Good Morning! Joyce and the Tri-Counties volunteers have done a wonderful job of putting up census records at http://www.rootsweb.com/~patioga/cengrid.htm However, below is a site that you may not have used, that covers some of the adjoining counties. It is located in Australia as some of our families moved there. I found links to some of my relatives that I had never found elsewhere! the 1850 Census is very easy to search by last name, etc. The main page for the "Northeastern Pennsylvania Family History & Genealogical Data" is at: http://www.dsdata.com.au/genealogy/nepa.html Covering the counties of Wayne and Susquehanna; with adjoining areas: portions of the counties of Luzerne (Lackawanna), Pike and Wyoming in Pennsylvania, Broome and Delaware counties in New York. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST is the 1850 Census Data of Northeastern Pennsylvania at: http://www.dsdata.com.au/genealogy/nepa/census1850index.html Covering: Luzerne - 4,300; Pike (complete) - 5,800; Susquehanna - 24,100; Wayne (complete) - 21,900 and Wyoming - 700. Happy searching! Bill Benson Son of Bradford

I want to thank all of the subscribers and volunteers to this list with a special thanks to Pat at Erin, NY. I went to my mail box yesterday and did I have a surprise. I had a letter from Pat and enclosed in it with a short note were five photcopied sheets of material of my Grandfather Carson brother's wedding. These included a copy of the marriage certificate, signatures in the guests book, and the wedding announcement. The marriage took place in 1908. The guest book contained signatures of my grandparents, and several of his brothers and sisters. What a treasure! Thank again. It was trhough one fo the roll calls on this list that I posted and Pat saw my post and wrote me. Thanks again Pat and for all your work in Erin.
