Judy The gentlemen's posting was correct except for spelling. The Monongehela River and the Allegheny River merge at Pittsburg to become the Ohio River. There is a Monongalia County in West Virginia that borders the State of Pennsylvania to its North. County seat is Morgantown. There is also a Monongah, West Virginia in Marion County. I had family from West Virginia and had a time figuring out if they came from Taylor County or Tyler County. They were from both. I use a combination of a Rand McNalley Road Altas and a Post Office Zip Code Directory. The atlas list county names, in dark bold type, along with the names of cities and towns. The Zip Code Directory is suppose to list the name of the county, but sometimes lists a real small post office with the name of a larger post office that services that particular Zip Code. So double check one against the other. Hope this helps Take care & God Bless Jerry Kelley Indiana ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Fri, 19 Jun 1998 22:34:32 -0500 "George Basden" <gebasden@worldnet.att.net> writes: >Judy: I suspect your are referring to Monongohilia or something like >that. > There is a river that runs through Pittsburgh with that name so I >suspect >the county you are looking for is in Pennsylvania.
