Hi , Does anyone know if it is possible to get a Social Security application on someone who never collected? I received my grandfather in-laws death certificate. There is a Social Security number on it but he died in 1943 so would never have collected and is therefore not on the death list. Would his application still be on file? Carol

Dear group, what kind of information can we expect to find on the SSI app? Laurence Seattle

for the person researching manley.. i wonder if mary b manley was on their list.. joe in north dakota

Dear Jack, I also teach in the Scranton School district. To the best of my knowledge, the only old records of any school in the district would have to be found in the Administration Building on Washington Avenue. I don't know how far back they go or if the very old ones were ever microfilmed. Madison, which was an elementary school and also at one time the Scranton Tech Annex, became an Intermediate School back in the early 1970's. According to district policy the records of graduates are transferred to the Ad Building because there is simply nowhere to store them in the schools themselves. You would have to inquire there.

I am doing research on my husband's great grandmother Francesca Tromba, she died 9/8/1935. I have a receipt from J.B. Graziano Funeral home in Carbondale, PA It is no longer in business- I know this is a real strech, but is Greg Graziano related to J. B.

Dear list, Looking for any descendants, info, etc...of John MANLEY and Mary LAVELLE. I believe that they were married before 1900. I know that Mary was born in 1868. I know that in 1936 they were in Dunmore, PA. Anything else would be great... Thank you, Dave _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

>From another list: If you have been procrastinating sending off for a Social Security application for any of your ancestors, now is the time to do it! Effective July 1, 2001, there will be a major fee increase for processing requests for copies of original applications for Social Security cards and for computer extracts of this information. This has been confirmed with Roger Williams in the FOIA office of the SSA. New Fees (effective July 1, 2001): Copies of the original application for a Social Security card (Form SS-5) will cost $27 if the social security number is provided, and $29 if it is not provided. These fees were previously $7 and $16.50, respectively. Computer extracts of the application will cost $16 with the number and $18 without. Requests postmarked prior to July 1, 2001, will not be subject to the new fees. So, if you've procrastinated on your requests, get them in now! Requests posted on or after July 1, 2001, will be returned if they do not include the new amount and a credit card number has not been provided to charge for additional costs.

Hello: I spent some time at our FHC researching the new LDS 1880 census CDs. They are pretty neat! Keep in mind when you are searching these, that multiple chances for errors exist: (1) errors made by the census takers back in 1880; (2) errors made by transcribers in modern day. These CDs provide typewritten results including BOTH the LDS film number and the National Archives film number. Your ancestors may NOT be listed under the given names or surnames you would expect. For example, I found the following surnames: STRINGHAM listed as STINGHAM (no "R") TATTON listed as TABBSON SENTER listed as SOUTER If you can't find your relative, DON'T GIVE UP! Try searching other ways. Try searching by FIRST NAME (only). For example, to find my SENTER family, I searched all three "S" CD's for any persons with the first name of Harriet or Riley living in the State of California. (It didn't take long since these were CDs). Also, don't forget initials. For example, Cornelius TATTON was listed as C. TABBSON. To find him, I had to search for the first name of VARIOUS members of his family. Start your search of first names with the most uncommon given name. Good luck in your searches. Don't give up!

Maybe your good friend Joe Bryer can give us a software program to enter all the data with. Can you approach him on it. I used to be a data entry person with GRSNP (and am still a member).

I, too, live in Maryland but have many ancestors buried in Cathedral Cemetery. I get to Scranton occasionally and would be happy to help out with this project. _____________________________________ Get your free E-mail at http://www.ireland.com

Anne, I think what u are suggested is great and long overdue. I am sure many researchers will benefit from the combined efforts. I live in Maryland and try to get to Scranton whenever possible to do my research. Most of my Irish ancestors were Catholic from Co Mayo and their surnames are quite common so out of necessity I am using the vacuum cleaner approach in hopes of narrowing down the SULLIVAN, GERRITY, WALTON, COLEMAN, CUMMINGS, SHEA, etc in my direct line. When the weather is nice and usually early in the morning before the county court house, church offices,etc I try to use my time and walk the various cemeteries. I did not devise a systematic method of walking when I first started but I did decide to copy any tombstones that had info re birth, death dates, those with places of birth and any unique tombstones that I came across figuring somewhere along the line there will be a fellow researcher looking for the info. I have walk Cathedral cemetery a couple of times, St. Mary's Cemetery in Dunmore,( I have not walked the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Dunmore ..Yet;) I have also walked St. Joseph's in Minooka, St. Mary's in Ledgedale, Queen of Peace in Hawley, St. Catherine in Moscow and the IHM Catholic Nuns plots in St. Catherine's in Moscow; St. Rose of Lima in Carbondale. Needless to say the data is only Partial of the cemeteries involved and there is much to be done. My posting of Cathedral contains approximately 600 entries. I have posted them to the Pennsylvania Tombstone Transcription Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/pennsylvania/index_lackawanna.html and to Lisa Carey at http://www.rootsweb.com/~pawayne/ and Alaine Keisling at http://www.geocities.com/chezalaine/genealogy/records/cem-cathedral.html I have also provided the information to our good friend Joe BRYER of the GRSNP. Anne, I think the effort is a very worthwhile effort and I will gladly help in anyway that I can. Go for it Regards, Walt Walton J.

Ruth Ann You may have seen the list of Avondale Victims on the site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~paluzern/township/cemetery/avondale-washburn.htm I do not see David James listed as being buried at Washburn. I have a book with the complete fatality list. I do not see a David James, but there is a David Jones. Could this be a misspelling? I have a Peter H. James in my family (Born in Wales, lived and died in Scranton) any connection? If you would like to see the page, I will scan and send it to you. Or I can give you the book info.

Also could you do St. Mary's Cem. I have some information on my families buried there. The church is not very cooperative. Lenora from Wisconsin
