We have talks weekly
generally, because we are two hours long. We have our mini
talk about 40 minutes into the evening. We can send you a
copy if you desire and are unable to make the SIG. We are
presenting the counties in the order of the development of
the state, so one can understand the boundary change, made
by each county. We cover many areas of research each week.
We do a talk and help in all areas each week, not just the
area the talk is about. What questions we do not get
answered during the SIG we try to get a letter to you before
next meeting in regard to missed questions. We cover:
history, genealogy, surnames, census, wills, probate
situations, orphan court procedures and other items relating
to research. We present a series of URLs each week, to
assist others.

MidAtlantic meets (MET) Tuesday
10-12 PM in Golden Gates. We
cover the states: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Washington, DC, and Virginia.
You may wonder why Virginia, but it was an early single
state not splitting apart until after Civil War. It also
carries much records for Southwest Pennsylvania. Virginia in
later years was definitely a southern state but early years
that was not the case. It even claimed land to the
Mississippi River.
As Pennsylvania was
claimed early the top 1/3 by Connecticut and the bottom by
Maryland, the eastern shores squabbled but never was as
dominate. The SW section of Pennsylvania was developed and
claimed, taxed and governed by Virginia.
We also would like to see
guest speakers and are open to a email. Please
