Could someone help me with my genealogy? Hitting a brick wall.?

January 11th, 2010 6 comments

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 did a search on www.familysearch.org and it came up with a marriage for Johan Osmon to Mary Ann Bretz in 1845 in PA.
I also found this on the site named above.
