Anthracite Genealogy Services

Kate S. Gibbons, Genealogist

 

Providing genealogical research in the historic Pennsylvania anthracite coal region: specializing in Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Schuylkill Counties, including the cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre and over 150 towns and boroughs. The region and its people drove America's Industrial Revolution, as tens of thousands of its laborers once mined the world's largest deposits of anthracite "hard" coal.
