about two weeks ago. Also, my great grandmother Irene (Smith) Lankerd married again late in life to a William Enterline. I have a picture of this couple but I don't have any genalogical information on him..

- FETTER, HESS, MINICH, SHELLY posted by Mark Shelly on Tuesday, January 26, 1999
- Jacob SHELLY and Mary MINICH married each other, probably between 1848 and 1853. Mary previously was married to John HAINES. Jacob SHELLY, living in Redbamk Twp, Armstrong Co., PA had 6 or 7 children by his first wife and Peter SHELLY and William SHELLY by Mary. Jacob's 1st wife's maiden name was listed as HESS. Peter SHELLY married Mary FETTER of Oak Ridge, Armstrong Co., PA and moved to Six Lakes Michigan. The Beers project pages 861-863 has Mary, listed as Polly, incorrectly married to Henry SHELLY 2nd.
