I am trying to confirm that Joshua Pugh is my great, great, great grandfather. I am fairly certain he was born in NJ in 1787, and migrated to Plymouth Township, and lived in Plymouth Borough. He is mentioned in the History of Luzerne County. Does anyone have any marriage, death, or cemetery records? I believe his son, John W. Pugh, born 1824, and daughter, Lovina, born 1826 were his children. Both were pioneer settlers in Illinois. John W. Pugh is my great, great grandfather. He was born in Plymouth, and migrated to Mason County, Illinois in 1850. He became County Board Chairman and was elected to the Illinois State Legislature. Thank you very much. Robert W. Pugh 15405 Allan Drive Omaha, NE 68137 402-894-0508 rpugh@neonramp.com

Hello Listers, A member 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. 1900 U.S.A. Census shows Thomas and Magarett (sic) Aitken at 13 Washington St., West Pittston, Luzerne, Pennsylvania: Number of children: 0 Number of children living: 0 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. I looked for their names in the West Pittston directories of 1905, 1911 and 1913 but there is no record of them there. I could not find this couple in the 1910 US census so they most probably died between 1900 and 1910. I would be most grateful for any assistance in determining their dates of death, place of burial, and obituaries if possible. Season's Greetings, John Johnston, Gisborne, New Zealand

Her husband's name was Charles John Bechtold, but he died in Yardley PA in 1963. I'm assuming she's living with one of her kids, but I don't know that for sure.

Debby Malecki asked ... Do you have any censuses ? What was his wife's name and additional info also children names and info? ANSWERS ======= I have found many Fred Shearers and Scherers in the 1900 and 1910 censuses, but it's not until the 1920 census (in Hutchinson, KS) when I have an entry I can definitively say is him. I've gone as far as to construct a listing of every Fred Shearer/Scherer in the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census, and try to line them up, and see what's left over, but there are just too many of them that don't match to make it work. For example, there is an interesting one in the 1900 census (sent to me in response to this posting) with a Fred Scherer born Sep. 1882 in PA. Is this him? Hard to say. I'll follow up though, see if I can learn more about this family, maybe there will be some clues to help determine which Fred Shearer is being shown. There's also an intriguing entry in the 1910 census showing a Fred Shearer married, but once again I've tried to learn more about the family shown in the census without success. The marriage we know about happens in 1915 in Hutchinson, KS, and the children are born in either KS or CO. The solid information we have on Fred all starts after his arrival in Hutchinson, sometime shortly before 1915, and after that point he never returns to PA or IL. If it's helpful, my data is posted at http://www.gencircles.com/users/cscooper/1/data/194 ORIGINAL POST ============= I'm trying to help my wife learn more about her grandfather, Fred Shearer, a mysterious man for whom we have little solid birth information, and who disappeared in the 30's so we know nothing about his death. For his birth, we have his date of birth (Sept. 26 1884) from his WW1 draft registration, but for his place of birth on various other documents he usually gave either IL or PA. However, on the birth certificate for one of his daughters, he listed "Pitsen, PA" as his birthplace, so I've been focusing on Pittston, figuring that's what was meant (anyone know of a town named Pitsen in PA?) Her grandfather spelled his last name Shearer in later life, but in earlier documents it's spelled Scherer, and there was a Scherer family in Pitsten in the late 1800s/early 1900s, so that seems plausible. However, it seems most of the records have been destroyed, and I haven't had any success in reaching any of the Scherers I see that live in the Pittston area today. Research I've done (or had done) ... * Newspapers. The researcher I hired said "there is a large gap in the surviving issues of the Pittston Gazette from 1874 to 1889", and the "Wilkes-Barre papers probably would be of no help either because they contained very few birth notices at the time except for a few more prominent families in the city itself." * Had the Wyoming Historical & Geological Society do a search (though on Shearer, not Scherer, I'll contact them again) * Contacted the state for birth records (they didn't start state birth records until 1906) * Contacted the county for birth records (courthouse burned down during the flood of 1893) * Contacted the local Catholic diocese (we believe he was Catholic), no success. * The researcher explored other avenues without success. Any suggestions on how I can learn more about Fred and his possible Pittston roots? Thanks! Chris

