There is a Church on the edge of Carbon Co. by Luzerne in Beaver Meadows that records have burned, a Byzantine Church, St. Peter And Paul. Much older than their Catholic Church St. Mary's. I have not looked into it yet myself- Read about it in the Carbon journals.

Dear Betty, I may have some information for you regarding churches in Carbon Co. I did some research there 12 years ago. Unfortunately, all my files are now in my garage due to a remodeling project. But I will try to find them and send you what I have. I seem to remember that there were 2 Catholic churches of interest to me: Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's. One was in Nesquehoning and one was in Summit Hill, but I can't remember which was which. My grandmother came from those areas. I also have Crossen info, if you want it. My great great grandfather was a Crossen from Ireland. I don't have much more info on him other than the census info. I know he came from Ireland but don't know where exactly. I will try to find more infor for you as soon as I am able.

Dear Folks: If you had Scottish coal mining ancestors who came from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to the coal mines of Carbon and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania (and perhaps elsewhere), you might be interested in the following list of passengers from a photocopy of the original hand-written document: All (male and female) are listed as "miners". All were originally from Scotland and all intend to make the US their new home. Below are the names as best I could make out, with ages and sex included. Copy of Report and List of Passengers taken on board the Brig Charles Hammond of New York.bound from the Port of Sydney, Cape Breton for Boston. [Arrival date 4 June 1844.] Agnes Nu. 10 female Robert Dunn 60 male [my 4th great grandfather] Elizabeth Dunn 58 female [my 4th great grandmother] Robert Dunn Jn. 4 male [my 2nd great grandfather's older brother] Sarah Means 40 female Sarah Means 2nd 12 female James Hunter 32 male Agnes Hunter 34 female James Hunter Jn. 12 male Agnes Hunter 2nd 6 female M.nte.y Hunter 3 male John McCaa 21 male Rosina McCaa 27 female *Alex McCaa 24 male Mary McCaa 22 female Elisha McCaa 1 male Wm. Munroe 26 [?] male Rob. Munroe 24 female Margaret McVee 18 Wm. McVee 9 Louisa Fanning 16 Ellen Winter 1 *Alex McCaa later went into a coal mining partnership with my 3rd great grandfather Robert Dunn. See History of Luzerne County (by H. C. Bradsby, 1893) on the history of the McCaa family. I know the McCaas and the Dunns settled in Carbon County and attended the Beaver Meadows Church. It is likely others on the list did also. My 3rd great grandfather Robert Dunn arrived in the US a year earlier on the 31st of August 1843. However, the name of the ship is not listed. Sources: Ancestry.com.

Dear Folks: I have worked many years on my Dunn family history and I am nearly finished. I have traced them from Scotland in 1785 to Cape Breton 1830s - 1843 to Pennsylvania 1843 - 1852 to North Carolina 1852 - 1866 and back to Pennsylvania. They were coal miners and Presbyterians. In addition to the name Dunn, the line includes, Barrowman, Wilson, MacTaggart and Miller. However, I am missing 3 vital pieces of information: 1.. They attended the Beaver Meadows Church in the 1840s and 1850s but I have been unable to find baptismal records (circa 1842 and 1850) for children Mary Ann, Thomas, Janet, Elizabeth and Jane. 2.. After Thomas returned from North Carolina, he lived in the Jeanesville area and attended Audenried Church. I have been unable to fine the baptismal records (circa 1866 - 1882) for his children Margaret, Mary, Janet, Elizabeth, Isabel, Barbara, Agnes and Thomas. 3.. I have been unable to find the above family in the 1870 census. All evidence shows they lived in Jeanesville, Luzerne County at that time but attended Church in Carbon County. Does anyone know of resources I have missed? Thanks, Fred

My grandfather (Samuel Coleman) is listed as being at the "Fresh Air Camp" run by the Volunteers of America in 1910. He was only 3 years old and his mother was in Buffalo at the time. Was this a place that kids went to try and cure tuberculosis? Also, does anyone have any information on this camp? Thanks! Casey Gilliam Zgonc http://www.caseysroots.com

In the last few weeks, the Pennsylvania Archives has added some remarkable free online resources to the already-available Warrant Registers at: http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/landrec.htm "Scanned Land Records" These pages include instructions on how to search the records, and an abbreviated history behind the early process of recording the land transactions. I've been ordering these survey maps from the Archives for seven years for mapping purposes and it is truly a wonderful addition to online research to be able to avoid the cost and time of waiting for search results and photocopies of survey maps, warrants, and patents to arrive by snail mail. In addition, the Archives may, in the near future, accept volunteer help in transcribing the already easy-to-read records so in the future a database can be searched rather than having to review page-by-page hundreds (likely thousands) of pages. Possibly RootsWeb could help the Archives to organize this effort. Specifically the resources are: Warrant Registers Patent Indexes Copied Survey Books Patent Tract Name Index East Side Applications (Register) West Side Applications (Register) New Purchase Register Please pass on as I am only emailing the Pennsylvania lists pertaining to my research!
