I am from Phoenix, Arizona and have been back to the Library in Meadville to use the Genealogy section to find information on my family. I found the Genealogy Society area very helpful, more so then the library it self. No one asked where I was from. I thank they would be surprised how many people from out of state use the Genealogy Society and library in Meadville. We stayed in Meadville for 3 nights and 4 days at a cost of about $500.00 to the economy of Meadville. If it had not been for the genealogy Societies collection I would have only been there one day or not stayed at all. So they are missing out on money for the city. It is a same that they are so backward in thanking. I have done a lot of Genealogy research all over then USA and find most of the information in library's that have a large Genealogy section. I hope that they make room for the History and Genealogy section of Crawford County in the library. George Rupp --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
