Dee, Yep, Greengate Mall is a 'ghost' mall now and has been/ is being shut down. Can't believe that you don't remember Eastland Plaza! It was the IN place to shop in its day.

Mac, You make our school system sound terrific and you and I and the rest of the 'kids' who had the privilege of attending schools in Moon Twp agree heartily. There were 400 students from 7th. thru 12th and most of us knew darned near every student by name. We were a close knit group who survived the Depression and came through with flying colors. There were 44 graduates in the Class of '40 and we were as close as family--closer sometimes. Many of the members of that class are gone now but fondly remembered. Yes, we may have had hay in our hair and manure on our shoes sometimes but we had something today's students will never have. And yes, Mac one of Moon's star football players, was often late for first class in the morning because he had to milk the cows. He was such a teacher's pet that he was never scolded for being late--they just smiled at the big lug.

Nora, I did find a lot of information on the INS website, but of particular interest is http://www.ins.gov/graphics/aboutins/history/tools.html#tooljump which not only talks about naturalizations, but other immigration records like the passenger lists. If you weave through the links you will see that although Pittsburgh has a federal building on Liberty Ave., they want you to contact the Philadelphia address for FOI requests. (I am assuming that they were naturalized in PA?) I do know that with the final naturalization certificate that my grandmother had from 1924, I was able to go to the National Archives in Washington, DC and find the application for naturalization (first papers) which is the paper that asks all the good questions.

Elissa Yes, I believe it was after 1906. I will have to check the 1920 census record again. Do you mean the records are stored at the federal level and not local? I had hoped it was at a local court.

Remember it. Weren't they the ones that had the big bowl of shrimp on the buffet table? Afraid I don't remember what was in the drink. It is now an "adult" store.

'we went right into high school in seventh grade' I think that would be so much better than today's way of 4 grades in high school! debi _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Genealogy at last. Does anyone from Temperanceville (West End to those younger than Lenkner) have any thing on Gar Taylor who ran a gas station at the corner of Noblestown Road and South Main Street ?? Wife was Albertina _______, had sons James who married a Lillian _______and William b 1913 m Verna WITTMAN from Herschel Street. Verna's mother was Barbara, who was blind and an avid Pirate fan. Gar and Albertina lived across S Main from Noblestown. Mac

The first school that I went to was only four rooms, Kindergarten had two rooms on the first floor, first and second grades had the other two rooms on the second floor. The rooms were huge though Third through sixth grades were in another building a couple of miles away. We didn't have a middle/junior high school, we went right into high school in seventh grade.

For those of you experienced in the various lists, is the Allegheny Memories list very active? Doesn't it allow for more variance of materials than the genealogically oriented Allegheny list? Or am I misinformed? Thanks! -- Elissa ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!

I started school at St. Theresa's in Perrysville where we had two classes in one room. I always found the upper grades work more interesting than my own grade.

Sorry, that was supposed to be CAN'T deviate.

I just need to add my 2 cents worth. I was a member of the Allegheny list before the Pittsburgh list. It makes me appreciate this list so much more. You can deviate one tiny bit on that list. This list is wonderful and I enjoy the fact that you don't have to be afraid to send something. Keep up the great work! Lori
