I would like to invite you to explore my new website The POORHOUSE STORY at
http://www.poorhousestory.com which is a clearinghouse for information about
19th century American Poorhouses.
We have recently added information about Allegheny, Clarion, Centre and
Washington Counties. (Some of this may be from your own GenWeb pages -- God
bless 'em & thank them -- but you may have previously overlooked these
poorhouse references.)
We are in the process of obtaining copyright consents to post even more
Pennsylvania information...so keep checking back.
If you are a history buff check the HISTORY page. Genealogists may enjoy the
LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS as well as the CEMETERY and RECORDS pages. (Note: We
need to apologize in advance because we sometimes forget to transfer
information from the state or county pages to those last two pages. So check
them all!)
DIRECTIONS: Go to the homepage (URL above)and click on POORHOUSES BY STATE,
then click on OTHER STATES, then click on PENNSYLVANIA on the table of
states.
Hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to post any information you may have
about that or any other poorhouse ... either on the MESSAGE BOARD or by
e-mailing me. The only way this site will grow to include more PENNSYLVANIA
info is by kind folks tipping me off to it!!! <grin>
Please don't respond to me on this list. (I would likely get dropped by my
ISP if I maintained subscriptions to all the e-mail lists on which I post
announcements!! <grin>)
Thanks,
Linda Crannell
