Looking for information on a great-Aunt:
Janet Elizabeth Thomas b. 24 jun 1867 Pittston, Luzerne Co., Pa. and d. 13 aug 1935 ? [This info. I found on LDS site.] I've also seen her name spelled Jannette in census reports.
Her parents were Isaac Thomas b. 9 feb. 1838 Wales, and Ann Jenkins b. 29 apr 1840 also Wales.
She had four sisters, Marianna, Ida Mae, Charlotte, and Gertrude, and one brother, my great-grandfather John J.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

There is another entry on the IGI that says Janette E Thomas married Harold De Forest Jones. 23 October 1890 Pittston, Luzerne, Pennsylvania. ;)

Hi, yes I saw that, but I'm not sure if this is the same Janet, the trail goes cold. But I'll keep looking. Thank you.

There is also a family tree with her entry stating married to Harold (mentioned above - same date of marriage) . There are listings for her siblings with one having a picture(of brother John) . If there is any help I can be to you with this , let me know and I'll do what I can for you .

Thank you for your reply, yes I've seen the census reports, and her brother was my great-grandfather. The site your talking about with the pictures is probably mine or one of my cousins. We have all kinds of info. on John but very little on his sisters.
I got the name of her husband ?? from the LDS site, but outside of that no real proof this is the Janet I'm looking for or what happen to them. Did they have kids, and lots of other question.
Again thank you for your reply. :)
