I've been doing the family tree since Oct 7 2007. I looked up my grandpa Roy in May 2007, and seen grandma Mary had a tree up. So, I decided to research the Harrison's, and put them together in the tree. I even pay someone to search for my grandpa Roy, and his parent's obit. I was living in Ohio at that time. When I came back in 2008 I started searching the Riverview Cemetery. Then I have found Roy's g grandparent's headstone within a year on July 21 2009. Roys ancestors came from Germany, Ireland, Scotland, and England.
It took me a while to find my Rangel's in the census, because they misspelled their name. They was at the County where my grandpa Simon was born at. All that I did is research thier first name's in the county, and there they was. They was immigrants of Mexcio. I do know that his family work on a sugar field when they came to Montana bef 1935 from Texas.
As for both of my grandma's tree. Mary Niffen, and Margaret White tree's was already up.
Now, I want to take genealogy to the next level by taking DNA test with 23andme. I want to know if I have any African Ancestors, or Native American and to see if my mexican cousin's took it. I was going to take it in 2016, but I had to upgrade my camera. A poss. long distance cousin offer a DNA kit from Family Tree DNA company. I took the offer, because its once in life time to get it done. Its all payed for. Thank you R. M.

He was born on Aug 9 1782 in Montours Runs, Washington, Pennsylvania to scottish & irish parent's James & Rachel "Forbes" Scott. They had 10 children Rhoda, Rachel, Ruth, William Harrison, Sarah, Alvah, Daniel, Margaret, Thomas Axtell, & Louisa A. Daniel did'nt made it to adulthood. Their religion is Presbyterian. Her father Daniel Axtell was the first elders of Fairfield Presbyterian Church in New Vernon. Francis has Served War 1812 as a Private. Elizabeth was 23 years old with 3 young daughters while Francis went off to war. I'm pretty sure church members or family help out. All the children moved to Iowa, & Ohio away from Pennsylvania. Her oldest daughter Rhoda Sisley was the only one that stayed in Pennsylvania. And Margaret Tuttle came back to Pennsylvania before 1900.
Francis Scott died on Feb 2 1846, and buried at Fairfield Cemetery, New Vernon, Mercer, Pennsylvania.

Update from Kimmy G I have found the stuff on online newspapers.
August Herny Arend b. 14 DEC 1878 in Lagrange, Lewis, Missouri son of August H. Arend and Frederica Christine "Ricke" Meyer. He was the 2nd born out of 5 children. I guess August have mat Minnie at Quincy, Ill. He's grandparent's had lived there, and Minnie was living in Quincy at that time. She had been abducted by a married man named Amos Farris in the year of 1894. August and Minnie went to Keokuk, Lee, Iowa and got married on 8 FEB 1897, and lived there every since. They had 5 children together Albert Lindel, Lola Helen, Blanche Frances, Raymond Floyd, and Ethel May. August would've died on 22 Aug 1910 from motorcycle accident. A tire blown out, and he got thrown from the motorcycle head first. Sadly, a year after the accident Minnie had died on 25 OCT 1911 of Illness on a Wednesday morning at the age of 32 years old. Their daughter Ethel had died of pneumonia 2 months after Minnie had passed on. Minnie Belle was the daughter of Arthur Scott Sisley, and Frances A. Swan.
August married to his 2nd wife Mazie E. Ferris daughter of John Ferris, and Nannie Belle Mccluey on 8 FEB 1912 in Lee, Iowa a month after Ethel has passed. Mazie was 18 years old at the time of her marriage. she took in a husband, and 4 young children. They had 2 children Gladys M., and Harold John. August did put a ad for a housekeeper on Dec 1911, and Mazie was the right age for that job. I would like to think Mazie was his housekeeper. Once again a young mother has died. Mazie was only 21 years old when she passed from spinal meningitis on 1 APR 1915 2 week's after giving birth to her only son Harold John who also died 2 months afterwards. She was buried at Oakland cemetery. August was a widow for the 2nd time at the age of 37. He had to buried 2 wives, and 2 children.
August married his 3rd wife Mary Alice Orleans daughter of Frank X. Orleans and Anna Spencer on 14 SEP 1915 in Burlington, Des Moines, Iowa. They did not had children. It was also Mary 3rd marriage. Her first 2 husband poss. died. She had a daughter from her 1st marriage Anna Mrytle Wallace who married to a Dr. C. V. Winsett, which they got a divorce. August file a divorce on 29 Mar 1919 against Mary after being married for 4 years. Just because she was addicted to drinking intoxicating liquors, and have some sort of scandal to him, and his children. They got a divorce on 18 JUN 1919. Mary took her 2nd married name Henrie back after the divorce. I guess they had bad blood between them. It probably hurt the children, because they probably did called this Mary mom. Knowing they knew she was a stepmother. Mary had passed on 29 JAN 1928, and poss. be buried with 4th husband Charles Curtis Eichelberger in Oakland Cemetery.
August married to 4th "the last" wife Ethel R. Wright daughter of Poss. Simeon James Wright and Jennie Elizabeth Spencer on 3 JUL 1922 in Lee, Iowa. Her mother was married to a Jared Gerard Merrick who have died on 9 March 1922. Jennie have died on 27 Dec 1922. Ethel was a executor on her mother's will. Ethel had died 8 months after August death on 25 OCT 1971, and buried in a Cement vault at Oakland Cemetery.
August was member of Yeoman Lodge, and Woodman lodge. He was in World War I. He was a lucky man to survived after a freak accident on a motorcycle. On 19 Apr 1920 He had a crushed knee on his left leg, and he sue his work to get the rest of his money. He went through alot of ups, and downs in his life time. But he lived a very long life at the age of 92. He outlived his 4 brothers. He had lived 15 years after his brother Otto died on 6 JAN 1956. He had died on 13 FEB 1971, and buried in a concrete box at Oakland Cemetery.

Daughter Lola Helen got married to a Hershel Harrison in Quincy She lived in Pike, Missouri and died there in 1980. Lola had 13 children. Blanche Frances, Raymond Floyd, and Gladys M. stayed in Iowa.
