Genealogy is tied to place. The towns, churches, cemeteries, farms, neighborhoods, and regions where people lived often provide the context that makes family records meaningful. This section brings together places I’ve researched in connection with my own families, along with local history, maps, photographs, postcards, and other material about communities that caught my interest along the way. The collection ranges from Delaware and Pennsylvania to the American South, France, Germany, and other places connected with the people and stories on this site.
