First, I want to thank everyone who responded recently to my request about the availability of older vital statistics in PA. As I figured, I'm sort of out of luck. Now I have another question. I've been learned that my great great grandfather MICHAEL BRONDER and my great grandfather of the same name were coal miners. I know they worked in mines somewhere in Allegheny County, but there is also the possibility that for awhile at least one of them worked as a miner in Mercer County, probably in the Greenville area. Does anybody know about the coal industry in Mercer County, and if there are any websites regarding mines in PA. ALso, would the UMW have records (but I believe the Bronders pre-dated the union.) Thanks. Marley Greiner Researching: BRONDER, FLECKENSTEIN, LOEW (Pennsuylvania) Granecome, Shearstone, Lawrance, Somerset County, Eng.

Hello listmembers Recently I received the pension papers for my g g grandparents,JOSEPH K. and LAVINIA WHITE-VAUGHN. They were m. in Mercer,county of Mercer, by REV. EDWARD SMALL of the gospel, on Sept. 9, 1047. If anyone knows what church this could have been I would appreciate hearing from you so I might see about getting copies of the marriage. Also two men signed that they were friends of Joseph Vaughn and served with him in the 103rd PA Infantry. They were REYNOLDS LAUGHLIN and PETER M DUNKLE. I would also appreciate hearing from connections of them. Thank you. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated....Ellie ellie@pacific.net

Hello Rooters, I was wondering if anyone in Mercer County does lookups on Sharon Herald microfilm. I need several obituaries from 1929-1959. Please e-mail me personally with your fees for searching and mailing. I figured it would be cheaper than flying up there... Thanks!

Hello! I am seeking info on James C. KERR, b. 1839 in Ireland, d. 1910 in Greenville, Mercer co. His wife was Mary G. O'REILLY b. 1846 in Canada, d. 1902 Greenville, Mercer co. Both of their sets of parents were born in Ireland. I'm wondering if anyone might have any idea when they immigrated, how, or where from in Ireland, or how I might go about researching this. Thanks! Any help would be appreciated. Susan - Billings, MT

My great-aunt, Margaret Jane McWhirter b.1850 in Mercer Co., PA, was the daughter of John MCWHIRTER b.15 Nov 1809 in Derry Co., Ireland, and Margaret CLARK b. C1817 in Harlens, Lawrence Co., PA. Her mother died seven days after childbirth. She is listed in the 1880 census for W. Lackawannock Twp., Mercer Co. with her father. Then there are no records until the 1910 census for Vincennes, Knox Co. Indiana. The 1888 History of Mercer Co. mentions that she was living in Illinois. I remember going to Vincennes to visit her and a much younger stepbrother, John, when I was a child. I wish I had asked about her while my parents were alive. Where was she all that time? being raised by relatives? or what? If anyone has any knowledge of her or has a census index for Illinois and/or Indiana for any of the years between I would appreciate a look-up. Thanks!!

Brooks of Beaver Falls, PA, Luke Flannery of Beaver Falls, Anna F. Bowers and William Flannery of New Castle PA, Nell F. Hawk of McKeesport PA, Michael Flannery killed in a mine in Volant PA and Margaret F. Wardle of Volant PA.

Does anyone know if the Millbrook Grange is still in operation and if it is what the mailing address might be? Walt

Hi I just finished browsing the Center Cemetery listing on the Mercer Co., Pa Genealogy website. Is this the same cemetery now known as the Old Presbyterian on Greewood Dr., Grove City. If so where might I find records of burials there after 1872? I have obituaries listings this cemetery but have not found tombstones. Thanks Gayle

I am searching for information re: William and Rachel Irwin, who were living in Cool Springs, Mercer Co. 1850. (He died 1854) I am wanting to know where he lived (prob. Northumberland Co.) before moving to Mercer in 1841. Unfortunately, I have not found deeds telling me where he came from. I have information on his descendants which I will be happy to share with others. Also I am seeking information on the Alexander family. William Irwin's dau in law, Rebecca Alexander Irwin (was married to Richard Irwin, Borough of Mercer, Nov. 1846) Rebecca was dau of either William or Elias Alexander and I'd like to know which. Hope to hear from somebody! Thanks! Charlotte Irwin Roppolo
