St. Joseph's burial records, compiled by Girardville historian Evelyln Marquardt, are available at the Pottsville Free Public Library; you can request a lookup: http://www.pottsvillelibrary.org/genie.htm You might also want to view a recent thread on Connerton (later name for Connor's Patch), which was indeed located NE on Connerton Road: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.schuylkill/3677/mb.ashx Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
