cherimin — 2007-10-31 12:28:05Z

Kimberly, I don't know anything about the child, but I'm wondering about the father - do you know what his age would have been in 1975?

Are you familiar with the Minerd.com website?

you can write me at cheri at minerd.net

Have you tried looking for him using Minerd.com? He may know his last name and may have found this site. I pray you find him.

I might be related to the May's but not sure. Sorry I don't have info to share with you. You seem to be searching too.

Re: May-Coughenour-Minerd

Thank you Debbie.

i had to call my mom and ask some questions. My father [Isabelle's son] died in 1996.
MY mom said that Isabelle's mother was Martha Swink. Her father was Henry Coughenour. They were not married. Martha later married Mr. May(Mom didn'tknow his first name) and they produced Elizabeth, who later married Edwin Butler, and Simon May who lived in Apollo in later life. Mr. May raised Isabelle as his daughter. My mother read most of this to me from Isabelle's obituary, which she still has from the Connellsville Daily Courier. Isabelle was born May 12, 1892 and died Dec 12, 1956. This was when I was 2 years old so I don't remember her. Perhaps Mark Miner of the Miner.com site has more info. My mother said she didn't know of anyone else I could ask,most of my father's family has died.

Re: May-Coughenour-Minerd

CChrisWhite — 2006-01-22 22:31:13Z

Debbie, do you know the first name of your great grandfather, Isabelle's father?

Re: May-Coughenour-Minerd

CChrisWhite — 2006-01-12 03:15:30Z

I don't know anything about the Coughenour family. I'm inquiring if anyone knows the given name of Isabelle Coughenour's father and his father. Isabelle's mother was Martha Swink. Isabelle's half sister was Elizabeth May, who married a Butler. This is all the info I have.

Re: May-Coughenour-Minerd

2006-01-11 21:13:02Z

either i never got it or someone in my family deleted it , not recognizing the sender. I would be interested in what you know of the family

Re: May-Coughenour-Minerd

CChrisWhite — 2006-01-11 17:21:41Z

I emailed you but haven't received an acknowledgement. Did you receive it?

Re: May-Coughenour-Minerd

2006-01-04 16:53:44Z

Isobelle Coughnour Miner was my grandmother. She was married to Lawrence Minerd, and their son Lawrence Jr. was my father. He died in 1996. I met his Aunt Lizzie [Elizabeth Butler] on several occasions. She was his favorite aunt. My mother could probably have more Info. E mail me if you like, and i could share any info i get from her.

Minerd Family Website

@@markminer@mindspring.com — 2005-11-28 02:50:36Z

For anyone seeking their Minerd roots, I invite you to visit our new Minerd family website, www.minerd.com. It highlights the national reunion and research of the German family of Minerd-Miner-Minor, of Pennsylvania, and contains the names of some 1,200 descendants of the first five generations who were born before the year 1900. Right now we have biographies posted for about 420 of the early cousins.

Maynard / Minerd / Minard (?) Ralph and Paul OH or PA

LoriLopez80 — 2005-07-22 05:35:39Z

Actually searching for descendants of James E. Sandoe who married a Mae Minard who was apparently a widow with at least three children. On the 1920 Census Ralph, Paul both age 17, and Malri (?) age 12, Minerd are living at home and are listed as step-children of James Sandoe.

Mae could be Mary or May, do not know her maiden name and have not been able to find the Minerd family on the 1910 or 1900 census for either PA or OH, but it seems there are many variations on the spelling or similar sounding surnames.

Has anyone heard of this family?

