The West Wing
You know how music can transport you back to a time and place? How we know where we were when a significant personal event occurred, or one that was as far reaching as it can get and still be on this planet, like September 11, 2001. I am NOT comparing…

Historical Society Of Pennsylvania
In the years that my husband has been researching our ancestors, we have become intimately acquainted with old cemeteries and genealogy organizations.
