Susie, You didn't indicate anything about your family's religious or cultural background, so this may not be appropriate, but I have found a lot of good information at the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Center < http://www.lmhs.org/> in addition to the two places already mentioned. Also, some of the individual townships in the county have historical or genealogical societies that offer old newspapers, etc. I spent a profitable evening at the Manheim Historical Society <http://manheimpa.com/> looking at microfilm copies of the Manheim Sentinel, and I know there are other local groups with similar holdings.
