However, I could not find any reference to a "Free Presbyterian Church". One of my family was Thomas AITKEN, Blacksmith, born 1844, Walston, Lanarkshire, Scotland who married Margaret BERTRAM, born 1846, Dolphinton, Lanarkshire, Scotland and settled in West Pittston, PA. and may have moved to Dickson City after 1900. In searching the records of the First United Presbyterian Church (formerly First Presbyterian Church) West Pittston, I discovered the name of Thomas Aitken in the Register of Elders. He was installed on 7 February 1892. Further in the church records are the names of Thomas Aitken and Mrs. Margaret Aitken (wife of Thomas) in the Register of Communicants. Both have 14 April 1889 as their "Date of Admission", both were received by "Certificate", both were "Dismissed" on 23 September 1901, and both went to "Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland", whereabouts not stated. The pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church between 1 January 1898 and 1 December 1908 was William R. Harshaw. Does anyone know of a Free Presbyterian Church in West Pittston or nearby, and whether records are available?

Does anyone have access to the index for wills/administrations for Luzerne Co - ca 1804 - 1810. ???? I see according to the newspaper the Federalist that Charles Holloway was administrator for his fathers estate and that it had not been settled and that the county was posting a letter to him for its closure. by April 1805 Isaac Holloway had died - by 1809 the estate was not settled. anything found regarding Isaac Holloway, Sarah Holloway or Charles Holloway is of great interest to me. they lived at Salem Township. Kindly, Jack Scott

Good Evening Listmembers, I am new to the list, but not to family history research. I am currently looking for the marriage information on two individuals. These individuals are my GGGrandparents on my mother's father's side. John A Micklos b: 20 Jun 1861, Cheklov, Czech d: 04 Jul 1954, in Jackson county, Minnesota, USA m: approx 1885/1886 in or around Hazleton, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA Mary Gyzdick/Gyzick/Gayszdik (there are like 4 other ways I have found also b: 25 Nov 1863 in Zamtov, Zemaplin, Czech d: 05 Dec 1941 in Jackson county, Minnesota, USA John arrived in the United States in 1881 in the Saratoga, New York area. He later moved to the Hazleton, PA area where he met Mary and they married. According to census, three children were born in PA, the rest in Minnesota. Mary arrived in the United States in 1882 with her brother John and settled in the Hazleton, Luzerne, PA area. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated or possibly the correct spelling of the last name for Mary and her brother John. Any decendants, please contact me personally @ HoperFamily@yahoo.com Thank you in advance for all help. Lori L Hoper Kingsland, Georgia, USA --------------------------------- We won't tell.

I was going through some old papers and found this mail from a year and a half ago listing Penna. Churches. I don't ever recall using it until now. I am sure many of you have it but perhaps someone on the list does not. _http://www.churchangel.com/pennsylvania.htm#N_ (http://www.churchangel.com/pennsylvania.htm#N) Bill Fehlinger-Mays Landing NJ

I don't know if it might help you but, In the Parsons section of Wilkes-Barre there was a Pugh family. I don't remember the mans name but the woman was named Liz. This would have been in the early 1930's. Bill Fehlinger-New Jersey

Shelley My paternal grandmother was Stella May Phillips. Her parents were Aaron & Eliza Rollins Phillips. Stella married my grandfather, Phillip Huff Earl. One of their children was John Earl, who died at 3 years of age. My father was Clyde Earl. I would be very interested in getting this photo album as I have an old album with unidentified pictures and would love to know if they match.

Anyone have any information on Joshua Pugh, born 1782 in NJ, lived in Plymouth Township at least 1830-1850. Probably died no later than 1860. Cemetery, church, other records?

I am posting the will of George SMITH of Sandyston, Sussex Co., NJ to NJSUSSEX-L, PALACKAW-L and PALUZERN-L mailing lists because George Smith had several children and grandchildren who relocated to northeast Pennsylvania (noted below). Some of the script was difficult to interpret and I have indicated words that I was unable to interpret with “_____” and words that I was not quite sure are correctly interpreted in parenthesis. Bob O’Neill George SMITH/SCHMIDT was born in Germany. He married Maria Barbara BEUSCHLEIN in Bedminster Twp., Bucks Co., PA. The baptisms of seven of their children were recorded in Upper Mt. Bethel Township, Northampton Co., PA between 1775 and 1788. He removed to Sandyston Twp., Sussex Co., NJ after the revolutionary war. His will was recorded in Sussex Co., NJ in 1812.

Words are spelled herein as they occur in the will. [2] Line breaks are the same as occur in the will. [3] There are two transcription errors in the will extract for Georg Smith’s in the State of New Jersey Index of Wills, Inventories Etc. in the Office of the Secretary of State Prior to 1901 [Comp. by the Office of the Secretary of State. Vol. 3. (State of N.J.; 1913) 1996]. First, the home of Georg Smith is Sandyston, but the index lists it as Hardyston. Second, his last child is Sarah, not Hanah/Tanah as stated in the index. In both cases, a stylized capital “S” was mistaken for an “H”. [4] “yearly” inserted in the text with a carrot notation above the indicated line; this insertion is noted at the bottom of the will. [5] “Evfia” by my interpretation; difficult to read. The New Jersey Will index says “Eufia”. She is probably Anna Eva, who was baptized at Mount Bethel Lutheran and Reformed Congregations in Upper Mount Bethel Township [Seven children of George Smith and Maria Barbara Beuschlein are listed in John T. Humphrey. Pennsylvania Births. Northampton County, 1733-1800. Gateway Press. 1991. pg 188-190. In birth order, they are Jacob, Margaret, Leonard, Anna Eva, Elizabeth, Christian and Elias. Leonard is absent from the will and may have predeceased his father. The other children match the order listed in the will exactly and Anna Eva matches “Eufia” in birth order. [6] Sarah was originally put ahead of Elias in the order of children; Elias name was superimposed to efface Sarah’s name.

My great grandmother was born Catherine Slota (Szlotta and other variations). She married Jan Siry (Sirij and variations) in what is now estern Slovakia. Jan died there in 1890 which I have confirmed in church records. Catherine's brother Jan Slota came to the US with his sons. They lived in Breslau area of Wilkes BArre. I found them in the US Census. . Catherine came to the US and married a man with the surname Martin. Her two sons and one daughter came to the US in different years. They all took the surname Martin. Martin can be a Slavic name. The family was devout --So-- Catherine would have married somewhere in the Breslau/Plymouth/ area (maybe as far as Scranton). Catherin's family was Byzantine rite. Any thoughts? Gloria

Thanks, Laurie! I've been looking for the church my great grandmother belonged to, but I only had the minister's name from her obituary. Now, thanks to you, I know!

Can anyone tell me the names of the Byzantine Orthodox or Greek Catholic churches that were in existance in the greater Wilkes Barre/Scranton area before 1902? My great grandmother came to the area between 1890 and 1900 and was married and died during that time. I can find no record of her at all in the US. census. She would have lived in the Breslau/Plymouth area. I have searched the civil records of marriages and deaths with no success. I am now thinking I should search old church records. Gloria

I am also interested in these churches especially in 1889. My gr. grandparents were married in Hollywood. And all their children were born there. I need to find the Baptismal records for their children. I have contacted every church in the area that was around in 1889 but have had no luck finding the records. There must be one I don't know about. Debbie
