My father (Robert "Mike" Mannion) was born in Mt. Carmel in 1917 and grew up there. While he is visually impaired and cannot appreciate this website, I have read everything to him and he can remember all of the sites that have pictures.

I am a former resident of Kulpmont of the 1940's but now live in Port Orange, FLorida. Loved your photos and must admit I reminisced somewhat. I spent a lot of time in your town, my sister still lives there. Before I was born, around 1914, my father had a grocery store in Diamondtown. My mother's first husband was killed at Sayre Colliery in 1912. Pete Bohaczyk

My ancetors along with thousands of men and boys were coal miners. They worked long hours in the darkness of the underground for low wages. Myself, as well as others wish to honor them for the sacrifices they made. it is our hope that a postage stamp will be issued recognizing the efforts of these men and boys. Therefore, we urge you to contact your local, state and federal officals. Tell them about your father who used pick and shovel to dig the coal, and then came home coughing and wheezing from the coal dust he inhaled that day. Tell them about your grandfath r who as a small boy picked slate out of the coal as a breaker boy. Let these political leaders know the stories of your loved ones and the importance of seeing the stamp come into being. These individuals helped shape America for what it is today. This postage stamp needs to be approved and issued so that their endeavors will not be forgotten

My parents, John & Phoebe(Thompson)Zelez moved from Mt. Carmel to Bensalem, Pa. in 1955. My Dad was a coal miner. My Mom had worked in ?Pachuda's? drug store. We visited our Mt. Carmel relatives frequently. I love my memories of Knoebels Grove as a chi d AND as a parent! Putting your children into their grandparents arms to ride the carousel together was awesome!!! When I'm at the park now I can still see us running to find our parents to plead for more money for rides. I hope it always remains a "fa ily" place.

Looking for geneaolgy information on surname of Morgan. Uncle Milt (Milton) Morgan lived on North Hickory Street in Mount Carmel for many years. He was one of five children (Emma, Annie, Ray, Milton and Wilford ... my father) born to Ananias and Fannie Morgan in Trevorton, PA. Emma married John Partridge and Annie married B. Frank Derk. Ananias is my genealogy "brick wall"! He was born in 1859 and was killed in a mine accident in the North Franklin Colliery, Trevorton, PA in 1902. I have not been able to find the name of his parents. If anybody has information about the family, or anyone I could contact to get additional information about the elusive Grandpa Ananias, please contact me. Thank you!

Looking for any Halkowicz, Halko, Halcovich/Halkovich. I am doing research on these names and any variations. Halkowicz is the original spelling. They are Rusyns from present day southeast Poland. Known villages these folks came from are: Binczarowa, and Bogusa. Families I know of: Nikolaj and Pearl, settled in Atlas, PA sometime around 1888. Children were: Mary, Anna, Olga, Mike, George, Walter, Victoria, Catherine, Johanna (living), and John (living). Michael and Lucia Halkowicz, settled in Atlas, PA 1890s (Michael Supposedly arrived June 23rd, 1887) and had: Mary, Julia, Tom, Alex, John, Anna (living), Pearl, Walter (living). Neftodi and Anastasia Halkowicz settled in Atlas, PA. (Neftodi is believed to be half brother to Micheal). Anastasia died 1918, and he remarried Tekla Howenec. Later he moved to Brady, PA. His children with Anastasia were: Jake, Stefan, Eva, Metro, and Ann (Rovito). Neftodi had other brothers: Theodore (wife was also a Tekla Shilosh), who lived in Mt Carmel area, and supposedly 3 others, John? Sam?, Daniel? who moved to Passaic, NJ. Other Halkowicz in NJ (Middlesex) were John and Peter. There are a bunch of other Halcovich in Central City, and they are supposed to be somehow related to Neftodi. Would like to hear from folks in Central City. Jacob and Fotia (Sofia) Halkovich, lived in St. Clair, PA. They had 2 children who died young, one was Anna, and the other was John? another known child was Mary (Krill). WOuld like to hear from decendents of Mary. George (Gregori) and Barbara Halcovich of Pottsville, Pa. (Name is now Halvovage, some are still living there. Gregori left for Manville, NJ 1920s? Finally, there was an Alexander and an Arafat living in Excelsior area in 1900 census. Do not know what happened to them. If your name is Halk, Halkowicz, Halcovich, Halkowich, etc, please let tell us your family history. I am attempting to trace all of these line from Poland to US.

I would be interested in hearing from any family members still living there. The site is nice, I especially enjoyed the old ictures. Thanks!

My mother was born in Mt.Carmel in 1896. Her father was the leading attorney, Clarence E. John, Esq. He lived at 38 East Ave. I enjoyed visits because I could go to Oak Ave. and spend the day in the many shops. Mt. Carmel was a very important part of y growing up. Really enjoyed you Home Page.

In tracing my grandfather's roots in Mt. Carmel, I was given much help by the good folks at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church. However, it was there that I hit a brick wall. I found that there was no cemetery and death records were kept before 1945 at the church. Can you suggest how I could go about a cemetery search for Martin Keating and Julia Brennan Keating? Family memory thinks he died in the flu epidemic of 1889 and we know nothing of Julia. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Th nk you, Charlie

Was back in town from Northern Indiana last weekend to celebrate Mom's 80th birthday. When we were growing up we lived in Maine, North Carolina, Virginia and Ohio. Upon our father's retirement from the Marine Corps we moved to Mt. Carmel, Mom's hometown Dad wanted to be here because he loved the town, people and family. Ironically, Mom now lives on west 6th St. about a block from Banana alley, where she was born. Anyone remember playing "hit the wickie (sp?)" at the corner of sixth and Vine? Jim - Cl ss of '69

My Father was born in Mt.Carmel in 1914 and passed away 2 years ago. His family owned Davis Bar and Grill. His name was Marvin Davis and he graduated from Mt.Carmel HS and was in the school band. He had a brother, William and his parents were Priscilla and Aleck. They are all buried up there. There was also a brother,Lester, who died when he was young. I think my Father was married to a woman named, Arlene before the family eventually moved to N.J. Does anyone have any information to share with me?

