During the time frame 1870 - 1880 there's a remote possibility of a death notice in the Shenandoah HERALD or the MINERS JOURNAL. Both papers are on microfilm: JOURNAL at the Schuylkill Historical Society and the HERALD (1875 etc) at Pottsville Library and Harrisburg State Library. At the Prothonotary in Pottsville and Harrisburg there is a list of county accidental deaths or of unknown cases that starts in the early 1800s. A new policy at the Pottsville Anthracite museum provides one day a week to visit. I don't know what is required for personal research but I know one person who acquired data for a miner ancestor.

There is no compilation of that particular cemetery (the compilation would only provide name if there was a headstone...without a headstone they would not be in the compilation). I did check the German Catholic Cemetery, St. Fidelis, but did not find a Cantwell. -----Original Message----- From: paschuyl-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:paschuyl-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Kelly Jean McEntee Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2007 8:47 AM To: paschuyl@rootsweb.com Subject: [PASCHUYL] Irish in Schuylkill Co 1800s Does anyone out there have experience in researching Irish miners in Schuylkill County c1870-1880?
