Could somebody on the list answer the following questions? 1. What are the hours of the Montgomery County Historical Society on DeKalb St.? 2. There is a Wissahickon Valley Historical Society in Blue Bell and a Lansdale Historical Society in Lansdale. Do they have libraries or collections of material, or are they just societies that hold meetings and correspond? If they do have libraries, does anyone know their hours? 3. I am assuming the County archives, Historical Society, and the PA Room of the Norristown Public Library will be my main resources. Are there any other societies or places I could check for information on people living in Whitpain township - Center Square in the 18th century?

Carole I didn't see a reply, so will let you know on the Lansdale Historical Society....there is a fair sized library there, but they are only open on Wed. afternoons. Probable that you would find most of the material at the Montgomery Co. Historical Society library, which I would judge to be about five times or more larger. Tried to get MCHS hours on their web-site but it's down. Historical Society of Montgomery County 1654 DeKalb Street, Norristown, PA 19401 610/272-0297 Don't forget that a lot of Montgomery Co. material is in the Historical Society of Penna. http://www.libertynet.org/pahist/ Open to members and the public: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. (no admissions after 4:00 p.m.), Wednesdays from 2:00 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. (no admissions after 8:00 p.m.). The Society is closed Sundays, Mondays, and major holidays. The daily admission fee for non-members is $5.00 Bill -----Original Message----- From: Faust, Carole [mailto:CFAUST@mail.montcopa.org] Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2000 8:31 AM To: PAMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [PAMONTGO-L] Research in Montgomery County Carole *3441 -----Original Message----- From: Carol Cummings [mailto:cumincl@erols.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2000 11:26 PM To: PAMONTGO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [PAMONTGO-L] Research in Montgomery County I'm planning a trip to Norristown next week to try to research some ancestors.
