The short story: Three LANTZ brothers from Speyer, Bavaria - and later seen as LANTS and more recent as LANCE people came to Philadelphia Oct of 1738. Shortly there after they moved upriver to Walnut Valley NJ between Blairstown and Hainesburg. By, and likely befor, 1870 or so at least some of the family had moved West across the river from Walnut Valley, NJ to the Scranton - Clarks Green - Nicholson areas. I've traced marriages to BROWN, STAGE, CAREY, DECKER and SICKLER. Still much to learn and records are hard to find. Scharlet Brown b 1835 and died leaving many children circa 1865 to 1870 married William Lance b abt 1820 died unknown time and place though he was in the Scranton area 1871- could be seen as LANTS or LANTZ. William's eldest son, ANTHONY LANCE b 1852 Blairstown, NJ d 1931 Nichlson, PA married Emma E. DECKER. The divorced in 1897 - this one has been a real problem because no further information appears for EMMA after the divorce. NUTS!! ANTHONY remarried about 1898 to PERMELIA CAREY who died 1933 of cancer. It appears she lived in Nicholson after his death and one daughter is listed in PERMELIA's obit as married into the QUINN family. No idea who these folks are either. Most of the LANCE folks in Clarks Green Cemetery are my kin but here too I've not been able to find living relations. I also have LANCE people in Shady Lane - just my luck..not much there either on records. I am at present without knowldege of a living LANCE relation though I am sure some must exist in PA somewhere. I have several photos circa 1856 to likely 1880 of people I think are my LANCE kin but so far unable to identify any of these people. Any help very much appreciated from anyone who might know of my people. Thanks to all. Laurence Lance Seattle

My grandmother had a sister, Laura Edith Mary Smith, who married a gentleman called Alfred Ernest Halestrap in 1899 in Kilburn, London, England. They had a son on 28 November 1901 called Alfred. Sadly, Laura died two weeks after the birth. I have no knowledge of what happened to Alfred, but noticed on the US SS Death Index that there was an Alfred Halestrap born on 289 November 1901 and wondered whether this was the same person. If anyone can help me in my quest to piece together my grandmother's family and can make any connection with my grandmother's nephew I would be very pleased to hear from them.

Dear List, I am new to this list and this is my first post. I have good reason to believe that my immigrant ancestor Andrew Prok/Prock came first to Pennsylvania before settling in the coal region of Ohio. He came about 1893 from the Austria-Hungary Empire. They listed their ethnicity as Hungarian but my g grandfather always refered to himself as a Slovak. They were coal miners which leads me to my the question, were there any slovak mining communities in Pennsylvania in the late 1800's and early 1900's? This would give me a clue as to where to start looking. Thank you in advance for your help. Kent Elam
