PA Historical Societies - 20 Sept 2012

St. Luke's Lutheran Church - Sanner Lutheran Church became St. John's Lutheran - which combined with St. Luke's in 1971. Rockwood, Somerset, PA.

Went through two boxes of old church records. Mostly records from the 1920's to the present. Lots of gaps. But did find photocopies of records from the late 1700's to early 1800's. Took digital images and filed in Photo's folder. Haven't had a chance to look closely at them yet. Found photo of St. John's church from late 1800's. Not the actually church that the Critchfield's would have attended but the same location.

Had lunch at the Poorman's Cafe. Pretty good.

On to Confluence, Somerset, PA for the Turkeyfoot Area Historical Society. Looking for Kemp's, Michaels and Tissue. Found several Kemp obituaries, too late for my line but may have some clues. A couple of Michaels obituaries, not relevant but may have clues. A whole book of Tissues but did not see my Susanna. Took digital images of all, will look at it more carefully when I have time!
