I agree with Darleen and Ginnie. If someone complained, well, just don't waste your time worrying about it! As one soccer mom to another, "Go Girl!" Next time it might be my child's team that wins and I might want to crow too.

why apologize? I think news like that makes everyone smile......and we certainly need something uplifting once in a while

I want to publicly apologize to the list for my posting yesterday concerning my son's soccer game. I in no way meant for it to be offensive. Since the origional went out to the entire list, I felt the apology should also.

Hi Victoria Brag all you want to, we all do it. Congrats to your son Barb

Hi Virginia Go to: http://www.county.allegheny.pa.us/regwills/cert.asp and go from there. Tell them that you would like to have all the papers concerning her naturalization. My mother's document had her picture on it and it just thrilled me. This site will tell you where to write for info. Good luck Barb

Gee; No problem......why the apology? Someone complain? Gosh if you can't brag about your kids or grandkids on here once in a while that would be no fun. Gosh everyone on here is family anyway....right people? Loved hearing your news about your son's soccer team. As a grandmother of 3, I have put in many hours on the side lines of many soccer games....some they won....but some they lost. But it was enjoyable to watch those grand kids play no matter what the outcome of the game was. Congratulations to your son's team.

Hi, I just joined this list. If someone already answered this question, please disregard. Women did not apply for their own naturalization until about 1920. (Sorry I don't have an exact date). Women would become naturalized automatically if they married an US citizen or if their father became a citizen. Women could also lose their Us Citizenship before 1920 if they married an non-citizen. -----Original Message----- From: AROCMAE@aol.com [mailto:AROCMAE@aol.com] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 11:47 AM To: PA-PITTSBURGH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PITTSBURGH] naturalization In a message dated 11/1/01 8:20:40 PM, Kro476@aol.com writes: >If I have found out that my grandmother came here in the >year 1890, where could I find out what year she became a citizen, if that >is >possible.

Victoria, >From one soccer mom to another........congratulations to your school. Sue* -------Original Message------- This is totally off topic from the list, but please allow me some motherly pride. My son's school, Chartiers Valley HS, Bridgeville PA just (an hour or so ago) won the WPIAL Class AAA Soccer championship. This is the first win for the school since 1962 . They played an excellent game against a feisty Fox Chapel team and won 1-0. They worked so hard all year and now it has paid off. We are so proud of all our boys!!!!!! On to the PIAA and the state championship. Victoria Hospodar Valentine

Please don't stop posting these obits! I realize it is a lot of work for you but have found several family members because of your work. Just wish some of the other mailing lists would do the same, especially Beaver County. Thank you, Jean Get you free email at http://www.wtvhmail.com

Got it Sue, Red Skelton

Hi Sue & Nan Got Red Skelton. I put my face in my hands and just cried and cried. So moving.. I wonder what would be Red's feelings on what is happening today? Thanks so much to both of you Barb

Hi Jill I grew up listening to Bill Burns. My mother just loved him. When 12:00 rolled around she said she had to put Bill Burns on. Watched Patti later in life. I just loved it when she would turn to her dad and said :dad: Barb

I have a question. If I have found out that my grandmother came here in the year 1890, where could I find out what year she became a citizen, if that is possible. And also where she may have arrived? If this is asking too much let me know. I have hit a brick wall. Thanks so much Virginia

BlankThe following was taken from SOMEBODY'S LINKS and since it concerns Allegheny Co., I thought I would send it to the list in the hope that it would help someone. I have no additional information beyond what was in the newsletter. Marilyn G. o I have a pension record for a person who is not my relative, James McCLELLAND. His widow was Eliza Jane McMULLEN (that was her name from her second marriage; her maiden name was ELLIS), who was living in Wilmerding, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. This record has quite a bit of information about children, marriages, etc. I am willing to send it to an interested person for the $14 I paid for it.
