Hello Listers again... My apologies... I was informed that I had the wrong "year" listed in my posting about the FREE Advanced Genealogical Workshop hosted by The Perry Historians.... should have been 2011! Woops! Old habits! Donna Heller Zinn volunteer / director of The Perry Historians

Hello Fellow Listers: The Perry Historians will be hosting their FREE Advanced Genealogical Workshop on Saturday, April 9, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the Harry Lenig Library (home of The Perry Historians). Harry Focht, one of our founding fathers will be the head speaker and presenter on this day. He will be making suggestions on various types of courthouse documents that you may not normally think of being used for genealogical research... as well as other "hidden" places to look for family information... which may help to knock down those "brick walls". We will be breaking for lunch, which you will be on your own. There are various eating establishments nearby for you to visit, or you may pack your lunch and eat in our kitchen area. After lunch, we will be concluding our presentation and there should be plenty of free time for you to use our facility and do some research on your families. So make sure you bring along your research materials and family genealogies. Again, this is FREE and there is no need to register... but we do ask that if you feel you may be interested in attending, please let us know so that should we have any handouts, we know how many copies to make. The Harry Lenig Library (The Perry Historians) is located on the right hand side of Rte. 34 North, just 2 miles from the square of New Bloomfield, Center Twp., Perry Co., PA. .... or on the left hand side of Rte. 34 South, about 4 miles from Newport, Oliver Twp., Perry Co., PA.. Our physical street address is: 763 Dix Hill Rd., New Bloomfield, PA. 17068. For more info on our library, feel free to visit our website: www.ThePerryHistorians.org Look forward to seein' you there!

I agree with you about the record keeping ..I was told by a cousin of mine who works for the state college up there that before 1973 it was not law to keep records such as Birth death marriage,divorce.etc. the only ones who had anything would be churches and then it was just for their own use. and of course I ran into Priest/Monsignor's who didn't believe in Geneology...yeaaaaa!...lol Anyway...I would love to see if we are looking for the same family?...My e-mail is [email protected] Best Regards,Deb Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
