Terry, This school was right across the street from my grandparents house in Jessup. My grandma used to sweep the floors after school (she was a widow with 7 kids).

Carol and others, The White Oak mine opened in 1846 in Archbald (Laurel Street) not far from the Lackawanna River. It closed in 1911 when the Gravity Slope Colliery replaced it. Give me your grandfather's name and I'll try to help. Joe Bryer GRSNP PHeppnerjr@aol.com wrote: I have heard of the White Oak mine, but really don't know a lot about it.

In searching the website http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Epalackaw/ I found a reference to 2 wills of family members. How well does the Register of Wills for Lackawanna County work with out of state requests? Is there an online form that I can then mail in to get a copy of the wills? Also it has been a number of years since I have searched for these people, I just thought to bring up their names. Children of Maxmillian and Bertha (Kullmann)Phillips - there are 10 children born between 1887 and 1909 all in and around Scranton PA. Last census for Bertha was 1930 but most children gone by then. Children Catherine, Charlotte, Magdelena, Jacob, Peter, Bertha, John, Jane and Leo Phillips Paulina and Catherine Kullmann - came to the US with their sister Bertha Kullmann Philips. Unable to find any records of them Amelia Teichmann - Step sister to Bertha, Paulina and Catherine. Last known to be in the US census 1900 in Scranton. Ella Zorn - Aunt to Amelia Teichmann and Bertha, Paulina and Catherine Kullmann, last known 1870 census in Scranton. Chris Hendrickson Melbourne, Fl

Terri: There was. in fact, an elementary school in Green Ridge by the name of Robert Morris and I guess who ever received your email wrongly assumed that it was a GR school and not Jessup. I think one of our cousins (Miss Connors) was one of the teachers in that school. Regards. Jack

I am trying to track relatives that are living or have lived in the Wilkes Barre area. What I know is that my grandfather was killed by a train in 1928. He had two brothers living in the area, Robert and Frank. One of the brothers was married to an Anna. She lost an arm in a trolley acident. I believe there were also 2 children that I am aware of. One was Irene and the other was Vicky (Victoria). My grandfather's mother also lived in the Wilkes Barre area also. Her name was Victoria also and she lived to be 100 or close to it. Irene married a fellow from South Plainfield, NJ. His name was Johnny Schenker or Shenker or Shanker. They moved to CA. The had three sons. One, I believe, was killed in a motorcycle accident. Johnny also predeceased him having a heart attack. I believe that Frank also spent some time in prison for failing to pay alimony. That's about all I know. I'd love to find out more about the family and perhaps even make contact with any of them. As you are aware, part of the problem is that names like Zawatski in those days ended up being spelled many different ways. I have official documents of my granfather where the name is spelled about 5 different ways. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,,, I have located a NY immigration record for Anthony Gruzewski from 1928 that indicates his naturalization occurred 1/15/1922 at County Court of Wilkes Barre, 701 Caron St., Hazelton, Pa. Would these papers still be located at this County Court today? If so, would anyone know the procedure to obtain a copy? Thanks in advance for your help! Dave Gruzeski

Anyone on line know of the Zawatski family in Wilkes Barre area. As you are aware spelling of Zawatski could have been several different way. My mother was Marie(Mary) Zawatski who lived in Wilkes Barre. I believe there are still later generations living there that might be related. My grandfather's name was John. He had a brother Frank, Robert and Anastasia. Any help would be greatly appreciated. John Sponaes ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Thanks for the input. I did a search of Murphy's 'History of Lackawanna County and found three references to a company store. 1. LI&C Company had a store on upper Lackawanna Ave., near the DL&W Railroad Station. The 1877 riot seemed centered around it. 2. A.B. Stephens had a company store at he corner of West Lackawanna and Seventh Ave. 3. The Pancoast Colliery Company had a company store in Throop.
