I am searching for information/connection on my ancestors who immigrated from
Ireland, some migrated to Wales (Rhymney and Tredegar areas) and then to the
Luzerne/Lackawanna Counties areas of North East PA. Many settled in the Old
Forge, Minooka, Taylor areas of Scranton. PA. My GERRITY/GERAGHTY lines
appear to have moved back and forth to Wisconsin, Carbondale and Scranton. My
SULLIVAN line settled in the Taylor and Scranton area however many of the
children were females and I am having troubles locating the SULLIVAN ladies
as they married and moved away. SULLIVAN line were primarily miners while the
GERRITY line were primarily railroaders. Patrick SULLIVAN married Ellen
CUMMINGS 1863 in Bedwelty, Wales. The earliest members of the CUMMINGS branch
were of Irish descent but born in Wales. Herewith are some of the surnames I
am trying to research that started in and around Luzerne and Lackawanna Co.
