This is the CORNELIUS ancestry page. Photos are identified when known. I am
hoping that someone out there has the same photos, since families and friends
often shared photos, and thus we can identify more ancestors. My relatives lived
in Mercer County, Pa. between Greenville and Mercer; Venango County, Pa. in
Dempseytown and McKean County, Pa., in Bradford. The Cornelius' came from New
York.
Surnames in my pedigree are: CORNELIUS, DEMPSEY, THOMPSON, MILES, HITCHCOK,
HAYS, OTTO, CARTER, GRAY, ADDLEMAN, TITUS
Surnames of friends of the family or relatives by marriage: CREESE, STRANAHAN,
MIDDLEBROUGH

great grandmother Ella Udella Thompson.
