Ok Sherry.  Good luck.  Old newspapers are the best place to learn about these obscure historical tidbits.                                                                                                             Jim   ________________________________ From: Sherry Shallenberger <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 1:25:05 PM Subject: Re: [PALANCAS] Baumgartners of West Donegal Twp Hi Jim, Thank you for the information on shad fishing and for pointing me towards the article on the Conestoga Historical Society's website, which was very interesting.  While googling, I also found a couple other articles on shad fishing.  Shad fishing sounds like it would have been quite amazing to watch.  I will check out the other newspapers you suggested this weekend and continue looking for information about boundry changes involving the islands on the Susquehanna. Thanks again for all your help and suggestions. Have a great weekend.  It looks to be a beautiful, sunny weekend here in northwestern Pennsylvania!
