The Allegheny Regional Family History Society
The ALLEGHENY REGIONAL FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY is a non-profit
organization dedicated to promoting interest in and preservation of
family history and genealogy throughout the Allegheny Mountain Region.
While no physical boundaries have been set for the Allegheny Region, it
might best be defined as those counties in northeast West Virginia,
southwest Pennsylvania, western Maryland and northwest Virginia; and may
include any area that received a settlement of people from that area in
the last two centuries.
AN EXCELLENT GROUP FOR NON-RESIDENTS
The ALLEGHENY REGIONAL FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY is organized in such a way
that persons living outside, but with research interest within the
Allegheny Region, can benefit from membership in the organization. All
members can advertise their wants, needs and problems FREE in
the ALLEGHENY REGIONAL ANCESTORS. Each new member is requested to submit
a five generation ancestor chart or surname list. Surnames on the charts
and lists along with the corresponding addresses of members are published
periodically in the quarterly journal. Thus, persons not living within
the Allegheny Region, or who are unable to attend meetings can
communicate with those with a like or similar interest.
MEETINGS
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the
library, located in the I.O.O.F. Lodge Building, US Rt. 219 & 250, about 3 miles South of Elkins, across from the Elkins Regional Convalescent Center.
ALLEGHENY REGIONAL ANCESTORS QUARTERLY JOURNAL
The ALLEGHENY REGIONAL FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY publishes a quarterly
journal, ALLEGHENY REGIONAL ANCESTORS. In addition to the queries and
surname lists mentioned, the journal also contains a news section that
reports various items of interest to family historians. Also carried are
numerous feature articles and records of a genealogical and historical
interest from within the Allegheny Region..
