Re: Mary Shoop's Civil War letter collection

John Snowden, this is very interesting and I was not aware of these letters until today.Per the article your grandmother was Georgianna Remaley.I'm convinced we are the same Shoop's, as I recall the Remaley name interchanging with ours.Also, them and us being from Springdale, it's undesputable, we are related.Both Shoop and Remaley were 'synonymous with Springdale'.

I'm John G Shoop, living in Erie, PA, born in Springdale, PA on June 23, 1934.My Father was Paul Phillip Shoop, son of John (deceased before my birth) & Armina Shoop, who owned the property where Duquesne Power Company stands, if you know Springdale.With Grandpa John we are getting back into the 1800's.I would think one more generation back (2 generations at most would pick up George Shoop & Mary (Remaley) Shoop (your Great grandma) from your letters.

Simply, I don't have names and dates of my ancestors, and I believe my daughter, nephew and great niece and nephew do have many.Hopefully we can make contact.
