Hi ken, I know this is a long shot. Do you have an George I. WASHBURN in your tree? George was born in 1877 and died 1951. He was married to Anna CAINES, who was born 6/19/1885 and died 12/21/1976. They resided in Winton, Lacka. Co., Pa. They had the following children: Norman, Florence, George, David and Mary Jane. Any help on this family (descendents/ancestors), would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Deb

Hi Verna, Saw your posting regarding Patrick Boland. My grandfather was Patrick Joseph (PJ) Boland. He was born in l879 and died 80 years later on his birthday. (1959) He was born in Carbondale, the son of Nancy MULHOLLAND and Patrick BOLAND.. He had quite a few siblings but none of them married. He married Anna V. O'MALLEY in l905 and had 3 children: John (Jack), Margaret, and my mother, Anna. After my grandmother died he remarried Helen and had one more son, again named John who died in World War II. He lived on N. Irving Ave. in Scranton and had a store on Mulberry St. I have been trying so hard to straighten out my ggrandmother's (Margaret WALSH O'MALLEY) history that I haven't had much time to follow the Boland line back in time. Family lore said that the first BOLAND to emigrate was Thomas who was from Connecticut. I haven't verified any of this. I don't believe there is any connection but I will save your post in case I find out more. Toni Elmira, NY

Verna, I don't remember seeing the thread on Patrick Boland, but did get the response to someone named Toni. I have a Patrick Boland, b 10 Mar 1853 in IRL m 10 Oct 1890 in Pittston PA to my Mary Donaghue Gilligan. Patrick reported in 1890 he had been a widower for two years. He died 16 Sep 1921 in Bristol CT; his obituary indicates he left two sons from his first marriage, John Boland of New York City and Thomas Boland of California. Any connection? Sharon McLaughlin Gowen

Hello List, Could a kind soul look in the 1910 Scranton city directory for me. I'm trying to locate MICHAEL J. SIZE. I can't seem to find him in the 1910 census and I'm sure he was in Scranton in 1910. I located him in the 1900, 1920, and the 1930 census for Scranton. Thanks in advance for any help.

I live in Virginia and a few years ago I was able to request the mircofilms of the Archbald Citizen through interlibrary loan from the Harrisburg State Library. They have 5 different roles of film with papers from 1898 to 1910. If your library participates in interlibrary loan they should be able to get them for you. Rosemary

Hay Richard, Can I do the interlibrary loan & have them print me an obituary? My Library won't order the film I need. Said microfilm is too expensive to replace.

Hi Toni My ggrandmother was Mary Ann Boland Teevan born 9/1859 in Scranton. She is the daughter of Michael Boland and Julia O'Connor (ell). Mary Ann had a brother Patrick. I wonder if your Patrick is the same one. Verna Researching: Goodrick (h), Wilson,Taylor, Knight (Baltimore) Teevan (Ireland, PA, MD); McManus, McKeon, McGena (Ireland) Dickinson (England, MD, PA)

Jim, the paper is at the Carbondale Library. I did get the loan from the Scranton one... but they have them, or most of them in Carbondale. Are you able to get there? Good luck! Carol Heppner http://carolheppner.gq.nu http://petrone.8k.com

This service is still available from the PA State Library in Harrisburg, their web address is http://www.statelibrary.state.pa.us/libraries/site/default.asp , so you can still get what you are looking for. Use the catalog search feature, select the guided search tab, enter the word "newspapers" and the location (city or county) to get a list of what years and titles are available. Albright Memorial, as far as I know, has never permited their films to go out on loan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 2:14 PM Subject: Re: [PA-LAC] Fw: [OBITL] PA--LACKAWANNA--TAYLOR--- MARGARET ANNE( THOMAS )HOWELLS > Hello Sheri, > > Not sure if anyone responded to you about obituaries.

Hello Sheri, Not sure if anyone responded to you about obituaries. When I was looking for obituaries, I used a service that was offered by the library in Scranton- The Albright Memorial Library. They have something called interlibrary loan. In looking at it today, it seems they have changed the service only for Pennsylvania residents. This is disappointing to me because I live in New Jersey.

Hello, A few months back, I inquired at the Scranton Public Library abqut obtaining the microfilm for the Archbald Citizen. The request was never filled. Has anyone had any luck viewing the papers? I may try requesting the films at the University of Scranton, which has longer viewing hours. Thank you, Jim __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

Thanks so much Sue for the information on Margaret Walsh O'Malley. I guess I didn't do "wild card" searches and missed her in l900! Also I didn't know she lived in New York State....thought she came directly to PA. This gives me something else to work on. Toni
