I noticed the reference to my childhood dentist, Dr. John Quinn. Dr. Quinn had a very large family. One of his sons is Monsignor Joseph Quinn, currently the pastor of St. Peter's Cathedral in Scranton. He was a lawyer who later served as a local magistrate before entering the priesthood. I credit him with the cooperation I received when looking for some baptismal and marriage records from the Cathedral. One of the younger sisters is married to a Walsh and lives on Derby Avenue on the East Mountain in the city. I went to school with a sister, Susie, but she lives in the Philadelphia area. I can't speak for individuals in this family, but perhaps a note sent to the Cathedral would elicit a response from Monsignor. He is a great guy and very active in the community. Marybeth VW

Please note a scholarship in honor of June Quinn wife of John Quinn DDS. Though this doesn't seem to tie into my QUINN it should help you further your dead end. _Click here: The University of Scranton Awards Presidential Scholarships_ (http://matrix.scranton.edu/press/pages/161.html)

Looking for information/descendants or hopefully a death date (probably 1892-1900) and obit for Julia Ann (Hudson) McGOWTY/McGOUTY. Julia was born Aug 8, 1812 in Goshen, Orange Co. NY. Married Elisha McGowty by 1840. Lived in Wayne Co. PA through 1870. In 1880, a widow, Julia was in Fell Township, Lackawanna Co. PA, living with her son Elisha. 1892 Carbondale Directory lists Julia, a widow, boarding at 9 Dickson Hill, main resident Fanny Doolittle. Guessing this could be her daughter Fanny, born abt 1849. Children of Elisha & Julia (Hudson) McGowty: Jerusha A., Margaret C., John H., Amanda L., Mary A., Fanny H., Elisha. Thanks for any clues or information, Jean (Hudson) McNamara

Thanks Sue. Gene

With the help of Jeff, we have identified some of the people in the hunting pictures, they are Harley Decker, Floyd Spedding "champ" Champion Jack Rees Melvern Spedding And Floyd B. I am 90% sure this is Floyd Battenburg. If anyone is interested just let me know these Patty

Hello, Could someone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for an obituary for Lenore (Burke) Pidgeon DOD April,14 1958. My G-Grandmother Lenore died in C'Dale. Thank You Paul Harmon

Hello listers! I'm new to the group, so I thought a brief introduction would be appropriate. My name is Jeff Thomas, and my Welsh ancestors emigrated from Brynmawr, Wales to Scranton in 1848. John J. Thomas (1823-1875/6) and his wife Elizabeth Davies (1827-1896), lived on Hyde Park avenue and are buried in Washburn Street. They raised a family of 11 children in Scranton. At least one of their sons (Daniel) was killed in the Diamond mines, and their grandson (another Daniel) was a mine casualty in 1916 and was awarded the Carnegie medal for heroism. My other Welsh/Scranton ancestors include William C. Williams (1818-1888) and family from Bedwelty parish in Monmouthshire, and Civil War soldier George Hares (1838-1867), all buried at Washburn street. I have a couple of web sites dedicated to Brynmawr and Scranton. My Brynmawr, Wales site features quite a lot of town history, and several sets of records that should be of interest to family researchers. My site on Scranton features some history, a database of Washburn street burials, and information on the Avondale Disaster. A theme running through both sites is the close connection between Brynmawr and surrounding communities and Scranton. I hope to enjoy many pleasant conversations here and look forward to chatting with you all. Sincerely, Jeff Thomas Baltimore, MD Brynmawr, Wales http://thomasgenweb.com/brynmawr.html Thomas Genweb/Scranton http://thomasgenweb.com/thomas01.html

I am new to this list and would like to hear from anyone who is researching the surname BRACALI. This is my husbands family and I have just started my research so I do not have much information. Any information would help. Thanks in advance.

My grandfather Frank Williams was a pvt. in co B 13 inf P.N.G from 1913 to 1915 at which time he joined the army. He joined the 13th in Scranton PA. Can anyone tell me what kind of company it was ? ( Rifle, M.G., Transport, etc. ) I am looking for a very short history about the 13th in general, and co B specificly, to add to Frank's personal history folder. Thank You Very Much Art Williams
