Westmoreland County Pennsylvania

Volume No. 65 in the Inventory of the County Archives of Pennsylvania Series provides a summary of the available records that were being maintained and archived at the Westmoreland County courthouse in 1942, when this volume was originally published. A synopsis of how the records are organized and what a researcher should expect to find within the records is provided. Since the inventory was conducted in 1942, there is no guarantee that the described records are still available at the county courthouse more than sixty years later. Microfilms of the some of the identified record groups are available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg, PA and Family History Centers. This CD also includes "PA Counties," a software program for viewing and exploring the evolution of the counties of Pennsylvania. This CD should spark new ideas for exploring seldom examined and forgotten records and is a must for any serious Westmoreland County researcher. (473 pp)
