Sarah's father (Frank) was born in Ireland around 1842, so the family you mentione below is probably different, but then again, maybe a relative of some sort!: Descendants of Frank Anderson 1 Frank ANDERSON b: Abt. 1842 in Ireland .. +Mary MATTHEWS b: Abt. 1845 in PA ..... 2 Sarah Jane ANDERSON b: 1879 in Mifflin Twp, Gill Hall, Allegheny Co, PA d: January 24, 1947 in Dunlevy, Washington Co., PA ......... +Fredrick Peter DALE b: Abt. 1874 in Talk O The Hill, Strafford, England d: August 24, 1901 in Charleroi, PA ..... 2 Charlie ANDERSON b: Abt. 1883 > > I have seen that some of the Anderson's in the area are of color, so I > have to look out for that also.

I do have one who's family could possibly be from that area, but they are still living, so I prefer not to post here. I'll have to get in touch with them and get into on his ancestors. I'll let you know what I find! -- Thanks Mike Donaldson, Bentleyville, PA (mdonald4@bentcom.net) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mon Valley History and Genealogy Website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pamonval/ Mon Valley: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: http://www.geocities.com/mdonald318/ My family gedcom: http://www.my-ged.com/donldson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Listowner of: Monongahela River Valley of Penna Rootsweb mailing list: PAMONVAL-L@rootsweb.com - Mail mode PAMONVAL-D@rootsweb.com - Digest mode Bieneman / Bienemann Rootsweb Mailing list Bienemann-L@rootsweb.com - Mail Mode Bienemann-D@rootsweb.com - Digest mode
