Places of historical interest are quickly disappearing. Whether through the ravages of time or progress, our history is slowly being lost to us. Buildings are being destroyed, names on tombstones are disappearing, historical documents are ending up in trash heaps. I remember a quote that said if we ignore history we have neither a past nor a future. My desire is to capture history before the knowledge of our past disappears completely.

My primary interests at this time are northern Allegheny, Westmoreland and Armstrong Counties in Pennsylvania. I hope to capture images in words or pictures so our history is recorded. Be sure to send e-mail to let me know what you think (or to contribute articles or ideas). I'll be updating frequently, so check back often!

All of the families that I am researching had descendants who were living at some time in those areas. There are many names included and the list continues to grow. I also have a large database of names from this area and would be glad to check it for your families as well. They aren't included on the website, so if you'd like me to check, drop me a line from the "Contact Me" page.

I hope that you find something of interest.
