Death Records Now

I am trying to find parents of Isaac Osman from Shamokin, PA, Northumberland Co.

He was born in Nov 1846 and died 12 Nov 1906. I have tons of info on his Wife Harriet S. Bordner, and his children,Emma M, Minnie N, William F, Alice L, but I can’t seem to find any info about his parents/grandparents.

His wife Harriet was remarried to a Frank E. Osman after his death so it is possible that he and Frank were brothers, or related.

The rumor is that either Isaacs dad or grandfather came from Turkey but I cant prove this either.

In 1860 there are 2 records for Isaac Osman in Pennsylvania, 1 born abt 1855 and 1 (below) born abt 1848. I imagine the 1848 one is probably the one I want as the cencus says:
John Osman 40 PA
Mary A Osman 40 PA
John Osman 16 PA
Isaac Osman 12 PA
Mary Miller 15

I am looking for a document that says Issac’s dad was John before I call it a possitive match. So far I havent found any record of Isaac that lists his dads name.

Thank You!

I’m Searching for a Marriage between ?McCoy and Josephine Marie Hauser-Hessey She appears as Marie Josephine McCoy on her sons Robert Dickson Hessey World War One Draft Reg. She divorced Her first Husband Gerard Grant Hessey after 1910 she lived in Tacoma,Pierce County,Washington by 1918 and is married again to a ? McCoy but on the 1920 census she is listed as a Widow still living in Tacoma.Pierce co,Washington I have searched the Washington State Digital Archives she’s only listed with her first husband. No records after the 1930 census she is still living in tacoma,washington by herself I cant even find a death record for her I’m not even sure she is still in Washington I need help I’m stuck.
Josephine Marie Hauser of Marie Josephine Houser was born 1874 in Alton,Illinois
Grannytoad Frank McCoy is actually Frank Hessey apparantly her second husband adopted him and no its not him in Prison his father was born in Iowa and his mother in Illinois. But thanks for the Info.

Not sure if this will help much, but I think I found her death record in the Washington Death Index (1940-1996):

Marie McCoy, died 8 May 1944, age 72, Tacoma, cert # 718

You might consider contacting the Pierce County Genealogical Society to see if they can help you find the official marriage record:

Incidentally, my g-g-grandmother was a Houser: Sarah Catherine (1863-1925) born in DeKalb Co., Indiana, daughter of Adam. Most Houser/Hausers came from Pennsylvania. Bet we have a connection somewhere.

I’m doing some family history research and I’ve found some death records for certain family members…other documents state that this person was born around 1860 in texas, but when I looked at the state where the social security number was issued it said kansas…why would this be?
keep in mind that this person would have been born a slave in 1860…I’m assuming that he may have moved to kansas sometime after the emancipation of 1863, and that’s where he applied, but I have yet to find a record for him in kansas…all of his children where born in Indian Territory, Oklahoma in the early 1900’s and 19-teens. and I have found census records of that.

Social Security was first enacted in August 1935; payroll taxes were first collected in 1937; the first monthly payment was issued in January 1940, but it wasn’t until 1972 that the US government authorized Social Security to enumerate children at the time they first entered school. Only in 1988 did Congress require a taxpayer identification number, which was ordinarily a Social Security number, of each dependent child age two or older.

Accordingly, US Census records could very well document that your ancestor was born in Texas in 1860, but his or her Social Security records would indicate he or she was living in Kansas at the time his Social Security card was issued. I can personally remember a 9th-grade teacher obtaining Social Security numbers for all his algebra students in 1965, so at that point, enrollment for non-working minors was completely voluntary.

You also need not look for a birth certificate for an ancestor born in 1860 Texas. Indeed, about the best you can do on that score, other than looking at US Census records, is to find his or her birth date recorded in a family bible. Up through the 1920s, births in many states were only recorded if a child was born in a hospital, but in rural and small town Texas, most children were born at home. My mother and dad who were born in 1920 and 1925 respectively didn’t have thieir birth certificates issued until 1981 when Dad decided to take Mom to Europe and show her just where he had been stationed in World War II. In each case, older siblings swore that they were present at the time of birth.

P. S. African-Americans who were slaves weren’t enumerated until 1870, although depending on the family, the census records are fairly accurate in the latter decades of the 19th century. From 1870 and any time afterwards, a census would prpbably show that your ancestor was born in Texas in 1860.
