Comment by Dawn Kurth-Minard on February 2, 2011 at 8:57pm: Searching for Kurth info in Montgomery Co

Comment by Jeanne Imperati on January 28, 2011 at 6:03pm: I am researching: Logsdon, Durbin, Simons and wells w/ related families.

Comment by Family Griot on January 26, 2011 at 12:16pm: I came across this file while requesting information on my own family. I believe that they were added to my information on accident. But my minor annoyance could be someone's good fortune. This is a service record and disabilty record for a James Straney who served in Co A. 57th PA Infantry. I hope this helps someone.

Comment by Kathy Boody on September 30, 2010 at 6:52am: Im related to all of the Kinters from Pa. and so many other families as well.

Comment by Robert Lee Gavin on September 10, 2010 at 10:26am: Gail, I'm not familiar with Coaldale, PA, except one of them is located not too far from Allentown, PA. However, I did a quick search for Joseph and Rose Gruszka on Ancestry.com and found a couple by that name on the 1930 census living in Chicago. They were both born in Poland, he around 1888, her around 1890. They had 4 children ages 11 to 19, but no Katherine or John.

There is also a WWII draft registration (April 26, 1842) for Joseph Gruszka, age 54, living in Cleveland. Rose Gruszka is listed as his contact person.

You may know all this, or maybe it's not connected, but I'll pass it on since it's not a common surname. Good luck.

Comment by Gail Ann Gruszka Reitz on September 9, 2010 at 9:37pm: Im new to the group too Robert, I am looking for a marriage for Joseph Gruszka and Rose Bonk in either town of Coaldale Penn. One is in Bedford county and the other in Schuykill. One clue is that my Grandparents had two of their children there Katherine "Katie" 12 Sept 1914 and John "Johnie" on 02 June1916. If someone here knows of those towns I would really appreciate some information regarding the above. Thanks.

Comment by Robert Lee Gavin on September 9, 2010 at 5:59pm: new to this group, looking forward to getting involved. My Irish, German, English and French ancestors settled in the Philadelphia area.

Comment by Lewis Hartswick on September 8, 2010 at 9:44pm: I am trying to determine if the Frank Edward Hartswick (1914-1936) ,Son of
John George Hartswick (1873-1952) that I have in my family tree is the same
one I discovered in California married to a Margaret Seigler. The California one
had a son Donald James (1936- ) born in CA.
The Pa., Frank may have lived in Altoona as a youngster but I'm not sure. He is
buried there. I haven't found him on census records. I have not found any index
of marriages for Blair Co. ???
Thanks for any help or ideas.

Comment by Pauline Gray-Snitwongse on July 29, 2010 at 10:47pm: Hi Jayne, I am researching my McCormick ancestors who lived in New Castle, Pa. and Pittsburgh area. I beleive the arrival date was 1857 from Londonderry. Their names were John S. and Catharine McCormick (McCormic, McCormack) John's father might have been Thomas. Does any of this ring a bell for you?