Hello Lydia, Not only were parts of Poland considered Russia, but between 1772 and 1795, in a series of three partitions, Russia, Prussia and Austria divided up Poland. It ceased to exist as a separate country until 1918. Understanding which part of Poland came under which country is important in knowing how to find records of Polish ancestors. During the period of those divisions and for a number of years afterwards, church records were kept in German in the Prussian and Austrian sections, but in Russian in the region taken by that empire. Best wishes, Doug Nicol Norman D. Nicol, Ph.D. Professional Genealogist/Family Historian Specializing in NE Pennsylvania, England, esp. Cornwall, and Scotland Lydia Kedzierski wrote: >My husband's family is Polish. You might also look for Russia as a birth place. At times, parts of Poland were considered Russia.

I have an Alexander Malachowski/Maylock born mar 1864 in Prussia according to census. Now he lived in Nanticoke died I think sometime between 1900 and 1902. He was married to a Anna/Antoinette Nogic. After Alexander died Anna married Joseph Zukowski. Here is where I need the help! 1. Can anyone suggest an alternate spelling for Malachowski, it is spelled different in the census. 2. If someone was of Polish descent around 1900 which churches in Nanticoke would they have been buried in. 3. If anyone can give me any pointers I would appreciate it. Also if you know of any sites that would help me doing research online about the Polish community of Nanticoke and the history I would love it. 4. Any tidbit or anything about would be helpful to help me understand a little more about the Polish community in Nanticoke around 1900. 5. Is there a historical society for the Polish in Nanticoke.

Karen, I don't have anything specific on the ancestry of John Hannis, but Henry Blackman Plumb in his "History of Hanover Township" has the following on the Hannis family. John Hannis came to Hanover before 1796 from Connecticut; lived on the River Road; owned part of Lot No. 2, First Division of Hanover in 1802; married Sarah Horton, sister of Miller Horton; moved to a house near the Ashley crossroad on Lot No. 7, First Division; died in Hanover. They had: William, went West in 1849 George, went West in 1849 Josiah, went West in 1849 John, went West in 1849, m. ? Steele Harry, went to Pike Co., PA Hannah, m. Jacob Deterick Jane, m. Isaac Frederick Polly, m. John E. Inman. This could be the family of your John. Are you sure of his date of death? Or could your John have gone "West in 1849" with a second wife whose name was ? Steele? These burials are in the Newport Cemetery. Hannis, Freas E, son of A&E Hannis, d. 1 July 1869, 10 mo Elizabeth, wife of Adam, 15 Nov 1843-20 Apr 1878 Theresia, dau of A&E, d. 30 Nov 1867, 8 mo 11 dy Hilderbert H. d. 13 Sep 1877, 2 yr 1 m 6 dy I found no Hannis burials in the Hanover Green Cemetery. I found the following record on a Silvius family message board. Charles Barrall b. 27 Aur [sic] 1854 Moore, North..d. 1929 Nanticoke, Luzerne, Pa m. (1) 16 Mar 1877 Monroe Co, Pa Mary Louise Steen div. 31 May 1892 (b.15 Jun 1855 d.29 Mar 1896)d/o Jame & Huldah ( ) Steen m. (2) abt 1892 Susan Hannis (b.22 Jan 1847 Luzerne, Pa d. 2 Oct 1912 Nanticoke, Luzerne)d/o John & Susan (Belles) Hannis m. (3) Emma Jane Louden(b. abt 1865 d. aft 1955 Luzerne) d/o Thomas & Sarah (Liedick) Louden You have a death date of 1897 for Susan Hannis. This record has 1912. Did she have a previous marriage? In the 1850 census James [5] and Elizabeth [8] were living in Newport Township with their maternal grandmother Elizabeth Belles. I found no census record for Adam Hannis until 1870 when he was living in Dorrance Township with his wife Elizabeth and two sons, Leander [7] and George W. [5]. I did not find Susan Hannis in the 1850 census either. By 1880 Adam had moved to Ashley. He was then widowed and had five children: Leander [17], William [15], Harry [9], Nora [7] and James [5]. Also in the household were Effa Wilcox, housekeeper, divorced, and her daughter Annie [8]. In 1900 Adam was still living in Ashley, he had married his housekeeper and they had a son Henry who was born in July 1889. Did Elizabeth Hannis marry and have a family? I am interested in learning more about this family, particularly, the first few generations of the descendants of John Hannis and Susan Belles.

