Within the study group you can discuss what you understand of the subject, what you don't understand with the hope that someone else there can explain it to you in a way that you do understand, and also to talk about any class assignments or presentations that may be required as part of the subject.

Pennsylvania Irish: Coal Region History
Most of the Irish, who settled in Pennsylvania coal regions, prior to the great Irish famine (1845-1849), came from the counties of Kilkenny and Laois, in south-central Ireland. These Irish immigrants usually had experience working in coal mines and quickly assimilated into that working environment, progressing up the ladder of promotions at a steady pace. The coal regions of Pennsylvania consisted of Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia, Carbon, Schuylkill and Northumberland counties.

The Origins of Coats of Arms
Coats of arms, often known as family crests, appeared first in England in the early 1300s and quickly spread throughout Europe. The 'science' of heraldry was thus established with rules and terms. Coats of arms were displayed on banners, tabards and, of course, shields. The term coat of arms was derived from the surcoat, a linen garment that was worn over the suit of armour when a nobleman, knight or landowner fought in battle. 'Surcoat' led to the term 'coat of arms'. Although coats of arms were very decorative, they grew out of a need to identify who was who in battle. Landowners had their own small private armies and took their followers off to battle, particularly during the Crusades. When...

Ant Control
There are two categories of ants, one that lives inside the house and the ones that make their nests outside the house. Ant control is a difficult process and different strategies are used for different types of ants. Effective controlling of ants starts with the identification of their nests. This also helps to know whether the ants are coming from inside the house or out side. Spraying ants on sighting them may prove useless as the ants sprayed will be only a part of the colony. The entire colony with the queen and the eggs are generally hidden. Eliminating the queens and the eggs in their nest is an effective remedy of getting rid of ants. Ants that live outside the house generally come into the...

Floods, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, and forest and prairie fires have wiped away many hometowns and homesteads. One of the main problems with natural disasters is that the records at the courthouse are cleaned up after the broken bodies, the broken houses, broken water mains, broken trees, and broken power poles. Of course, now we have electronic, off site, backups of all those records. The old data that has yet to be microfilmed is...
