Pioneer Certificates-Pennslyvania

Chuck — 31 Aug 2006 7:41:47 GMT

Have checked the "Links and Announcements", but find no mention of Pennslyvania. Does this state issue such documents, specifically for Perry County? Can trace my ancestry back to the 1700's in that general geographical area.

What is Pioneer Certification?

R_mesnard — 13 Nov 2006 8:31:58 GMT

I have never heard of this before and have been around the bend more than once. I have heard of many early settler societies but I suspect this one allows for some one that can trace their roots back to the mid 1800s. I am just curious.

Thanks

New Jersey and Pioneer Certification

robinpaulstinson1 — 16 Jul 2003 5:37:57 GMT

Hello,
I just found your board and I am hoping I am asking the correct thing. Did New Jersey have a mass migration of people going west? If they did please tell me something about it. When did it begin etc. I have people with the same last name as my family and it is very unusual.

Thank You,
Mrs. Robin M. Stinson

Conquistadore ancestor?

garibaldiguards — 16 Jul 2004 10:06:38 GMT

Jeronimo Bacarel could have been my distant relative. I found his name by searching through
Peter Boy-Bowman's two volumes of the Indice Geobiografico de Cuarenta mil Pobladores Espanoles de America en el Siglio XVI.
17,000 names of soldiers and colonists are listed, not only Spanish conquistadors, but Italians, French, Dutch, German, Scot, Portuguese, Greek and some Irish, who served in Spanish forces. It is written entirely in Spanish.

From this source I learned that Jeronimo Bacarel was from Palermo, Sicily and arrived in Peru in 1535. I have searched the internet for more information as to his life in the New World, but have uncovered nothing. So I don't know if he was a conquistador, or colonist, scoundrel or settler.

Where should my next search begin?

Is there anything like this in Canada?

FMatchettSpringer — 16 Jan 2005 10:13:21 GMT

Hello, I am interested in "Pioneer Certification" and was wondering if this was also in Canada. If yes, how do I get in touch with who is in charge? If no, why not? Can anyone direct me to the right path. Thank you, Frank (Matchett) Springer

Pioneer Programs

pcooper25 — 16 Sep 2002 2:43:58 GMT

It has been one week since our conference and I am still feeling great about the overall program. I would like to hear from any of you who has a pioneer program and how do you present the certificates. Do you do anything special? Do you give only certificates or do you present anything else? Do you have a quest speaker and do you present the certificates before or after the speaker? Is the occasion formal (banquet) or informal (lunch or annual meeting?)Do you present awards more than once a year? Do you just mail the awards? Any comments or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Illinois Prairie Pioneer Certificates

@@rchrdcck@aol.com — 3 Nov 2002 1:09:30 GMT

The Illinois State Genealogical Society has offered Priaire Pioneer Certificates for a number of years. There are three levels: Prestatehood, statehood to 1850, and 1850 to 1880. You can contact the ISGS for details. There are a number of books available with the summaries of the certificates. I just found this message board after reading the "daily news". I haven't had a chance to look at Illinois, KY, and other states. If you haven't posted a message in each of those sites about the pioneer certificates, I hope you will. Thanks for adding this message board. I've already added it to my favorites.

hope for a Pioneer program in PA and OH

JArnold1990 — 11 May 2006 12:31:53 GMT

Very interesting article. I would be delighted if PA and OH would develop these programs.

It would be an honor to qualify for this.
