Hi Donna My family is also from Hyde Park. Many were miners. There was a shaft for the Pa Coal Company towards the Keyser Ave. at the end of Jackson St. Very long ago ca: 1885-90 there was a "toll gate" at the end of Jackson Street what would be about 2700 Jackson. When my father was small, the family lived at 15th Ave. at the corner of Fellows Street, toward the West Mountain you could see the breaker. The "field" is now covered with homes and the West Scranton (Jr?) HS. There was also the Oxford Mine. I think this mine was around what is now Main Ave. at around Lafayette. I'm not too sure on that.

Since many of my ancestors are Irish, I was intrigued by the subject of this email I received recently. I don't know the sender and it was emailed to an address I don't use much anymore. So, although curious, I scanned it with Norton first and found that the file attached to the email contained a virus. I wanted to share this on this list because I know many others might be interested enough to try to open the attachment. The header showed the address as Ed Malia@prodigy.net.mx, but when I hit 'reply,' the address showed up as --- "Ed Malia <Ed@yahoo.com>, UNEXPECTED_DATA_AFTER_ADDRESS@.SYNTAX-ERROR."

Hi: My Walsh ancestors lived on Washburn St. across from the cemetery. My grandmother lived there when she was a kid. My grandmother always said she was from the Hyde Park section of Scranton. According to the old Walsh Bible records, her father and his brothers worked in The Continental Mines. Hope this helps. Sincerely: Mike Cavanaugh Buffalo, NY

Garthe: Dunmore and olyphant were part of Luzerne County until 1878. The Latter Day Saints microfilmed deed and index books from the Luzerne County courthouse. These books cover 1787-1901 and 1780-1907, respectively. The microfilm copies can be ordered through local Family History Centers. Deeds are crossindexed against both the name of the purchaser ("grantee") and seller ("grantor") of property. By searching both indexes for your ancestor you should be able to determine both when the land was purchased and then sold. The indexes will point you to the correct deed books and page numbers. The deeds themselves usually contain a description of the land. Modern descriptions (and landmarks) may not apply. You might be able to identify the location of the property by tracing the subsequent exchanges of the property in the deed books down to the present time (this can be very tedious-- and time consuming). I was able to find the deeds for ancestors that lived in Newton Township in the early 19th century (which was then a part of Exeter) in this way. It was interesting to see how much was paid for land at that time. Check out the holdings of the FHC at: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titlefilmnotes&columns=*%2C180%2C0&titleno=228810&disp=Deeds%2C_1787-1901%2C_indexes_to_deeds%2C_1780 Also, check for a will in the will indexes. I found a better description of the property in my gr(3)-grandfather's will than was present in the deed. The will described boarders of the land relative to who were his neighbors. Good Luck.

I believe my father worked for the Hudson Coal Company at one time. I also have a picture of the operating personnel of the Penn Anthracite Collieries Co. dated 9/46 with names and a picture of the DL&W Coal Department auditors dated 3/24/1920 (my grandfather is in that last picture).

Hi Listers..... Every now and then, few and far between, I'll post an invitation to visit our homepage, and to read something really SPOOKY and EERIE that we discovered in our family research. It's something that EVERY true family researcher will marvel at, and to this day it still remains very spooky to even us. Visit our homepage at: http://www.geocities.com/rohnmacht/index.html and scroll down and click on " OUR SPOOKY STORY" link. Also, there are some resources that we have that might be of interest to some. Thanks....Ron Ron & Tammy Ohnmacht Concord, North Carolina 28025 Email: yankee@iocnet.net

Hello Everyone: I have my great uncle, George Parry, working at the Hudson Coal Company in Olyphant, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, on November 02, 1936. However, the address is not completely legible. It looks like ?idy Creek Colliery. Does anyone have the correct address and anything about the company? In Christ I Am, Ron Powell Nunda Livingston County New York

Hi Ron, According to the 1909 Report of the Department of Mines - Anthracite; the Second Anthracite District (I don't know what the district boundaries are) shows the following collieries for the Delaware and Hudson Company: 1) Olyphant 2) Legitts Creek 3) Eddy Creek 4) Marvine None of the other districts covering Lackawanna had any D&H collieries with "creek" in the name. I hope this helps.

Interested in finding any HARTMAN(N) info. My Casimir b 1841 Odernheim, Bavaria, GER, emigrated 1850/51. Casimir was in Scranton by 1865 when he married Sarah Ann TRANSUE in Zion Lutheran Ch. They had 4 children: Ida Mae John Wm. Geo. Lewis. Edwin Peter (my line) m Eva Mackey TURNER dau. of Franklyn Varney TURNER Casimir had a brother, Jacob b 1826 Bavaria, GER, and there was a Jacob HARTMAN as a witness to Casimir's wedding so am assuming this was his brother. Casimir emigrated at the age of 9/10 so must have come with an older sibling. Anyone have any info on a Jacob Hartman?? I have found a Casimir Hartman in the 1850 census of Mount Pleasant, Wayne Co., PA living with the John/Barbara Hartman family. The Casimir shown is the correct age and he did have a brother named Johann. Also, Johannes MEYER b Westphalia, GER 1833 to US age 20 d 1908 and Dorothea (MIRTZ) d 1910, both born in GER (both buried in Pittston Ceme. and belonged to the Hickory Str. Presbyterian Ch.) who had dau. Carolena Augusta b 1859 m Franklyn Varney TURNER in Scranton. Know absolutely nothing more re MIRTZ. Meyer's lived on Cedar Ave., Scranton and he was connected with the Nay Aug Tribe of Red Men # 140, and the Odd Fellow's branch No 413 or 418? Any info appreciated.

Does anyone know the name of the coal mine found in the Hyde Park section of Scranton? My Price relatives walked there from Jackson Street. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Eddy Creek was in the Smoketown area of Olyphant off South Valley Avenue near the Throop town line. It has not been in operation for the past 50 or so years. Jack

Hello All, Was wondering if anyone has had experience with getting land records and /or deeds for the 1800's. I recently acquired some family documents and in it is described when the family moved into the Lackawanna Valley and resided on a farm that was located "on the back road leading from Dunmore to Olyphant." Does this "back road" still exist??? This would have been around 1830. The land owner would have been Michael D. Benjamin. Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Dear List: I need some help with my Kembel relatives in PA. My great grandfather was David Kembel and he married Lydia Wert and they had my grandfather, Daniel Kembel (also spelled Kemble in several places). I have been told that my great grandfather's and great grandmother's families were from Holland but David and Lydia were born in Northumberland County in PA. In a book about the Kembles in America I found that David Kembel was 35 in the 1850 census of Northumberland County and Lydia Wert was 33. That would mean David was born about 1815. I have been given some conflicting information about David and Lydia. In the Kembel book it indicates David and Lydia had 5 children (Daniel W, Sarah, Catherine, Elizabeth and Mary). The information I received elsewhere was that David and Lydia Wirth had 6 children (Sarah, Daniel, Catherine, Elizabeth, Mary and Harriet). This Kembel family has roots in Germany. The dates of birth for the children are similiar to what I have. However, they list Daniel as being buried in Stone Valley Church Cemetery and I know that my Daniel is buried in City Cemetery in Wilkes Barre. Is there anyone out there who could help me with this family? I have hit a brick wall beyond David and Lydia in my Kembel family. Thanks so much.
