am new to this list. Westmoreland County is new territory that I am treading for family research. I sent this same email to the Westmoreland Historic List. I later realized that it was probably wrong. So I went back searching for this list and now am sending it to this list. Sorry if you get this same email twice. My great grandfather lived in Seward when he died in 1956. Formerly from Johnstown. I am looking to search for his estate file and property deed. I know that Seward is approximately 8 miles from Johnstown, but where do I need to go in Westmoreland County to find the info I am seeking? What and where is the county seat located? Where might I find a historical society or archives for this area? Is there a public library or research library that would be of use to me at this time? What records and documents do these places hold? I am also interested in the addresses, phone numbers, and operating hours that the above places may be found. Any help would be appreciate. Thank you Sharon
