I am sooo frustrated and am left to do this all on my own, and I do NOT have the ability to travel and spend weeks in PA trying to look up information!!!! I am in search of my biological grandfather: Joseph J. Osborne, here is the information I have: Joseph J. Osborne born approx. in 1902 was married to Margaret F Delaney (she was married before to a Reynold Ruths) they lived in the Shamokin, Northumberland and/or Mt. Carmel PA area They had one son together: Thomas Joseph Osborne (my father)(once his father past, and my grandmother remarried for the 3rd time, his step dad adopted him and his last name became Gidaro) Joseph died at the age of 62 from "painters asthma" tuberculosis-emphysema from what my father tells me they did not live anywhere else, he also said his grandfather died and his grandmother re-married and her last name became Scott; she had 2 children from that marriage: Mary Scott and Warrine Scott Apparently my grandfathers nick name was Scotty (because his last name was different then his mom and 1/2 sisters) He owned his own painting business but my dad doesn't remember the name because he never really advertised it was word of mouth. Any information you could find me would be GREATLY appreciated! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
