Hello everyone
I have been watching on this list for some time and am amased at the level of knowledge of list members.
I was wondering if anyone can send me in some kind of direction for the following. My g-grandfather Peter O'Neill left Scotland for Philadelphia in the mid 1870's. His last child was born there in 1881. Between then and 1885 when his wife married again in Scotland, he, according to verbal history was in a mining accident and died two weeks later from the burns. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
