If you can get to Scranton, check the Scranton City Directories. If she had a business it would be in there. The directories are Alphabetical by name. If you are to far, try the interlibrary loan system. Check your local library for details. This is the web site for the Albright Memorial Library in Scranton. http://www.albright.org/ I've had lots of luck in doing my research with the SCD's and then translating that information into the Ward # and then getting the census page from where my ancestor's resided in Scranton. My ancestral time-line spans 1830 up into the 1950's in Scranton. Hope this helps you.

While I know that the obit was probably written by > her family, I would like to believe there is some truth upon which it is based. She lived in the "notch" area of Scranton on Oak Street for most of her adult life. She married Patrick Moran and was the daughter of Patrick McNulty & Helen Ryan. She was born in 1862 and died in 1928. She had 11 children, all of whom she raised in Scranton. Any suggestions of any more information I can get on her other than birth, death and census. Does anyone know if the societies of Holy Rosary kept any records and how helpful they would be? Any other suggestions? I believe at one point she had some sort of business of her own, but no one is quite sure what that was or where it may have been located. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Amy > > > ==== PALACKAW Mailing List ==== > Visit the Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society http://rootsweb.com/~panepgs/ > To unsubscribe: http://www.rootsweb.com/~palackaw/index.html#MailingList > >
