Thanks for replying. I'm beginning to think this was an Irish neighborhood in a
larger town that a lot of people might have been familiar with at that time. Thanks
again. Sheila K.

Sheila, I have a program called Space Finder. I cannot find any
listing of
Broomville but I found a Broomall in Delaware county. I lived in PA for 67
years before moving to Florida in 1991 and I never heard of Broomville. Perhaps
a program that has the old areas with their modern names would help. I have
heard of such a program but currently I cannot remember the name of the program.
If she went to Scranton, check with the Chamber of Commerce in Luzerne County
and ask if they have any record of the old location.
Warren

Fellow Listers:
Has anyone ever heard of "Broomville" anywhere in PA. A 1903 NY passenger list
from Britain states the passenger (and her children) had a ticket to Scranton
with her final destination being her mother and brother in "Broomville, Pa.".
Can't find it on a map and a Google search offers lots of hits for Ireland.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks. Sheila K.
