Bedford County Pennsylvania Genealogy Collection #1
This is an extensive collection of historical and biographical books on Bedford County, PA. These books were published between 1848 and 1959 and containing over 2,700 pages of information. This collection includes major historical & biographical volumes published for Bedford County, as well as a number of obscure historical publications.
The larger biographical volumes are an excellent place to start genealogical research as these detail hundreds of family genealogies from the county. The smaller, more obscure publications are an excellent addition to the larger volumes, as they contain information of a more specific focus. Often these smaller publications contain historical and genealogical gems found nowhere else - such as portraits, biographies, and records. (Please see the descriptions below for specifics on individual books.)
This is a wonderful opportunity to own your own library on Bedford County. To find and purchase all of these publications would be a huge investment in time and money. Yet, here you can have all of this information to use at your convenience - and in a format that make research much easier. The work in collecting this information has already been done, and now you can take advantage of it!
