    1. Cemeteries near Follansbee
    2. Pat Sommerfield
    3. Hi, I am trying to find a list of the persons buried in cemeteries near Follansbee. I am guessing maybe Oak Grove Cemetery. The GenWeb site shows the cemeteries, but only a partial listing. I was wondering if anyone has done a complete listing, or would look up someone for me. My g-grandmother's brother Antony Bronis Krystyniak (Krystynak, Kristynak, etc) lived in Follansbee with his wife and 12 children from about 1916 on. His wife Josephine died in Follansbee in 1976, and I am assuming he died in the area also. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Pat --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FCC.2ACE/2046 Message Board Post: I have found two relatives listed in the 1850 Census in Brooke County. They are 16 and 11 and not living with their parents, who also appear in the census, but on prior pages, but with a Buchanan family. I noted that on pages 40 and 41, of the census, many person were listed as "students" and living with other families or together. Was there a large school there that children would have boarded at? Many of the "students"were from other states also. I can not read the name of the town at the top of the pages. Any information would be helpful.
