Pennsylvania Genealogy Research

Are you looking for some one to help you research your family history in Pennsylvania? I can help. For the low price of $30 per hour of research, I will do research in Harrisburg at the State Library of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania State Archives, and in the counties of Berks, Lancaster, Chester, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware and Philadelphia. Contact me at localhist@yahoo.com.

State Library of Pennsylvania

Until yesterday, I was the Genealogy/Local History Librarian at the State Library of Pennsylvania. Yesterday I was furloughed along with 21 other staff. As a result of the furloughs, the hours of the State Library in Harrisburg will be curtailed. Starting August 17, the library will be open only Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 AM to 4 PM. There will be no more Saturday or Tuesday evening hours for the foreseeable future. Researchers will still have access to all genealogy resources. Mr. Ray will still be there to offer his expert assistance.
