Loking for info on a John or Johann Gil, gill or Gillis, in the Nanticoke Pa. area around 1900. I know he died in 1911 in a mine accident. and that he was in the 1910 census, but I cant find anything before that. 1910 census says he came from Galatia, possibly with some children about 1892. Any help??
