Hi! We've just posted the Baptist Ministers and congregation leaders for Starrucca vicinity from 1795 - 1967 at http://rivercountry.freeyellow.com/Starrucca.html Again, apologies for the assault of pop-up ads; they will be leaving shortly.

Yep! That's the one! Sorry, I just separate the areas into two "countries" We have the one country; up Moscow way... including Mt Cobb, Honesdale, Gouldsboro, etc. The area where I'm from. They're all over to the one side. Then there is the "other" country up near Clark's Summit, Dalton, Factoryville, Clifford, Carbondale, etc. they're off the other way. and then Carbondale can run into the Honesdale area. Then we have "down town" where is where I live right now. That includes the towns not in the mountains..... like Scranton, Taylor, Dickson City, etc. I don't know; its probably just my bunch..... We always seem to know where we're talking about <GRIN> Faye (I never said I was normal)

There is another Clifford in Susquehanna County between Lenox and Carbondale.

Clifford is in the Dalton, Factoryville area. Faye

Fred---for what its worth---go Honesdale---since i dont recognize town Clifford

My big Native list put to work on the prayers. Most onthislist are not aware, but, my 3 "triplets" are adopted. legally, under the Indian chld Welfare Act. (ICWA). they were all abandoned. My apache was a 6 1/2 mo preemie, 4 lbs,not expected to live. the other two are siblings. they are all graduating onschedule the end of this month. Ben was hearing impaired-lousy pediatrician---but, 3 surgeries, etc., and he is within normal range of hearing. he is LD/dylslexic. A jock, MVP, popular, very social--my activist. matt had Post Traumatic stress with abandonemnt issues. He has an I.Q. in the 140 range, --has developed into a tease. He's lettered 4 yrs in 3 sports. Sarah--elegant, self contained--a talented dancer--holds 2 small titles---and is adored by the family she works for--caring for their 3 children. all 3 are college bound. Accepted and getting ready. Sarah is going to one of the finest Women's colleges in the east. we have been "on our own" for 12 years, the man who signed for their adoption, to be their Dad, and was married to me--took a walk in 1988-- quit supporting us, hasn't seen them in years. Everyone says what great/nice/sweet/well mannered/responsible--etc. kids. In spite of prejudice--they "look" Indian-- and all the "can'ts, shouldn'ts, and so forth. Your daughter has a special place in our hearts. bless her for taking "one of our own". quite frankly, I have little time for folks who spend thousands of dollars overseas, in preference to taking our own children. or the Rosie O'donnells who spend a fortune getting Ivory soap babies---while those who deserve babies---wait so long they age out. another soap box,a nother day. Prayers from this house, for sure!!!!!!!

[Unable to display image] My daughter is adopting the little girl. After a long 3 year battle they say the papers are finally in the last judge's hands. She is a family member. Please pray and get all you can to pray this will finally be settled. At 5 weeks she was taken from the mother. She was left on the floor with no milk, a dog running around and a 7 year old brother watching her. She was born addicted to drugs. The parents have 5 children between them. All have been taken away or the parents just do not see them. The 8 year old boy does not remember ever going to see Santa. Can you tell by the look on his face? And the yellow socks, I forget the story about what happened. Thanks... All of the children are doing good. Thank God

Greetings all After a bit of a quiet spell I have managed to add some new transcriptions to the web site (address at bottom of message) Pike - 1850 Dingman Township Susquehanna - A partial addition to Gibson township in 1880 now 800+ entries 200 households but not finished Wayne - As a gift to a friend who has been a wholehearted supporter of my efforts - Starrucca Borough in 1910 I note the latter actually contains quite a few surnames that have come up on these lists in the past - including one household with all the following surnames -- Tewksbury, Tarbox and Woodmansee. And if someone could correct my mis-transcribing of the capital E's and C's which look the same I would appreciate it <Start Plug> If you find your ancestors in the census data please consider letting me have the data on a couple of generations of those ancestors to permit cross-referencing the census data to "real" people. Your contribution is acknowledged and can help make Northeastern Pennsylvania the most easily researched family history area on the web <Stop plug> I intend to finish the 1880 data for Gibson township. I do have relatives in that census data. What I transcribe NEXT will depend in part on the response I get from you - the reading audience. There already has been a strong interest in the 1850 data for Honesdale/Wayne Co. The lack of a good copy of the 1850 Clifford/Susquehanna has also frustrated many reasearchers. I have the 1880 Clifford data. If you have a preference between 1850 Honesdale and 1880 Clifford, please let me know... on list or privately. Enjoy. Fred -- _-_|\ Frederick W.

Hi Listers, can anyone help me find an obituary notice for Mary Bell Kerr, died November 30, 1881. She had lived in South Sterling and Sterling townships for 40 years. Any information is greatly appreciated. I live out of state and do not have access to any PA records. Thank you, Bonnie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi Listers Can some kind soul do an 1880 census lookup? 1880 Wayne County, Sterling township (not sure when it changed to Dreher township)for Mary Kerr as head of household or possibly John Westley Kerr as head of household. Mary was widowed and John was her son so not sure who would have been considered as head of household. I live out of state and do not have access to these records. The nearest LDS library to me is 60 miles one way and getting there is out of the question for me. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bonnie C. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/

Hi List, Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about Catholic Churches near Hawley. I called Queen of Peace Church on Chestnut Street in Hawley and they were established in 1852. I am sending a request in writing for baptismal records. Wish me luck! Carol

Hi, I just joined the list and am researching the HAM(HAMM) family. I found them in the 1880 census for the village of Hawley. My g grandmother MARY ELLEN HAM was supposedly born in Hawley in about 1872. Her birthday was April 13th but I am not positive of the year. I believe she lied about her age. I would love to find her baptismal record. Does anyone know which Catholic Churches were closest to Hawley back then? Does anyone have a phone number? Mary Ellen was the daughter of WILLIAM HAM and ELLEN JAMES. She had a sister ELIZABETH and brothers, WILLIAM, ROBERT, THOMAS AND JAMES. Is there anyone else researching this family. Thanks for any assistance anyone can give me. Carol Buffalo, New York

Looking for connections with my WALTON line that immigrated to Canada from England and Ireland in the early 1800. George WALTON m L. ORMSBY in England and after she died he married Sallie DOLAN in Ireland. Their children Henry m GIBLIN; Margaret m DONEGAN; Thomas m GIBLIN; Nathaniel m Bridget. My gggrandfather Thomas's son Robert WALTON b 1822, m Ann FEE in 1845 Hawley, Wayne Co PA. Their daughter Anna WALTON b 1855 m Anthony GERRITY. It seems that some of the WALTON line stayed in Canada, around Hamilton while others moved to Pennsylvania (Hawley, Scranton), New York (Kingston, New Amsterdam). My ggrandparents Anthony and Anna WALTON GERRITY and my grandparents Andrew and Agnes GERRITY SULLIVAN used to visit the WALTON in Canada. Surnames associated with this WALTON line includes FEE, GIBLIN, DONEGAN, KENNEDY, GERRITY, O’CONNOR, COUGHLIN, CAVENEY, MC ALOON, CAFFREY and many many more. Walton J.
