It's Time to Migrate!!!!

23. April 2012 — Mary (Views: 44)

Months ago I announced that I was migrating the information on this site to a new location and that eventually this copy of the site would be shut down. We are very near to that point now, and it has become increasingly difficult to deal with the aging architecture on our current server. The new site is in place and running, with virtually all of the content from this site, so I would strongly urge you to go there now. This site will be shutting down completely at the end of the month and the domain pointed permanently to the new site. In advance of that final cut-off, no new registrations will be made to this site.

Here’s the address:

http://usgenfiles.com/pa/chester

If you already have registered here, you will need to register again there in order to post comments or participate in the forums, but it only takes a moment and doesn’t cost anything at all.

See you there!

Chester County Genealogy

Chester County, PA and the genealogy of its people have been a part of my life for so long now that it's hard to remember a time when I wasn't actively engaged in research in the Chester County area. Though my interest in genealogy in Pennsylvania predates my involvement online, the real start for me came when I volunteered in the summer of 1996 to coordinate the Chester county site for the PAGenWeb Project, then in its infancy.

Having a large numbers of ancestors who were Quakers made it much easier in some ways to find information on their history and because of that, a large amount of the data here is related to the early Quaker families of the area. When I first started working on my Chester site for the PAGenWeb Project, I was acutely aware of the tremendous amount of history for the area and the importance that the Chester County area played in the early history of our country. As one of the three original counties created when Pennsylvania was first settled, nearly all later parts of the state derive their roots in this original section as it was a major point of entry for settlers coming to Pennsylvania.

During my time as coordinator, a total of about 6 years altogether, I collected an enormous amount of genealogy and history data pertaining to the Chester County area and the neighboring counties and have been actively putting it online ever since.

If you've been here before, you'll notice that the site is sporting a brand new look. You may also notice some changes in the way some of the data is arranged - the new Site Map will help locate files if they've been moved from their original spots.

All of the information on this site is viewable by all visitors, though it will be necessary to create an login and be logged in if you wish to post in the forums or add other forms of data to the site. We will always respect your privacy and will never share your contact information with anyone!

If you find this site useful, please consider creating a link to it from your own web pages and let other folks know about it - the more people that find us, the better able we are to share valuable information! Enjoy your visit!