My husband's family is Polish. You might also look for Russia as a birth place. At times, parts of Poland were considered Russia. Some of his ancestors have Russia listed as their birth place, although in their hearts and minds they were 100% Polish! --------------------------------- Cheap Talk? Check out Yahoo!

David, Thank you for all the information you have looked up! Here is the story: The John Hannis you found is NOT mine! We thought so for years! Unfortunately it didn't work out. My John Hannis was murdered by a neighbor as they were fighting over a fence! I have the newspaper clipping - it was in 1847 - and he was killed by a Croop (haven't figured if he is realated to me yet). In the newspaper article it stated that his wife had died the winter before. So I figure that she may have died in childbirth or shortly after the last child was born (Susan). We had always heard that John Hannis died in a fight over a horse or a fence! I put a notice on here a few years back. A year went by and suddenly I got an e-mail from someone named "Pat" who sent me the newspaper article. Interestingly, it only took a couple of months for the trial to be over and Mr. Croop got 7 years! I could never find Adam either - he went to live with an uncle I think but don't know for sure. James Polk and Elizabeth went with their grandmother and Susan went with one of her mother's sister. I'll be happy to send you any and all information about my John Hannis if you think you would like it. Just let me know.

But, this is a Slovak Church but is also Catholic so if the two Polish Churches do not pan out you can try St. Joseph's. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Nannie1331@aol.com> To: <PALUZERN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 9:15 PM Subject: [PALUZERN] need help with Polish around Nanticoke > Hi Listers, > > Well, here is what I am looking for.

Hi All, Here are some suggestions that have worked for me. I have a Percosky family that I could not find. His name Alex and his mom Rose. Doing a search on Ancestry.com I tried just putting in the first 3 letters of the first name Ale* and then the *. I also put in an approximate date 1885 and gave it an error rate of 5 years and also place of birth Poland. That helped me start the search and to keep it as small as possible. It pulled up all the names that started with Ale born from 1880-1890 in Poland. I looked that silly list over and over for any spelling of Percosky. When that failed, I just started looking at each one of the hits it gave me. And I found them listed as Berowski. I would never have typed that in. The * gives it a wild card search. You can also limit the search by typing in Ale? and it will pull up all four letter names, the ? acts as a wild card letter. So, my suggestions is try searching by first names, birth dates etc. Carol > > I hope whoever has answers to these questions will post to the whole list > as > I think they pertain to many of us.

I hope whoever has answers to these questions will post to the whole list as I think they pertain to many of us. My families of interest were also Polish immigrants to the coal mining area. Michele Here is where I need the help! 1. Can anyone suggest an alternate spelling for Malachowski, it is spelled different in the census. 2. If someone was of Polish descent around 1900 which churches in Nanticoke would they have been buried in. 3. If anyone can give me any pointers I would appreciate it. Also if you know of any sites that would help me doing research online about the Polish community of Nanticoke and the history I would love it. 4. Any tidbit or anything about would be helpful to help me understand a little more about the Polish community in Nanticoke around 1900. 5. Is there a historical society for the Polish in Nanticoke. Would you please email me directly so I dont tie up the list

Also if you know of any sites that would help me doing research online about the Polish community of Nanticoke and the history I would love it. 4.

Hi David, Thanks for the reply! At least I have one thing right, I have Adam Belles born 1790! I'm hoping to get some information on Susan Belles's husband, John Hannis, that is the line I'm following - John Hannis is my Brick Wall! Know anything about John Hannis?
