Tink, I found what I was in search of. There is a book made up from the original Alms House Records in the Mifflin County Historical Society......I found a few names that I was not looking for but, could never find. I did get a chance to see the original Book and then checked the information with the book that was made from the original records ....I checked to see if I had all the information on the one person that I was searching and yes.....all information in both books are the same. I think it is great to get a chance to go through any old records. In some cases see your Great Grandparents signature.......I love old photo's........I collect everything to verify my families. Thank you for sending those links....I went in and, found another family member in Blair County......... I am keeping the link for future use. Again, Thank you Kindly, Bea [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tink Miller" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2005 12:12 PM Subject: [PAMIFFLI] Alms Houses > > > Someone on one of these lists was asking about Alms Houses.
