Scrapbook
I had a great idea from a fellow researcher Patty Szalay she sent me some information to add to the site that she found in a box belonging to her Grandmother . The kind of information that might be found in an old scrapbook , tidbits and notes of different people you might of knew in school or from church , or your community. I would like to see our Greene County Scrapbbook grow. If you have information of maybe someone who might of run the local store or occupation or a memory of someone that you might like to share. That might help others.
Thank You
