It sure seems to me that many of our Abruzzi ancestors settled in the coal mining areas of Pennsylvania. My family lived in north central PA---the DuBois area. : I wonder if coal mines recruited poor farmers from Abruzzo to come, or why so many ended up in Penn? Perhaps they still wanted to be in a mountainous, snowy area? : Does anyone know anything about this? : Thanks : Deb Follow Ups: Re: Abruzzis in Pennsylvania sandy falcon   Posted at: 06/07/02 (0 replies) Re: Abruzzis in Pennsylvania Andrea Maxwell-Newton   Posted at: 08/07/01 (1) Re: Abruzzis in Pennsylvania Dennis DePerro   Posted at: 06/20/03 (0 replies) Re: Abruzzis in Pennsylvania Wm.Di Cioccio   Posted at: 07/14/01 (1) Re: Abruzzis in Pennsylvania william r.
