I am beginning to think my Martin BURST of Luzerne is connected with the BORSTs of Lackawanna. In particular, one Benjamin BORST. Does anyone have any information on either of these surnames? Thanks, Vince Summers

The CAREY people listing has me curious if anyone knows of Permelia Carey, daughter of John Carey and second wife of ANTHONY LANCE. Permelia was born August 1874 in Dalton, PA. She married Anthony in Waverly on Sept 02, 1899. Anthony had children by his marriage to Emma E. Decker, but had three girls with Permelia: Charlotte b 1902 in Dalton. She married Harry Hanyon Bernice b 1903 who married a Mr. Kelly and Hazel born 1906 in Falls Twp. who married a Mr. Flynn. Anthony died in 1931 and is buried in Nicholson Cemetery. Permelia contracted cancer and died in 1933. Her obit states that her granddaughter JUNE QUINN was at her home in Nicholson but so far I have not been able to track down who June was. Would anyone know of Permelia, her dauthers or of my LANCE family? Thank you, and especially to Rich Reese who has for a long long time been a gift from heaven in my seemingly endless search for my family. Laurence Lance Seattle

The source material was his obit in the Scranton Times. Many burials of that era were marked by small numbered stones which were torn up and discarded by that infamous previous owner. If you believe that he was the owner of the plot, you might wish to contact the present owners of the cemetery. They do have a wall map in their office which might be of help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Curly" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 5:00 PM Subject: Re: [PA-LAC] Dodge Colliery <snip> wondering if you could answer this question?
