18 October Genealogy Meeting Bonita - Sunnyside Library.

Hi all, Mid Atlantic Research We covered. If you could not find us they moved us to a Study Room due to Voting Training by County. We did finally get one note posted to the door. Thank You Librarians for that. We have been talking about the Mid Atlantic Region for a couple of months. Bringing Maps and Atlas for the eyes to see, many times makes this comment more relevant. Boundaries change, Boundaries did change greatly in some regions and shrunk also. Somehow seeing the change makes it grasped easier. Bringing many states books and maps for grasping this seemed to make a large discovery where members were looking. The look of "O MY that much difference". When I brought the book earlier this year on Pennsylvania, John Finch was excited to see how well this book showed the Pennsylvania changes. From just starting to completion of the states lines you can see the changes easily from big to little. Then small to much bigger. This Title is PENNSYLVANIA LINE, A research to Pennsylvania Genealogy and Local History. Southwest Pennsylvania Genealogical Services P. O Box 253, Laughlintown, Pennsylvania 15656 4th Edition.

I bought mine on Ebay in 1994/5 on ebay, When Vicki Porter Adams of Greene Co. Pa passed away in 1995 I inherited her genealogy data. We were connected probably 5 or more ways, we started with Huffman/Hoffman. She introduced me to this book. ISBN 0-944128-08-4. A side note, it is created on long-life paper. It lists so much information for us to use that does not go out print for genealogists. Churches, County's, Towns, Family Genealogies. Data on Newspapers, County Histories, Census, Rare Maps Reprints, Landowner maps, by Depository Libraries, Topographic ones also for information where to find.

Due to hours change we did not cover all of the region yesterday. Yes we talked about our ancestors. Yes, Some are of Indian extraction. Some may be of many other lineages. We are a melting pot. I am proud of my heritage, having Indian on both parents sides and other nationalities also. We looked at an old Atlas 1800's and it was very fascinating to see the changes in the world. We discussed where the attendees were stuck and needed more help. I may cover the other states on here and then next month move to the area they are lost in finding results We covered this as they wished. If you want an area covered please advise me. It sounds like Connecticut and New York are next. So much to learn so little time. Mid Atlantic covers Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware. and West Virginia. My cousin covered Delaware her home state when we did this series. Remembering West Virginia split from Virginia at the time of the Civil War. We can cover more of that if any of you need it.
