Are the prices for both birth and death certificates at the state level still the same as the always has been.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Annie GRIGGS which was taken at the P. Hummler Studio in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Annie likely in her 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to find the following census information connecting to a possible match: 1910 census of Scranton, PA: Norman GRIGGS, age 52, 2nd marriage, born PA, parents born CT/NY, a Tinsmith Anna GRIGGS, wife, age 31, 1st marriage 8 years, 3 children/2 living, born PA, parents born Germany/PA Normand GRIGGS, son, age 6, born PA Mildred E. GRIGGS, dau, age 5, born PA 1920 census of Scranton, PA: Norman GRIGGS, age 63, born PA, parents born CT/PA, a Tinsmith Anna GRIGGS, wife, age 42, born PA, parents born Germany/PA Norman GRIGGS, son, age 15, born PA, a Dentist apprentice Mildred GRIGGS, dau, age 14, born PA Prescott GRIGGS, son, age 9, born PA I am hoping to locate someone from Annie's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I've "rescued" an old photograph of C. BARBER and Gertrude WEIDLICH which was taken at the F. Hummler Studio in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the two girls appearing to be about 4-6 years old at the time the photograph was taken. The first initial for the little girl BARBER appears to be a "C", however, it is hard to read so it may be different. I am hoping to locate someone from their family so that this precious old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Does anyone have any information on the marriage of Cassie (Catherine) Derrig to Francis (Frank) Reed? Catherine is the daughter of Dennis and Mary Derrig and was born about 1872. Dennis & Mary Derrig family lived in Dunmore but Reeds may have moved to Avoca. In a very stupid move on my part, I did some adjustments to my database and lost the notes portion of the record. I've been unable to locate this info on the internet. much thanks!

Received research for a death notice for James Corcoran, age 60, as follows. "He was killed January 14, 1886, at the Grassy Island Mines by being run over by cars on the plane."

This auction is for an original BUREAU OF POLICE SCRANTON, PA - CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION CARD This 8"x 8" fingerprint card has the original arrest photo, on the front, with the facts of the arrest and the arrested person fingerprints on the back. The arrested person name: THOMAS CROSBY White Male DOB:? (Was 49 in 1928) Crime: Larceny from person Arrest Date: 7-17-28 Remarks- must have been a drug. User, the card is marked "Hypo needle mks on L arm". I believe this card to be an original (hand written) fingerprint card with the original arrest photo, which was in daily police use for years (this card is discolored but it should fit nicely in any police memorabilia collection. I will mail each card for a flat rate of $2.50 (envelope- First Class) shipping and handling. Insurance is extra of course. I will combine shipping on multiple items. Please check the photo(s) and ask any questions before you bid, for I am not an expert on anything (just ask my wife), and I am going on what I have been told by others.

Grassy Island was not located in Scranton. At that time it was situated in Winton Borough, which now is called Jessup Borough. I haven't heard the term 'plane' but, unfortunately, it was common for men and boys to be run over by cars containing coal. Hope this helps. **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

Hello Susan, Welcome back!!? It is so nice to have someone who truly cares about the webpage back on board. I've been rather inactive of late because other family lines took me to different cities, but it's good to be back.? ;-) By the way, I was looking at your personal site just the other day.? I noticed the surname Slocum.? I have found my exhusbands great great grandfather living with the Slocum family in a census from about 1870 or 1880--I'd have to look it up to find exact date.? I was just curious to see if I could prove a connection between the two families.? My exhusband's grandmother was a Lanning and this would have been her grandfather.
