Marika, Where did the coal mining disaster take place (in Dec 1907)? And do you have names of the 300 killed? I know this is a longshot, but my g-greatmother was widowed sometime before the birth of her second son, who was born May 1908. My g-grandfather was Joseph Soltesz. Presumably he died in the USA -- most likely in Ohio but possibly in PA or anywhere for that matter. Do you know if he was among the dead? Thanx, Sharon D. Guerra mailto:guerra_family@hotmail.com
