Your Pennsylvania Ancestor Belonged to a Community: Finding the Records for the 250th
Most talks on colonial Pennsylvania research start with record types — land warrants, tax lists, church registers. This one starts with the people. William Penn's Holy Experiment attracted dozens of distinct ethnic and religious communities to colonial Pennsylvania, each keeping its own records in its own language and system. You can't find your ancestor if you don't know which community they belonged to. This session introduces the community-based approach to Pennsylvania research and shows you how to read the record trail each community left behind. If you have a Pennsylvania ancestor who was here for the Revolution, this is where their story begins.
