Marie I didn't get the draft registration. And what is/was Walter's last name? LeAnn marie yeager <firehorse1331@gmail.com> wrote: Good morning LeAnn, I am attaching a copy of Walters Draft registration. It does appear and is indexed as Aiella, however when I researched the area I did locate a mine in Avella so I believe Avella would be correct. I have attached a copy of the scan. The following is an excerpt from an e-mail I sent to Tom a bit over a week ago. It list the locations and dates as I have been able to put them together. I will add a few notes after. John H. First Born: his obit lists 1914-2003 His wife supplied the obit and Listed his location as Tams W VA (ssdi lists his DOB 10 May 1914) *(It is my belief the marriage took place in this general location near of After August 1914)* Edward Second Born: His obit lists him as born abt 1916? his birth as Glen Robbins W VA (which is actually in PA near the W VA border.) (SSDI lists his DOB 1 Jan 1916)*(This is Toms Father)* Mitchel Third Born: His obit lists him born abt 1917-1918 (draft reg says 1917) Pittsburgh PA. (SSDI lists his DOB 19 Nov 1917) Walter JR. I anticipate is still alive??? Census indicates he was born about 1918-1919 This the case, that would make him about 90. That is the man to talk to!!!! Walter SR Arrives port of New york March 15 1910, draft card places him in Avella (Aiella PA.) dated Sept 12 1918, 1910 census places him in Pemberton district of Glen White WVA Family residence 1930 pearl street toledo Walter Jr's location of birth is important to me. It will place the family between 1918 and 1930 as we have yet to locate the family in 1920. *Walter's wife Anna arrived in 1911, Her passenger record Lists her as married with the destination to meet with her husband Jozef Sochacki in NYC. Anna's Maiden name was Berezowska. So she was in the states prior to meeting Walter. * *I believe if we can locate the church records, we can then locate the Marriage info as well. * ** *If you or anyone were able to assist with this I know he would be willing to reimburse for any expenses. Just let me know. * ** *It was kind of a surprise to him to find his grandmother had a prior marriage. I have the Census from 1910 and 1930, Have been searching page by page Wva, Washington Co PA, and Jefferson and Belmont Co Oh census to attempt to locate the family in the 1920 census. As he was indexed by ancestry in 1910 as "Ulorduslop Slytnicks" who knows how he will appear in 1920 (i had thought i had located the 1920 census at one point in yet another mine town, however for the life of me,I am either mistaken or just misplaced the record.)* ** *If i can provide more information that may be of help, please let me know.* ** *Marie* ** ** ** On 4/4/08, LeAnn Cook wrote: > Marie: > > If you could give me the name of Tom's parents and some dates I will see what I can pull up.

There are folks from PA who also attend the meeting. Also, the group has a monthly newsletter and I can request help from any of the members, if you would like to try that route.

This is a small town just across the WV state line about I would guess 10 miles away from the State Line. It is probably a 1/2 drive from my home. If the family is from Avella PA as opposed to Aiella, PA then they are from Washington County PA.
