Sunbury is near the confluence of the North & West branches of the Susquehanna River. It is situated on the east side of the river, just below the confluence. This will show on any map of Pennsylvania you look at. Highway maps will show where US Routes 11 and 15 converge on the west side of the Susquehanna River. Sunbury is directly across, on the east side of the river.

Yes i have also,but not all the list just a few.

Hi, I had no mail from roots web for over a week, and when I asked, someone from another list told me that most, if not all, of the roots web site was down and they were not sure when it would be back up. Obviously it must be back as your message came through. Pat Raymond

Some of the lists have been down due to problems at Rootsweb. They say that messages are now flowing but backlog is delayed until the archives are caught up.
