I'm planning to go to the FGS conference in Philadelphia in September, then go out and do some additional research on my colonial central Pennsylvania families. I would like to get some advice about which repositories to visit and which record types are available. I've used the Pennsylvania Archives series and other sources that are more widely available. The William Masden (also Masdon, Marsdon) family left Philadelphia County sometime during or after 1771 and was known to be in Derry Twp., Lancaster (now Dauphin) County from 1773 until 1777. >From 1778 to his death in 1796 William was in what is now Oliver Twp., Mifflin County. It was Derry Twp., Cumberland County, when he moved there. Thank you very much for any advice you can give or directions you can point me in. I can provide more info on what I have if that would be useful. If I can help you with Colorado research, I'll be happy to. Thank you very much!
