McA/Ininch Military Veterans in General Index to Pension Files 1861-1934 |
____________________________________________________________________________

The Editor’s Corner |
|
Our main feature this month is the Military Pension List, mostly Union veterans of the Civil War, |
|
and a big welcome to Lorna Gilbert, of Houston, Texas, who copied the McAninch entries from |
|
the microfilm records from the National Archives. Lorna’s parents are Harold and Fern L. |
|
(McAninch) Bergdale, and Fern’s parents are Henry James (aka James Henry) McAninch and |
|
Mary A. (aka Anna and Ann Marie) Christensen, who was born in Denmark. Henry’s parents are |
|
Peter McAninch, b. 1841, Armstrong Co., Penn., and Rosa Hill, mar. 29 Jul 1871, Jackson Co., |
|
Iowa. Peter, and his brother George, are sons of Henry McAninch, b.1800-1801, (?Armstrong Co.) |
|
Penn., and Mary Elizabeth Bowser (her two names on various records), and Henry is believed |
|
to be a son of John McAninch, early Armstrong Co. pioneer. |
|
On-line Forums: There are two on-line surname forums now, Ancestry and GenForum. |
|
The Ancestry Board <http://www.ancestry.com/share/surname/main.asp?surname=McAninch> |
|
has a lot of message traffic, and they have a McNinch board also, but not McIninch (at least, |
|
not yet). At GenForum, the McAninch Forum is at <http://genforum.genealogy.com/mcaninch>, |
|
with links to a McNinch / McIninch forum, and a Macaninch forum, which should be combined |
|
with McAninch. |
|
William and Isabel (Hopkins) McAninch: Appeal for help, to their descendents and researchers, |
|
for information for an article about this early-Pennsylvania couple for a future issue. Among other |
|
issues, who are William’s parents, and when was he was born (1783-1784, per census records, or |
|
1794, on various family group sheets)? A major source for this family is the Henry H. McAninch |
|
biography, Jefferson Co., Penn. Her Pioneers & People, 1800-1915, William James McKnight, |
|
1917, pg 574-575, which implies that they were married in Armstrong County; another descendant |
|
claimed, however, that “Isabel was born in Scotland”, and married “circa 1803”, “near Greensburg” |
|
[Westmoreland County]. |
