Dear Connie:

On the blue line on the RootsWeb.com Schuylkill County Query Board you will find the words MESSAGE BOARD. Under the words you will find the SEARCH box and the word GO! Enter the following in the search box "Novicki+newspapers", click on the round circle before the words Schuylkill Board and go back and click on GO!

The results you get will be for many queries and answers about Newspapers available for Mahanoy City and Schuylkill Co. in general. I think that they will answer all of your questions.

The Pottsville free library has a collection of the Pottsville Republican which cover the year you are interested in. You may want to contact them and ask if they will do a look up for you and if they have a research fee. I know you will have to pay postage and copying costs. Contact the Reference Department, the URL follows:

You may want to go to the Pottsville Republican newspaper web site, URL follows:

< http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/usstate/usatable.htm >

Click on Pennsylvania and then on Pottsville Republican.

Regards,
Jack Novicki
