Well, I enjoyed my visit up there for almost 3 weeks straight June 23-July11, & loved the cooler weather, folks. There's always bowling, & other things you can go do that is pleasant to do other than outside activities. Go to a concert, take a vacation near-by state. We had a couple days of rain, but generally you guys have it great! I live in FL, & it's so HOT & HUMID now ! Can't even bear to be outside!

If your thinking of the panhandle, Carol, then your talking the Hancock County, or Brooke Co, WVA areas, right over into the WVA area from OH/PA areas. Actually the Hancock co, is the place your looking for. Brooke is farther down the "pike" so to speak! Follansbee area. Are these records from this area? Whatcha talking about? If so, let us all know what?!

Geni Friend Judy & Genies Yes, my Grandfather worked in the mines in Marianna, Pa. He was killed in the Marianna Mine Blast of 1908, on Nov. 28, 1908. I have been searching for him for over 30 years and with many many many helpful searchers there has never been a shred of evidence to find him, other than his death certificate proving he was killed in the mines and the names of the dead miners in the Observer-Reporter. In the article of the mine explusion they say that there was a Relief Fund for the families of the Marianna Victims. I had inquired with many searchers if there would have been a record of the wives and pertinent information of who recieved funds and where I could possible search? My Grandfather MICHAEL STEVENS was born in Russia Sept. 1, 1886, haven't been able to find his entry into the U.S.A. or boat passage. He had to have come over after the 1900 census and died before the 1910 census, couldn't find him in the Canonsburg census. My Mother was born in Canosnsburg, Pa. on Jun. 5, 1907, and her brother was born Dec. 28, 1908 one month after the death of his father MICHAEL STEVENS. MARY STEVENS was his wife and she died Jun 6, 1927 and haven't been able to find an obit for her, but do have her death certificate. Is there some where to find the applications the miners would have been filled out to work in the mines at that time for that new mine? In August of 1906 the work of putting down the mine shaft of the Rachel mine ws commenced in the new town of Marianna, Pa. and the following winter similar work was begun at the Agnes Mines, a short distance south-west of the former Rachel mine. In these Marianna mines were some of the best miners that the Pittsburg-Buffalo Company had. They were brought there from Cannonsburg, Monongahela, Catsburg and others points. Into these mines had gone the pick and flower of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Company miners, here was the model mine and in that work the best were chosen to perform it. I am still searching what his Russian last name would have been, other than STEVENS, since he may have Americanzed his name as so many from the Old Country did? They were "Old Belivers of the Russian St Nicholas Church" in Marianna, Pa. So on with the unending seaching hoping out there somewhere he will let me find him !

Hi Rosanne, I'm sure others have probably offered this help, but I find it very interesting to be able to see houses where my birth relatives lived in the 1950s still standing. You can even see photos as they look today and who the owners are, etc. Good luck. Just select the state, click on the county (or if you don't know that, there is a link to submitting the town and it will provide the county), and then you supply the address. There are maps available on the site too. Unfortunately, not all counties have their records online but I'm originally from Allegheny County and they do.

Hi Does anyone know what ward Alhambra Way was in 1910 census? In 1900 my uncle was on Alhamba Way, in 1930 he was on South Millvale. Are both streets in the same area? Bloomfield? Thanks for any help. Bob Greb

That's one of the reasons I felt that her maiden name could have been Newton. Another was the fact that the property had been owned by Ambrose Newton.

Amy, Perhaps you should refer to it as "Minister Returns", & not "Marraige Index", thought that might be what they are?! A Library deals with TITLES, not with what's in the book.
