Tina, my mother, Marion Lukowiak, born in 1898, lived in Detroit and worked in a cigar factory somewhere between 1915 and 1920. How does one search for records concerning cigar factories?

There were a couple of cigar factories in Shenandoah, PA. If you look at the census records, you will see that many of the young girls worked in the cigar factories until they married. -----Original Message----- From: Tina Ellis <polska.research@gmail.com> To: polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 7:36 pm Subject: Re: [PBS] Northampton, Pa Did a search for cigar factories in that area.
