Just be sure you go to the Huntingdon County Historical Society. They have file folders with family lines. They also have card-catalog type files with birth (not so many of these appeared in the papers), marriages, obits records on them. You can then take the info you get (date) and go down to Juniata College Library to view the microfilm of the newspapers. The Huntingdon County Rootsweb site has some cemetery transcriptions. I'm hoping to go back this coming year since my son will be starting grad school at Penn State (we live in Missouri). Since I was there, some nice person has transcribed a cemetery that has my Lee ancestors buried in it. Have a great trip! The motel just across the river (south) from the old part of town is nice.
