Septembe 8, 2010 My friends, Over the past week I have been busy on another major cleanup of our class reunion pages. I still have a few more to go but that section of the site should now be in much better shape at least for a while. Now that I have nearly completed that cleanup, look for the launch of an OldChesterPa page on Faecbook. Rest assured that although I have not been actively growing the site during the last 2 years, all the history that we have collected continues to be available to researchers around the world, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with just a few keystrokes. Perhaps one of these days I will get an energy re-charge and begin to again grow the site. Meanwhile, I know it has been difficult to reach me because of the deluge of spam that continues to hit my email address here. About six months ago Susan insisted that I needed to establish a presence on Facebook so I would be happy to see you there too. Under my profile there, you'll find an alternate email address where you can reach me. As I get more familiar with Facebook's features, look for a "Fans of OldChesterPa" page to appear. Thanks once again for all the memories! Ye Olde (and very humble) webmaster, John

List of Research Resources available at the Delaware County Historical Society library. Paul Crowther has offered to do lookups in City Directories (1887-1893) for Allentown, Erie, Pittsburg, Bethlehem, Harrisburg, Reading, Bradford, Norristown, Scranton, Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre, and CHESTER! For those doing genealogy research, Helen M. (Webber) Imburgia has been kind enough to share with us a very useful list that she compiled of Research Facilities in Delaware County, PA. She has included contact info, library hours plus a summary of the holdings at each location! Rick Nicholson, is in the process of posting the entire "1884 History of Delaware County" by H. G. Ashmead on the www.delcohistory.org website. This work is a wonderful source of information on the early years of Delaware County and is a must bookmark for those folks working on genealogy.
