Family History Friday

Research list for Erie County

Erie Bayfront (where all these folks lived) source
Marriage certificate for Mary G. McCarthy and Francis "Frank" Robert Wood Feb 9, 1904

Marriage certificate for Ellen O'Brien and Cornelius McCarthy about 1876 (or confirmation the marriage was not in Erie County. They were living in Erie in 1880.) Since the county marriage records only go back to 1885, maybe the diocese has records? [St. Patrick's Parish, 130 East 4th Street (814) 454-8085 ext 1]

Marriage certificate for Catherine Mooney and Robert Wood 1874 (or confirmation the marriage was not in Erie County. His census records say he arrived in 1881 so unlikely to find.)

Marriage certificate for Anna Mogensen and Theodore Andersen; married around 1878 - too early to be in the records. They were living in Erie in 1880.

Naturalizations - Cornelius McCarthy (naturalized in 1870 according to 1930 census; 1874 in 1920 census)

  1. I believe that Cornelius McCarthy is my great-great-great-grand-father. Do you have any more information on him?
