Lost in Pennsylvania -Try the Published Pennsylvania Archives

This is a partner event. Speaker: Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer, MLS. The Pennsylvania Archives is a set of 138 published volumes in 10 series that can be overwhelming to the genealogist who first sees them. However, searching in these volumes can help you locate information about what an ancestor was doing at a given time, and where s/he was doing it. If an ancestor surfaces in Western Pennsylvania or Ohio, information in these volumes may help you to learn where s/he was before that time. Most information in the published Pennsylvania Archives covers from the colonial period through about 1850. This talk will discuss how to access the Pennsylvania Archives and give you a plan of attack to work through them to get the most information. Register.
