Poorhouses were a very real facet of the past. When I first came to Lancaster Co., PA, friends referred to a place outside of Lancaster called "Poorhouse Hill" - when I asked about it, I found out that there really HAD been a poorhouse on that site - it is now a nursing home. I'm sure poorhouses can be a very important source of genealogical information; as evidenced by the referenced web site. -----Original Message----- From: REDSKI9136@aol.com <REDSKI9136@aol.com> To: PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com <PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, August 03, 2000 9:03 PM Subject: [PACHESTE] Link not Geneology??- message below >Subj: Re: [PACHESTE] Check out The Poorhouse Story >Date: 8/3/00 6:47:19 PM Eastern Daylight Time >From: ferg@intelos.net (Sandra Ferguson) >Reply-to: ferg@intelos.net (Sandra Ferguson) >To: REDSKI9136@aol.com > > We all get so many emails a day, with all the various lists we belong >to, that we'd appreciate it id you didn't send these "cute" emails...the are >pointless and sure clog up the inbox.
