I have just returned from visiting the Bradford County PA Historical Society.  The comments were positive and shared that it is part of researching a family history.   Very neat by the way.  Bradford Historical Society is housed in the original Towanda jail.  The indexes will tell you that family histories are found in cell 308.  So impressive and they also house a museum.   Towanda is also the home base for the Marcellus Drilling here in Pennsylvania and the town and even the historical society reflects that.       ~ Nancy   PAGenWeb   ·         BucksCountyHistory ·         Bucks GenWeb ·         Northampton GenWeb ·       PAGenWeb ·         Nockamixon >________________________________ >From: Deloris Williams <del_williams@comcast.net> >To: state-coord@rootsweb.com >Sent: Thursday, August 9, 2012 4:04 PM >Subject: Re: [STATE-COORD] State Coordinators > >"Drawn and quartered"?  No. >You are exactly right about our Project and I totally agree about our jobs >as SC and ASC for our States, we are the front line for each of our States >and under no circumstances should we be standing back and letting our >Projects go down.  While I haven't been with the USGenWeb as long as a lot >of you, I have always thought that this was the greatest Project of its kind >and almost everybody who has done any genealogy research has heard of us.
