Dear Bill: Hope Judi isn't reading this, however, yes I do read a little German enough to get me by that I could recognize a birth, death, dates of person, etc. I will be going to WVA about last week of May and once settled in for awhile I will start taking trips about the area. I understood however, that Waynesburg (boro) was were I might want to go for Greene County, PA records. But I'll just try all and everything. Hopefully I will also have a computer while in WVA and will notify all of what if anything I am finding. Ok Judi now you can start laughing about my French.
