Does anyone know of any recent books (last 2 or 3 years) about Chester Co. - genealogy or history? I took a quick look at the Chester Co. website and clicked on a few of the links but didn't see a list of books. Thanks, Helen

Hi, I am going to be in Philadelphia in a couple of weeks, and this may seem like a stupid question to many, but where is Chester in relation to Philadelphia? And how can I find out if my ancestors, John and Elizabeth Pearson Townsend, and Richard Townsend of the Welcome, owned property and where it was? Also, how can I find out where they were buried? Thanks, Kim Townsend Spangrude >

You might want to try some of the bookseller sites, to see if there is anything 'new'...are you looking for something specific or just new? Here are a few....
