My husband Rick Matthews lost his battle with lung cancer on Saturday, 2 Jul 2011. Please stop by and leave a note for him.
Rick and I were writing a book on the men of the 143rd PA Inf. and had located and photographed more than 1300 headstones of the 1526 men of that elite unit.
To honor my late husband, I will finish his book because it was so important to him that the men of the 143rd get the recognition they so richly deserve.
We appreciate the assistance of those who have helped us obtain photos from areas where we are not able to travel, and we return the favor by taking photos in our area for those who are unable to make it here to visit the graves of their ancestors. It's the next best thing to being there.
I have been doing genealogy for many years and run a free interactive genealogy group here in Luzerne Co., PA. We have more than 840 members from 14 countries on 4 continents, all with Luzerne Co., PA ancestors. Truly amazing!
You can find us at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_courthouse_gang/
Also, check out the Wilkes-Barre Record Almanacs: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wbalmanacs/index.html
(The Almanacs were transcribed by members of The Courthouse Gang on Yahoo.)
Please note: No transfers will be made if they are not requested by using the EDIT tab or if they are members of my family. | |

 | RE: Find A Grave Memorial# 29305603 Hi, Patty,
You've got better eyes than me! I enlarge some of these headstones to 400% and still can't make stuff out. :))
Thanks, CindyAdded by C H on May 11, 2013 8:47 AM | | | Vicki
