I'm so excited about this trip that I can hardly sleep at night! Uncle Ray and Aunt Kathy as well as Susie are joining me for this experience. We only have ONE full day and 2 partial days in Westmoreland County. Friday, we arrive late in the afternoon. Hopefully, there will be enough time to stop by the Historical Society. I'm certain that it is swimming with family secrets just waiting to be discovered! Saturday, we have a little time in the morning before driving to Chalk Hill, PA to spend the day with the extended family of our grandmother's oldest sister, Bertha. Then Sunday morning a bit more time before flying home.
I would very much like to find out the location of the farm where our grandmother grew up. I would love to go by there, stare at it, and take pictures. I know that it was located in Salem Township, and that sometime between the 1920 and the 1930 census, our great-grandad Samuel Kepple sold the farm to his nephew Marcus E. Seanor. If anyone has any information about how to find it, please let me know!
Cuz - you are partners with a woman who is married to the geneous of locating properties! Master Jim can find anything! We found his GG Grandfather's grave through research and via satalite imagery and then drove right to it in the middle of the woods in who knows where Mississippi! Let me know if you find any coordinates or other info.
