Hi Tina, More accurately, they all went to Mahanoy Plane, PA. I believe that there was only one prior visit, 1905-06, to a place labeled Bookrum. There does not seem to be such a location. However, less than 10 miles from Mahanoy Plane (near Frackville) we can find a place called Buck Run. I don't see a Hrycko associated with Mikołaj Waryszczak. The name is fairly clear and spelled Hawrylo. The two Hrycko teenagers might well have traveled with Mikołaj, but I would not reach a conclusion that they are all related. It is possible that the families knew each other and had the youngsters make the trip with an "experienced" traveler. Cheers, Roman Poddaj się; to zadanie zostaje niemożliwym. Give up - and the problem becomes impossible. [Set your Character Coding to Unicode (UTF-8).] Tina Ellis wrote: > Sobko Hawrylo is what the name of the cousin looks like.

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=&city=Mahanoy&state=PA&zipcode=&country=US&geodiff=1 Looks like there are two places name Mahanoy in Schuykill County. One is Mahanoy Plane, and the other is Mahanoy City. I had a cousin, who lived in the city. I never knew about Mahanoy Plane. Most of my Polish relatives lived in this coal mining area in places like Shamokin, Ranshaw/Renshaw, Scranton, Hazleton, Dickson City, Ashley, Wilkesbarre, Lee Park, Buttonwood, Mountain Top (renamed Joe Palooka Mountain), etc. covering Schuykill, Northampton, Lackawanna and Luzerne counties.

Tina, After reading your information posted below, I decided to respond by asking a few questions about the areas you listed. My grandmother came to the US, Northampton in 1909. My cousin said the worked in a cigar factory. Is there any way I can find information on where these factories would have been and would there still be records? I have never been able to find out where she lived at that time, although I have records after 1911. Thanks for any suggestions or help.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Ellis" <polska.research@gmail.com> To: <polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 2:56 PM Subject: Re: [PBS] waryszczak http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=&city=Mahanoy&state=PA&zipcode=&country=US&geodiff=1 Looks like there are two places name Mahanoy in Schuykill County.
