Last Saturday I purchased an old photo album at a distant relative's yard sale in Bangor, PA. It was owned by a Lobb family member whose wife was a Speer. I thought it would contain mostly pictures of people in the Bangor area, but there were plenty of photographer's marks from the Scranton area. Most of the pictures were unidentified, but a couple had names on the back. If anyone has any information on any of these people, I'd be interested in finding connections, and I can scan and email photos of the identified to anyone who has an interest. Below is a listing of the photos with marks or IDs on them: No. Identification. [Photogrpahy Studio]. 1. Dr. Q. E. Snyder 3. No ID. [Taken by S. B. Hoffmeier, SW Corner Center Square, Easton, PA] 6.

Laurence, Coincidently, I was doing some research on a family and came across a Mary J. Lance, born in 1859 in Walnut Valley, NJ. The marriage license states her parents were William and Sharlet Lance. She married Colvin Freeman, born in 1853 in Mt. Pleasant, Wayne County, PA, son of Obadiah and Hannah Freeman, on 3 July 1890 at Moscow, Lackawanna County, PA by Franklin Latouche, Justice of the Peace. It states "parents all dead" Also Colvin was married prior to a Jennie ______ ? who died 4 Aug 1888 You will find Colvin and Mary in Roaring Brook Twp in 1900 and 1910 census. In 1920 Colvin is in Moscow listed as a widower. The FREEMAN family is connected to the SHEERER and BEAVERS families that are connected to my KIZER family. I hope this helps. Faye Kizer Robbins Taylor, PA

Would have liked to read the Digest but all I got was: ........................

Yes, Walter H. is my first cousin, twice removed. He was the son of John I. Lance and Matilda. John was the son of William Lance who I very much think became William Lannce. It's my bet that after Charlotte died it was pretty much the end for William. To his credit William managed to keep the family together, which in itself was a minor miracle and a major undertaking.? I think William kind of hung on to life and did the best he could but it's my guess his debts overtook him and I'll bet he was on the run on that account....course it could have been something else he was running from, but it's my guess he was out of money. My data shows Ruth born May 21, 1905, passed Sept of 1992 and married to Floyd R. Hallock of unknown dates or parents. No children known for this couple.

Thanks to all of you, I will be watching the Sean Connery movie, The Molly Maguires, this weekend. Ordered it from Netflix. My GreatGrandfather, John Mahon/Maughan was a Breaker Boss in the early 1900's in coalmines around Scranton. My Grandfather, James Mahon was also a coal miner. Does anyone know of any employee records for the mines during that period? How 'bout the names of the mines? Wondering... Rita

Thank you; that would be great if you can connect me to Gallaghers. Margie

The Scranton Times Wednesday, November 1926 Prof. Firmin Swinnen Plays in St. Patrick's Private Organist for Pierre DuPont, of Wilmington, Del., Will Give Concert Dec 8 Prof. Firmin Swinnen, Belgian-American organist, who is to preside at the new organ of St. Patrick's church on the evening of Dec. 8, comes to Scranton with an international reputation. Prof. Swinnen was admitted to the Royal conservatory in Antwerp at the age of seventeen and graduated in 1906 with great honors. Among the honors gained by Prof. Swinnen was the winning of the "Prix Callaerts" awarded by the late Joseph Callaerts, professor at the conservatory and for a time teacher of Mr. Swinnen. His other teachers were Paul Gilson, Emile Wambach, and Jan Blox. Professor Swinnen holds the diploma for organists-choirmasters of the Ecole de Musique de Malines, which was founded by Jacques Lemens, the famous organist. During a most successful concert tour of England, Prof. Swinnen has had an opportunity of playing on practically all the famous organs of that country, giving 260 recitals in less than one year. Coming to America in 1916, he was one of the first organists to preside over a concert organ in a theater. He wrote five books of original compositions call "The Theater Organist," also composing the now famous "Chinoiserie." In 1920 Prof. Swinnen was the first to play Widor's Fifth Symphony with an orchestra at the Rivoli theater, New York, with a spectacular pedal cadenza of his own. Later he went to Philadelphia and at present is private organist for Pierre S. DuPont, of Wilmington, Del. Admission to the organ recital at St. Patrick's church will be by ticket only. The tickets are at present being distributed by members of the Blessed Virgin Sodality.

Does anyone have any information on St. Patrick's Church or the donor of the pipe organ? West Side Paper December 7, 1926 Program Arranged for St. Patrick's Recital New Organ Will Be Opened Wednesday by Prof. Swinnen, Belgian-American Organist The music lovers of the city are greatly interested in the organ recital to be given at St. Patrick's church by Prof. Firmin Swinnen, Belgian-American organist, tomorrow evening at 8:15 o'clock.

Widor is one of the greatest of modern organ composers. Berceuse (Cradle Song) Clarence Dickinson Clarence Dickinson is organist of the Brick Prebyterian church in New York. In this composition, he has caught the true spirit of a "Berce." Natural, flowing, .. music is supported by a . accompaniment. Menuet in D M. A. Mozart The menuet is taken from one of Mozart's . Ave Maria F. Schubert One of those immortal melodies which only Schubert could write. Toccata and Fugue in D J. S. Bach Considered as one of this composer's most brilliant writings. Reccita. and . of an elevated character punctuate the course of the Toccata. The main theme of the Fuge is a dramatic figure and developed as Bach only knew how. At the end the composition assumes the character of a fantasia and ends in impressive chorus. The Swan C. Saint Saens A particular popular composition. The melody is played by the cello, while there is heard a shifting, realness accompaniment. (a) Humoresque A. Dvorak (b) Serenade F. Schubert May Night S.

