Current Edition

The first article of Issue 44, of the WPGS Quarterly is now available.

Marie Mattson, CG expertly correlates indirect evidence and researches potential paternal candidates to identify the parents of Thomas Morrow who was born about 1794 in Pennsylvania, lived in Rockland, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and migrated to Olmsted County, Minnesota by 1850. No church records nor vital records were available for this research. The author used estate documentation, land records, census records, and military records to support the conclusion.
