This is an obit I found recently, and I think it is the same Smith family I was looking for from St. Boniface, but I am not sure it is the same family as that of "Hettie" Smith. Any further information about any of the Smith family--Alive or Deceased-- would be appreciated. Johnstown Tribune Democrat, July 1, 1911 SMITH -- Laverne, 82, Johnstown, formerly of Hastings, died June 29, 2001. Born February 22, 1929, in St. Boniface, daughter of the late John and Isabell (McClelland) Smith. Preceded in death by sisters, Della, Isabell, Susan and Beatrice; and brothers, John and Ivan. Survived by sister, Barbara (Tom) Donahue, California; and brothers, William (Rita); and Thomas "Pork"(Dorothy) Emeigh. She retired from Bethlehem Steel. At the request of the deceased, there will be no visitation or service. Easly Funeral Home, Hastings, is in charge of arrangements.

P. Miller Samuel and Della Jane Smith lived in St. Boniface and Patton. He was a miner. The Millers lived in the St. Boniface parish and area, too. I didn't know what nationality they were. One of their children died recently, I will find the obit and sent. I don't know if this is the same family, but a Smith married my mom's cousin, Paul Woods, originally from Clearfield County near Westover and they lived in Patton. The RR --which still operates--ran from Westover thru Patton to Bradley Junction and then to Cresson and the Mainline, so lots of the Westover people came to Patton, that being about 1893. I am starting to look at the Patton Paper now and found some things. There were many English, Irish, Scots--all English speaking--who were miners and since they were experienced, they became foremen. Hastings and St. Boniface were the first Cambria County mines, and when the owners built new mines, they talked the experienced men into moving on. Same with the Cambria Iron Company before the Civil War. They wanted not only iron workers, but miners to dig the coal and the ore in the mountains around Johnstown. Traced down some English miners who were recruited to come to Johnstown.. I sent your e-mail to a new Miller descendant today. Sent you a copy. I think you found the right Smith family. Philip's son, Philip L. [probably Louis for my g-grandfather married to Philip P's sister, Elizabeth] moved back to the Luzerne County area.

But I some checking on it, and what Rainalda wrote. I agree with all the info she wrote (info from Miller family), but I don't have any info about Henrietta's parents. I tried looking for George and Roseanna with a daughter Henrietta, but can't find anything. But I just searched for Henrietta again and found 1860 census, Westmoreland County August 23, 1860 George Smith age 44, born England Mary, 36, b England Thomas, 17, born Virginia Margaret, 15, born PA William, 12, born PA Frank, 10, PA George, 5, PA Victor, 3, PA Henrietta, 6/12, PA For Samuel and Della Jane, I found a few censuses for Samuel and Jane. Can you give me their approximate birth years and what county they may have lived in?

This was lecture 17 of 24 in Yale University history class 202, European Civilization, 1648-1945. Under the video was the link: complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: http://open.yale.edu/courses There are 20 departments listed with at least one course per department. The History department is represented with 6 courses. I'm going with the idea that the majority of us have at least a passing interest in history as part of our genealogy research. These classes can be viewed on YouTube under YaleCourses, or at the Yale edu website. HIST 116 The American Revolution HIST 119 The Civil War and Reconstruction HIST 202 European Civilization, 1648-1945 HIST 234 Epidemics and Western Society Since 1600 HIST 251 Early Modern England ... under the Tudors and Stuarts HIST 276 France Since 1871 Click on any class heading and under each individual class is a download section, which will allow you to watch or download each lecture as a QT (QuickTime) movie or mp3 file. According to their website, tuition is $40,500 a year, and we've been given the opportunity to audit these classes for free. There may be other universities that also offer these educational opportunities, but Yale is the first one I've come across. ------------------------------ To contact the PACAMBRI list administrator, send an email to [email protected] To post a message to the PACAMBRI mailing list, send an email to [email protected] __________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the email with no additional text.
