Hi Sharon, Well, I live in OR...so we are practically neighbors. I have some family roots counties adjacent to Carbon County, PA, so I like to get an idea of what various places have on hand. I have never been to Jim Thorpe, PA - about as close to there as I have ever wandered is Stroudsburg. I get back to Philly with some regularity as my husband and I have family there. Thanks.

She did an absolutely fabulous job of researching the Corrigans in Hazleton, PA and spent years doing it, long before the advent of personal computers. She kindly sent me a copy of her work several years ago. She mentions Mauch Chunk some, but more as a place where various people lived - not as a place with an historical society where research could be done. > > She did mention a Corrigan showing up in the 1859 census of Mauch Chunk as possibly being related to this group. > > I posted an excerpt from her research, including the reference to the Mauch Chunk Corrigan, just a few hours ago in response to Barbara's inquiry about any Australian connections, but I don't think it has shown up on the list. I included an attachment and I don't know if that works with the list (I am very technically challenged). I realize that I have never seen anything posted to the list before that had an attachment. I sent a personal forward of the info on to Barbara, as she was particularly interested in any Australian connections. > > Also, I live in Seattle and have only ever been to PA once about 34 years ago (Philadelphia), so have no access to or knowledge of the records available in Mauch Chunk.
