My mother was born near Cresson PA in 1910. Her family was Polish Catholic. Her family moved to NJ in 1930. She told me stories of KKK activity around the area with cross burnings in the 1920s. What she described was the classic pictures he saw in movies and in history books. They were focused not only on black and "dark-skinned" people but also on Catholics. She said they would come up by train from the Johnstown area. Since her father had friends in NJ and there were good jobs they packed up and took the PA Railroad East and got off in New Brunswick NJ. As they say the rest is history. Bob Poppy When Diocletian became the Emperor of Rome in 284, he revised the law and essentially bypassed the Senate. He essentially gave himself full executive authority and the illusion of a Roman Republic was ended. I don't think bypassing Congress is good for the USA. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: "James Thomas Rosenbaum" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [PACAMBRI] 1930 census Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2011 05:12:28 -0500 If the cross-burning happened here locally, I believe it would have been in the newspaper since those incidences were report because I do remember them as growing up being news. They did happen locally. jim ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 07, 2011 8:58 PM Subject: [PACAMBRI] 1930 census >I have a family whose father was born in PA. the mother was born in the > Philippines. > the father is listed as white for color and race. > the mother and all children are listed what appears to be > > "neg" or "nig" > > it clearly does not look like the "W" written for white. > > I can assume it means nigro. > > > I am doing this research for a friend. he has told me that his mother and > grandmother were always dark complected due to being born in the > Philippines.
