Pennsylvania Archives

[JPK Huson 1863]

I needed to look something up today, ended up just bookmarking this, will go back when I have more time!

I might be wrong, but this site seems to have linked, re-linked and grown hugely in the last years. They also seem to have done an amazing job of scanning items, and are in the process of scanning and listing more. It's far too long to get into here, but anyone needing information on genealogy/Civil War ancestors who even thought about walking through Pennsylvania, maybe give this another look if it's been awhile.

I put up the link which leads to the genealogy portion of the site, but you can click around to everywhere from there. I'd be there for days and days if I let myself, it's amazing.

Yes, don't have a ton of time, when I fly in to check some of this stuff out. I'd either disremembered the extent of the site or it really wasn't as large and linked last time I was there. PA isn't known for spending cash on most things, never occured to me someone would be so on the ball when it came to preserving these things. How very cool of some folks, since I'm guessing it takes a small army to maintain. They sure do not blow their own horn!
