Max FEUERSTEIN and his family lived next door to Fred and Mary MADOUSE in the 1910 census. Fred was the brother of my great-grandfather, Henry MADOUSE. I was hoping to find info on the MADOUSE family via the FEUERSTEINs. If you need the info from that census, let me know. Just email me at [email protected]

Geri, so nice of you to post all of the wonderful things you do. You mentioned the name Price. I am trying to solve a family mystery. My family insists that my gr.grandmother was half Portuguese and half Native American. Since your posting is in the region that I am researching, I thought maybe we have a link.This is the information I have. William Fratis b. 1847, married Mary A. Price b 1851. William was of Portuguese heritage, born in PA but parents were from Ireland according to the 1900 census in Philadelphia. Mary A. Price was born in PA, as were her parents, according to the 1900 census. Their daughter Anna Augusta Dorothea Fratis b. 1882 in PA was their daughter and my gr.grandmother. She died in 1944. William aparently died because we find Anna who is now married to John Rhoads b. 1884 living in New Castle DE with Mary A. Curtis, John's mother in law. I have no idea who Mary's parents are or where in PA they are from. Does any of this ring a bell for you?

Surnames: Naratil, Mooney Classification: Cemetery Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QdB.2ACI/2470.1 Message Board Post: There is a small cemetery between Palmerton and Bowmanstown on Fireline Road. Two years ago I had occasion to go to Palmerton and visit with a cousin of mine. As an Uncle of ours who died around 1904-1906 in infancy is supposedly buried in this cemetery, we took a quick trip to check it out. It is very small and was created somwhere around 1890 and in use until possibly 1913 or so. Not many tombstones and some have only 2 initials on them. Could not find our Uncle's though. If anyone is trying to locate it, it is located next to 601 Fireline Road and directly across the street from Engle Concrete Works. My GPS until places it at N40 degrees 48' 23.2" and W75 degrees 39' 37.8" or in fractions of degrees 40.80644N 75.66049W. I can supply a JPG map of the location if anyone would like one.. I would say there are around 15 to 20 marked graves. I understand that there were a number of unmarked graves, including my uncle. Some of them are Hungarian. I should have written down some more information, but it was getting a little late in the day and we had to get home before dinner time as my wife had evening plans. Apparently the people living at the 601 Fireline address were mowing the weeds, etc. since it adjoins their property. And no, I don't have a name. There are no visible markings or fence around the gravesite. Just a plot of land about 18 feet by 25 feet. Not very big. I checked with Rev. Ward at the Palmerton Sacred Heart Church about the cemetery. Their records only go back to 1908, but he said that the cemetery was cared for by the pastors of the Catholic Churches in Slatington and Lehighton. I then wrote to Rev. Grembocki at Assumption B.V.M. Church in Slatington. One of his assistants called me on 3/1/2002 and told me that their records only go back to 1906. Before that it was under SS Peter & Paul Church in Lehighton. I was unable to contact anyone in Lehighton. I can also supply jpg pictures of this cemetery, if desired. By the way, I am a native of Palmerton, attended S. S. Palmer High until 1948. Then went to Bordentown Military Institute and graduated in 1950.

How old was the church. Did it have a cemetery? I'm looking for the grave of Jacob Frantz who died abt 1762, possibly in the Lower Towamensing Twp. area which is where he had a land warrant. It is possible that he was killed by the Indians. -- __________Nancy J.