Looking for my brother whom was adopted (Birth name Minerd)

2005-03-19 00:27:04Z

My brothers Birthname was Donald Eugene Minerd but I am sure it has changed with the adoption. He was given up around one or two yrs. of age somewhere around 1975? I know his birth father was Donald Eugene Minerd of Masontown and his birth mother was Mary Louise Sereneri and he was born in Uniontown Pa and left at Children and Youth Services. If anyone has any info. about him I would love for you to get a hold of me. There are a few in our family (Serenari Family) that never wanted for him to be taken away and will never have any closer until they know how he is and whatever happened to him. Thanks....Kimberly Pickard

CChrisWhite — 2004-08-06 21:12:52Z

I'm looking for the names of Isabelle Coughenour's parents. She married Lawrence E. Minerd (date?). Supposedly, Isabelle's family was from the Somerset, Pa. area and later moved to Fayette Co., Pa. Isabelle had a sister named Elizabeth who married a BUTLER. I think Isabelle's mother's maiden name was MAY. Isabelle died in 1956 at age 61 or 69. I checked the MINERD, MAY and GOCHENOUR websites and found nothing. Any info would be appreciated.

2004-02-17 00:30:14Z

Hi, Just saw your message, and thought it was interesting that your name was Amanda Burchfield. That is the name of my great great grandmother. She was born and raised and died in Cades Cove, Tenn. How are you connected to the family? My grandmother Flora Burchfield Proctor is Amanda
Burchfield's granddaughter. My Amanda is the daughter to
"Long haired Sam (Samuel) Burchfield.
Flora's mother was Lydia Burchfield.

2000-11-07 14:14:23Z

We are in shock that there are so many Minerd's. My husbands family thought they were the only ones. Do you all say your name MINARD/MENARD when spelling it Minerd? I am wondering how we can find out if we are all conected. Our family has almost no family records. They are clueless as to the orgin of the family. My husbands father doesn't even know if we have relatives alive or not. He also doesn't care, but we do. If we are related we would love to come to your reunion. A man with the last name of Miner contacted us at PamiAni@aol.com a few years ago and said we may be related but we were not sure if we should give it much effort. Are any of you that guy? Please let us know. We are very excited to find you all and the Minerd.com web site.

Thanks all Ü,

Wendy:

Although I am Not a Minard, you might be interested in knowing that there were Minard families in the New London Connecticut area in the early 1700s. Also, another separate Minard family who settled in Pennsylvania in the mid 1700s. Some of these people changed thier name to Miner. Causing a great deal of confusion in trying to trace real Miner ancestors.

finding family...Minerds

1999-09-14 15:02:58Z

HI, My name is Wendy and my maiden name is Minerd....It's my hope to find family members related to myself and my father, Craig Hershal Minerd, becuase I am starting geneology, and also because my father has relatives that he doesn't know...and has no idea about his father...Thomas Hershal Minerd, who died after divorcing my father's mother. It's our understanding that before Thomas died he had remarried and had 4 or five other children. We don't even know if they are aware that my dad exists. It would be so wonderful to find family...because my father is alone, with no real family and a vague legacy to leave my young brother..who is 13. Any help I could get would be great and feel free to email me anytime. I've never even talked with another Minerd before, except my dad.lol. I live in michigan, and he lives in California.
Thanks for taking the time to read all this, and I hope to be hearing from someone soon...

we have the same name

2003-03-28 19:41:56Z

My great-grandfather was Charles A. Minerd, married to Sarah Jane Kinsel. He was born April 1858 supposedly in Dunbar, Fayette, PA, although I haven't been able to prove this. My grandmother's name was Eva Kate and she had several brothers and sisters. The family is said to have moved to West Virginia in the early 1900's.

Charles A. Minerd-PA 1858-1938

paz37 — 2002-01-03 00:43:02Z

Hi-My grandmother was Eva Kate Minerd born in Dunbar, Fayette, Pennsylvania. There were around 7 children in her family. Her mother's name was Sarah Jane Kinsel. Haven't got much, but if you think there's a chance you might be related, just let me know.

cousins

paz37 — 2002-01-03 00:43:02Z

Wendy, if Thomas was born close to 1921, then he would be a cousin to my mother somehow. She was born in 1922.
