Hi Nancy,
People are searching for a lot of names in Westmoreland County! The
Westmoreland County mailing list is very active. One web site that can help
researchers is the Westmoreland e services. It lists those who have applied
for a marriage license in Westmoreland and lists both groom, bride (and
maiden name) date of application and date of marriage. This can give you
more information to go on if a person wishes to obtain a copy of the
marriage certificate.

Irwin is about 30 miles from where I live, but there are Strubles and Browns
in this area too. Another good web site is the Adams Memorial Library "Dead
A Base". This lists those people who have had obituaries published in the
Latrobe Bulletin. Copies are then available through the library. Here is
their web site
http://www.adamslib.org/catalogs/deadabase/ One more database
that is great is one contributed by Marilyn Wienke. She has listed death
notices in early Westmoreland Papers. They can be accessed here
http://www.genealogybuff.com/pa/pa-westmoreland-deaths.htm . Are you looking
for any ancestor in particular?
Dawne

What names are people searching for in Westmoreland? Some of my
research
is
in that area also. I was born in Wilkenburg and lived outside of Irwin
until I was about 8. I still have relatives there. I have Brown,
Struble,
Geiger, Minkel, and Krupar surnames.
Nancy now in MI
