I would hope that there really aren't any "boundaries" in our genealogy. My ancestors came from the Mon Valley, Pittsburgh (Library, Bethel Park, which incorporated the "town" of Mollenauer in the 1950's), Washington City, Canonsburg, Beallsville. I'm from Charleroi, but I was baptised in Derry. I've never been to Derry as an adult, but I'd like to someday. The Allegheny rootsweb, in my opinion, isn't worth subscribing to, so I don't. I get PAWASHIN and PAMONVAL. I also get a rootsweb site in Mississippi. Now, that's out of the way, but the Mississippi River runs into the Ohio, which runs into the Monongahela, so are they related? My Mississippi ancestors ended up in Charleroi? Loaded question, huh? Robert D. Mollenauer, Jr. Ridgecrest, CA -- Gateway to Death Valley Ridgecrest Eagles Aerie 3243 China Lake Moose Lodge 258
