Frank Belles

teachr6071 — 2012-05-30 20:20:38Z

My grandfather lived in Noxen, PA and his name was Frank Belles. His wife was Laura (Blizzard) Belles. MY father was George. His older brother was Robert. He had a younger sister, Hazel. I'm just looking for any information on my family tree and have just started to look.

Re: Did anyone else grow up having their name routinely pronounced "Bells?"

Do you know when your dad was born, and or where? That could help. And yes "Bells" is a quite common pronunciation. One reason why the name Bellis sprouted just as most of the PA Belles came over from Germany in the early 1700's

Did anyone else grow up having their name routinely pronounced "Bells?"

Anyway I found the history page on our name interesting. I was born in 83 and raised in Lackawanna County, PA. My father's name was also John but he died when I was a toddler. I was raised by my maternal grandparents and my mother was absentee, so I know very little about my dad. I know he worked as a security guard at the University of Scranton for a period of time. I know it's a long shot, but if you think we may share a genealogy please send me a mail or reply. I've always been into history and not knowing the people that made essentially 50% of who I am today never sat well with me. Thanks in advance!

Re: BELLES John D - Vietnam Wall section 41W - our honor and thanks to those who put their lives on the line for us

Thank you for this post. This was my uncle.

Nelson Belles, born abt 1823 (Jackson, PA) - parents?

lm4841 — 2011-04-25 03:03:16Z

I just received a copy of my 2-great grandmother's death record, and I found multiple census records for her father Nelson and mom Louisa, but I've had no luck on Nelson's parents.

Nelson married Louisa Yetter before 1845 and had Isiah W., Christiann, John H, and Charles E.

He may have also served in the 198th PA Infantry during the Civil War, as Louisa applied for pension.

He spent many years in Jackson, Monroe County, PA, but he appears in Rush, Susquehanna County, PA, on the 1880 census, as a farmer, with son Charles.

Has anyone heard of him? Thanks, and much obliged -

Lee

I am searching the same family ! I am looking for Nicholas Bellows/Belles . I am stuck at the point of land records. I believe the Nicholas from Walpole is my progenitor who married Ruth Ann Minard in Yarmouth, Elgin Co., Ont in 1839 and has 2 sons. we are descended from the son isaac. If you have any more info about the parents of Lydia, I will share info.

Re: info on daniel and nicolas

bettybellous_1 — 2008-12-18 14:48:56Z

I have a Nicholas Bellows born about 1814 and living in Yarmouth Twp, Elgin Co., Ontario. He married Ruth Ann Minard 1839 and had 2 sons, William and Isaac. We are descended from Isaac. Supposedly Nicholas was born in USA. There is also a Samuel, William and Nicholas Belles appearing in Walpole Twp, Haldimand Co., Ont. They all migrated to US by 1840. Don't have parents of Nicholas. Do you ?