This was in the Scranton Times: Man who saw bomber crash seeks kin of soldier killed BY BILL WAGNER STAFF WRITER 08/26/2007 Email to a friendPrinter-friendly A resident of Switzerland who endured World War II under Nazi occupation in Holland is seeking relatives of an Old Forge airman, Americo A. Crespolini, who died when his bomber was shot down. More than 60 years ago as a young Dutch schoolboy, John Meurs watched in horror as an American heavy bomber crashed behind his house in the village of Apeldoom. It was Sunday, Nov. 26, 1944. Mr. Meurs has been researching the deadly day in Army Air Force history when Crespolini was killed. In an e-mail, he asked The Times-Tribune for help locating family members of the long-dead airman so he can give them details of the event. Mr. Meurs, though only age 9 at the time, remembers well how the U.S. 8th Air Force, which he still calls "the Mighty Eighth," sent more than 1,000 bombers into the skies over Europe that day. It was, he recalls, Thanksgiving Sunday in Holland, though the Nazis occupied the country. The bombers' target was a synthetic fuel plant near Misburg, Germany, which Mr. Meurs said was the last of its type remaining for the Germans. The attackers would appear to be targeting Berlin, then divert toward Misburg. The ruse, Mr. Meurs said, failed to fool the German defenders, chiefly because two bomber groups were temporarily without fighter escort and came under attack by German fighters who rushed in from the Berlin area. The Americans lost 35 heavy bombers, B-24 Liberators and B-17s, he said. "Within a quarter of an hour, the Germans downed 15 bombers of the 491st Bomb Group and five of the 445th Bomb Group. The sky was suddenly filled with debris of exploded aircraft, and with airmen descending under the white canopies of their parachutes. Later, the 491st would call that day their 'Black Sunday' as they had never lost so many aircraft on a single mission." Most heavy bombers carried a crew of 10, which meant the raid had cost the Americans at least 350 men. The Luftwaffe also paid a heavy price, losing about 100 fighters of the 500 launched, Mr. Meurs said. It was not Mr. Crespolini's plane that fell near Mr. Meurs' backyard. His bomber, from the 445th Bomb Group, a B-24 Liberator, crashed near Sorsum in Germany. Three crew members parachuted to safety and were taken prisoner. Mr. Crespolini, the waist-gunner, lost his life in the crash. His record is among those being researched by Mr. Meurs, who is seeking relatives who might be interested in the wartime fate of a family member. One of those relatives is John A. Crespolini, of Duryea, who says he is aware of Mr. Meurs' quest but has not yet been in contact with him because of computer problems. The Times-Tribune provided him Mr. Meurs' e-mail address. Mr. Meurs said his research shows that Mr. Crespolini's mother, Barbara, lived at 211 Alicia St., Old Forge. Her son initially was buried near the crash site in Germany. After the war, he was reburied in the American Military Cemetery in the Ardennes in Belgium. Later, Mr. Meurs says, his remains were returned to Old Forge for burial. His name is on the borough's honor roll of war heroes, and Mr. Meurs has entered his name on the rolls of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Mr. Meurs describes himself as a Dutchman living in Switzerland, researching the fate of the 35 bomber crews of the 8th Air Force who did not return to their bases on that November Sunday in 1944. His e-mail address is meurs.john@bluewin.ch. Contact the writer: billywag144@yahoo.com

Hi Pat, The Gormley id is a 35 out of 37 marker match with my brother's DNA. My brother's DNA is a straight-line male descent. Only markers 455 and 449 are different. Marker 455=12 seems to be peculiar to the Manley/Munley/ Monnelly/Munnelly surname of NW County Mayo. 455 = 11 is more common to the NW Irish modal. Marker 449 is one of the faster mutating markers, so being off by one is not too unusual. For those who are interested. www.ysearch.org The id for Gormley is 8FB5K and the id for Manley is 9ZQQG. This is the closest match I have found so far to my brother's DNA results. It would be interesting, but difficult to trace either lineage much further because the records in Ireland are so sketchy. I do know that Walt has done some genealogy research on the Munley/Manley/ Monnelly/Munnelly surname from previous correspondence with him.

Hi Walt, We have corresponded previously regarding the Manley/Munley/Munnelly/Monnelly surname. Just a note to say that I have been wondering why my brother's DNA results at www.ysearch.org kept matching someone by the surname Gormley? I suspect that it may be your line that he is matching. Some of my ancestors did live in the Archbald area near Scranton, but I have not been able to establish many links there. I suspect DNA similarities go back to County Mayo, since my line appears to be from the Belmullet area.

Hello All, Would the person who requested info on the contact person for the above mention cemt please contact me privately . I think I've found the contact person name & phone No. in my research notes. Regards, RJ

Hi Joan, Thank you so much for answering my e-mail. I remember you sent me your cousins address a few years back but he didn't have any information for me but I will try again. I haven't been working on my Thomas family that live in Taylor for awhile and have been working on other names. Are you still working on your family from Taylor ? It is very hard to get information about folks that lived in Taylor for me. Didn't you try to get church records also ? When people died in Taylor which newspaper would the obit be in ? Hope to hear from you. Take care. Dorothy in Arizona. Before Az.
