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:
