Conneautville Project Update January 24, 2022
Short post as I don’t have a lot to update on my Conneautville project. I got distracted by a clipping from the Conneautville Courier related to my own family.

I’m now 56 percent done with Conneautville-related obituaries from Newspapers.com. Since my last update, I have worked on some obituaries, but I also did a search for duplicate people.

Observation #1: like many Americans, several former Conneautville residents retire to Florida. Specifically, the Tampa Bay area. When I finish with death records, perhaps I’ll find some migration patterns from […]

One of my goals for 2022 is to write more. I’m going to start by making daily updates on my genealogy research. The big project I’ve been working on for several months is a Place Study for Conneautville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. I began the process by searching on Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org. I then added any […]
