" York County Stories" in the works

My long overdue next project will be " York County Stories" This will be a collection of stories about York County history. Several of the stories will be the ones that I have written and are on this sight. I have also obtained permission from Thelma Hansford and the sons of R.E."Bob" to use some of their stories.

Nabb Center visit

In early February, I had the opportunity to visit the Nabb Center in Salisbury MD. The Nabb Center is dedicated to the research of Delmarva History and Genealogy. It is located on the campus of Salisbury State University.

I e-mailed the director with what I was interested in and the next day when I arrived, several items related to the the subject that I was reasearching that day ( 1933 August Storm) were on a table waiting for me. The staff was extremely helpful and were happy to assist me in any way.

The director himself came by to talk with me.

The center has a large collection of microfilm of records from the Eastern Shore of VA, MD and DL. With York County's genealogical connections to the Eastern Shore, the Nabb Center would be well worth a visit.
