Hi, June,
What a joy to find something in this line!I am a relatively new researcher, as in the past few months of really pouring some time into it, but I am a descendant of Ebenezer and Nancy Mitchell Gill through their daughter, Mary, who married Archibald Euwer.I would be happy to share anything and everything I have with you, but I know you have been in contact (as I am, too) with Bob McElroy who is also in the Euwer family.I don't know what he might have sent you through email so don't want to duplicate that.
The University of Pittsburgh has digitized a number of historical books, all of which are searchable from one site.Try going to www.digital.library.pitt.edu/hswp/ which should take you to that site.Pitt provides the service for The Historical Society of Western PA from what I can tell.You should be able to enter surnames and see what they have.MOST of the information is fairly accurate as to names and as to dates when given.There are some errors as a lot is told through stories handed down, and the information may not be complete as to family members, but it's an excellent site to get some names.
I did not know about John Gill and Jean Shaw and am most grateful to have that.If you have anything further back or dates or areas, I would be happy to have that and see if I can take it back another generation or more.If I can, you will get that information.Please let me know what you don't have, but would like from Gill to Swank.Thank you so much!!!
Mary Lou