Hi. I attempted to link up to a couple of websites listed under "Area Links" but could not connect. I tried the "Genealogical Abstracts from the Mt. Carmel Ledger" but no URL was found. I also tried "Mother Cabrini Church" and ended up linking to some guy s website in Sacramento. Hope that things can be fixed. Thanks, Joe Turner.

My grandmother (Anna Vaitekunas) was raised in Mt. Carmel and in 1924 married a Lithuanian immigrant, Alexander Zumas, after his first wife, Mary (Mazur) died in 1923. My aunt, Julia (Vaitekunas) Connerton lived in Mt. Carmel all her life and died in Dec 1996. It's nice to see a Web site of my mother's family's hometown. Cheers

Thanks for this great web site. I was born in Strong (Green Ridge) way back in '34 and my family (ED & Marion Burnett Boyd) moved to Cleveland, OH in '41. My grandparents (Mason & Stella Trefsger) moved to Gowen City and later to Natalie. My g-grandmother, Kate Wilson, died in Mt. Car el in '50. I no longer have relatives living in Mt. Carmel; however, my brother and I meet there every couple of years and do a "memory lane" trip. I am researching my family history (Boyd, Allison, Mc Donald, Burnett, Chester, Wilson, Gallagher & Shoff er). If anyone has any info on these Surnames, please contact me. Thanks :-)

I live in Oklahoma City, OK and I work for thestate education department and must tell you that Mount Carmel had some great teachers. I cannot believe the violence that my children have to face day in and day out. I would love to be able to send my kids to my old school. I do not care what anyone says MCA is the greatest.

Stumbled across this page quite by accident. All I can say is Thank God I got out of this town. Even now when I visit my parents and read the local paper(Sound off) or talk to the "locals" I don't think I ever came across such ignorance in my life. When I visit I feel like I am part of the twilight zone and in a time warp. If I could use one word to describe it...would be grey. My children even say it feels as though there is a grey cloud hanging over this town. I think eatting all those perogies has turne your minds to dough!!!!

Great site. My mother was born there in 1936, her mother in 1914. As a Chicagoan, I really enjoy visiting the town annually and its down-to-earth citizenry. My fondest experience took place during Christmas 1996 when I strolled into Schu's (I believe) m n's store. The proprietors offered this stranger good cheer, food and drink. Just tremendous. I think if you're a native to Mt. Carmel, you may take for granted the close-knit community atmosphere. My uncle Albert Visintainer owns the motel on 4th and aple.

This novel is set in a fictional coal patch outside of Mt. Carmel. The web address is: http://www.ia.net/~gerryg I borrowed a few street names from Atlas, and invented The James Buchanan School.

Wow ! talk about nostalgia. Great Web page. Can't wait until I show my wife, (formerly Jeanette Kulick from Shamokin. We subscribe to the Mt.Carmel Item--called the News Item by some and stay fairly current with upstate events. Anyone remember when Woolworths sold "submarine sandwiches" outside every Saturday.....The old State Theater, the Hollywo d and the Vic? I'm in the Phila. area and see Buthcy Franks, Ron Pizzoli, Glen (Bonesy) Adams and Frank (Jiggs) Ficca a lot.

Great work, Jeff! I loved the touch with the Alma Mater! It's great to stop in every once in awhile and be hit with so many great memories of where I grew up. Immediately upon seeing the pictures, like Oak St. and the Anthracite field (on the K of C si e), it feels like I never left. I only lived in Mt. Carmel from 1969 (age 5) until 1982, when I went to college...but obviously they were the most important 14 years of my life! They helped make me who I like to think I am today, one who's honest, carin and proud! And while I have already spent most of my life living in other places, no matter where I go or how difficult it can sometimes be to explain to others exactly where I am from...it will always be MT. CARMEL! To anyone who knows me from MCA...hello! Feel free to e-mail me sometime! I'd love it! So long and God bless! John T. Nicodem, Jr. MCAHS Class of 1982 Taylor, PA P.S. GO BIG RED!

I'm enjoying your web site. I lived in Mt. Carmel during the 50's and graduated from Mt. Carmel High School in 59. My Dad, Rev. Harold J. Barrett was for many years the minister at the Primitive Methodist Church located at 33 N. Market St. My two brothers Richard and Harold Barrett who live in Lebanon and Harrisburg, respectively still attend the football games each fall.

I spent the first four years of my life in Mount Carmel and visited it frequently when I was young. My fondest memories are of huckleberries, milk and sugar for breakfast (after picking them ourselves). I never dreamed that I would one day be able to vis t there from my current home in Eldersburg, Maryland. I am researching my family names, Furlani and Bianchi, my roots in Mount Carmel. Some other names of interest are Bailoni, Bridi, Chetti, Ficca, Pieri, and Concini. The spellings may be off. I would be interested in hearing from anyone with information they would like to share.
