Hi Missy, Try: http://www.vitalrec.com/ Catherine

Hi, I'm interested in sending away for a copy of my g-g-g grandfather's death certificate but I don't have an address to write to. He died after 1906 and I have the standard information they are asking for......name, date of death, city of death, etc., but it won't do me any good unless I have an address. Would there be someone amongst my fellow genealogist who might have the address and if so could someone please email the address to me. Thank in advance, Missy Zuber Atco, NJ Researching Bias, Fatula, Lucash & Zuber

Researching my great grandparents John S.Eddy and Mary Black. They lived in Hazleton and had two daughters, Alice and Florence. They possibly may have had other children. The city directory of 1897 has the family living on James Street. Alice married Charles Matthews and Florence married Arthur Shelley. The 1905 NJ census has John Eddy as widower living with the Shelley's in Elizabeth, N.J. Any information would be truly appreciated. Thank you, Pat Matthews N.J.

Can someone please tell me where Fairlawn Cemetery is located. Thank You Pat

I'm not sure if Laurel is the only 'Cemetery in White Haven. To the list: Is there a cemetery listing for Laurel Cemetery on the internet anywhere? I was there and couldn't find the graves I was looking for. Left a note on the caretaker shed as no one there. No one got back to me.

could someone please tell me the name of the church near Delaware Avenue? I believe the minister is named "Bob", or minister Bob is what he's called. Thank you -- Alice

Looking for the SNYDER and STAIR family in Luzerne County area. My gr.gr.grandmother Sarah Snyder (b. 1839 d. 1896) married Stephen BALLIET. We are told she later married a person with the last name of STAIR. We have found a Sarah Snyder in the 1850 census with the parents Conrad and Sylvia Snyder, but we are not certain this our Sarah. We would appreciate any information anyone may possibly be able to share. Thank you.

Are marriage records for indexed for the time period of 1850 - 1852? I am hoping to find the marriage record of my g-g-g-grandmother Mesilla Jerusha Seeley (believe her to be daughter of Robert & Mary Seeley of Kingston Twp., Luzerne Co.) to Andrew Miller. I believe they were married by 1851 according to their children's birthdates, so am hoping someone may be willing to check indexes from 1850 - 1852.

A brother of his had a leg cut off some time ago in an accident. His father, it is understood, cannot secure work. (condensed) Ed, Phoenix

I was wondering if someone might be able to assist me with a lookup in White Haven. First I am trying to determine which newspapers served White Haven in 1987. Does White Haven have their own newspaper and does the library have microfilm copies of this newspaper? I am looking to find an obit from June or July 1987. If anyone can attempt to locate this from the newspaper in White Haven, I can give them the exact month and name. I know the Hazleton Standard Speaker did not carry the obit. Also does anyone know how I can contact the Laurel Cemetery in White Haven? From what I understand, this is the only cemetery in White Haven. Thanks for all your help. Sincerely, Paula K

Does anyone have any info on McGuire, Jones or Prout families living in Plymouth or S. Wilkes-Barre during the early 1920s and '30s? Thanks.

Hi, My 4th great grandparents Henry McCracken and Abigail Black had the following children: 1)Abigail, born 1770, my 3rd ggrandmother, married William Smith on April 5, 1792 in Shermans Valley, Perry Cnty. William Smith was born Mar. 1, 1770 in Wales, near Garating, England. 2) Samuel, born about 1772 3)Rebekah, born about 1774 4)John, born about 1776 Abigail and Samuel McCracken were born in Cumberland Cnty., Rebekah and John McCracken were born in Sunbury. I believe that Henry McCracken was born in 1725. Does anyone know the birth place of Henry McCracken and was he married prior to his marriage to Abigail Black? He died on Sept. 24, 1780 in North Umberland Cnty. Does anyone have any information regarding Samuel McCracken? During 1798 Alezander Clark conveyed 4 acres of land in Tyrone Twp.& Juanita Twp., Cumberland Cnty. to William & Abigail Smith. The 1800 Fed. census shows William Smith living in Wysox Twp., Luzerne Cnty., with 5 children in the home and 2 adults. The 1810 Fed. Census shows a William Smith in Ulster Twp., Lycoming Cnty., with 9 children in the home up to the age of 26, and 2 others, in the age bracket to be William and Abigail Smith. Does anyone know the names of the children of Abigail and William Smith? I can not find them on the 1820 census. William & Abigail Smiths son, Howard S. Smith( my gggrandfather) was born May 10, 1810 in Bradford Cnty., Penns. Howard married Azubah about 1829 and they had several children. Azubah's last name may have been Nelson. I have some information regarding Rebekah & John McCracken as well as William and Abigail Smith. Thank you for your help and I am willing to share with others. Sandy

Please read the following information it may be important to all researchers. Tammy -----Original Message----- From: Linda Emerson [mailto:lindae@mlode.com] Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 10:29 AM To: CASANFRA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Genealogy Spam Update It looks like the fictitious Family Discovery genealogy service has moved to Prodigy now. I contacted Prodigy this morning and they have asked that anyone who receives solicitation email from familydiscovery.com to take the following steps immediately: 1) Forward the entire Family Discovery message to: abuse@prodigy.com 2) Include the following information (most of which was provided by Rita from the Oconto County, WI list): Please note that the attached message is now being sent through your ISP service. They have been reported to various State Attorney General's Office on computer fraud, but it is hard to catch up with them. Originally the "company" linked to free information sites and placed the pages in "frames" so that it looked like it was their own work. Customers paid for that information. The scam, now, is paying for the free information links and then they "move" frequently and leave their paid-up customers without services. 3) Post these same instructions on any other lists today so that Prodigy has a better chance of finding the spammers. -- Linda Emerson Coordinator - Union Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania http://www.rootsweb.com/~paerie/townships/Union.htm ============================== Create a FREE family website at MyFamily.com! http://www.myfamily.com/banner.asp?ID=RWLIST2
