      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.ballon/4.1.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Frank, I don't know if we are related or not.  There's always strong possibly though.  I know my great grandfather had a brother named Peter and his wife was Kate.  They lived for a while with my Great Grandfather Michael and his wife Mary.  I believe they along with several other Balons' moved to Springville NY.  My Mom told me that the Balons' in Springville spell the name Ballon.  They are related to us.  I would not be surpised if we are related.  Do you when your grandfather came to the US from Poland?  My great grandfather came before the ellis island site was the only port of entry required.  I know everyone was required to come through ellis island by 1892.  I have looked on the new ellis island site and I have not found my great grandfather listed so I assume my great aunt was right.  I am still trying to find his marriage license so I can get a better idea.  I am also looking for naturalization records as they might give more ideas.  By the was, is Freeland, PA?  I was raised in Bradford PA just on the border of western NY, I don't recognize the name.  Is it near Scranton?  Thanks for your time.  If you wish you can email me directly at my email address which is &lt;a href="mailto://gracemw@juno.com"&gt;gracemw@juno.com&lt;/a&gt;  Thanks again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Grace</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.ballon/4.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Hello:&lt;br&gt;My Grandfather, Frank Balon, migrated from Poland in the late 19th century.  I believe that he had a brother Michael who came to Pennsylvania sometime later.  Frank settled in a small mining town in Northeast Pa. named Freeland. There he opened a bar and boarding house.  My Father Stanley, who was born in 1919, took over this buisness after returning home from WW2.  Stanley is the youngest of 6 children.  I was born in 1960 and still live in the same building that my Grandfather started the bar in.  The bar no longer exists.</description>

      <title>Balon family from Poland</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.ballon/4/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>My great grandfather Michael Balon came from the area of Galicya, Poland in the 1890's. His brother Peter also came. Michael took up residence in Pennsylvania. He worked for the BRP railroad in Bingham, Mckean County, PA. I understand that his brother Peter went to Springfield, NY. An hour or so outside of Buffalo. I am trying to find those who might be related. Thanks</description>
