Actually, most of my direct ancestors lived on farms--I haven't found any miners.? Most of them were farmers or lumbermen or had jobs associated with the steel industry without actually working in the mill.? One of my ggg-grandfathers, for example, was the caretaker at one of the dams.? Most of the?mining towns were located more in the central and northern parts of the county. --Debra -----Original Message----- From: lllorensen@sbcglobal.net To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 9:29 am Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Lower Yoder Twp Yes me to..I'd love to see just where our family lived must have been small mining towns. ----- Original Message ----- From: <dorner1065@aol.com> To: <padutch-life@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 8:16 AM Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Lower Yoder Twp > No, unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Tanneryville, but I wish I > did.?
