So, what three places do I want to visit before I die? Well, here are three ancestral areas that I want to visit:
- Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania - Well, I want to be able to visit and do research in that county as my ancestors lived there. (Of course, I don't know how long and in all of the townships which they lived.)
- United Kingdom and Ireland (Great Britain) - I'd actually like to visit, so that I can do research this time and remember the visit. (Yes, I visited, but I was a baby at that time.) As my ancestors lived in various places in Great Britain, it is easier for me to just list the names of the countries.
- Germany - I have been to Germany before (and I remember this trip!), but I haven't been to the locations where my ancestors lived. As I don't know all of the locations where my ancestors lived in Germany, I can only list Germany at the moment.
Well, those are my three places. I would list more, but I was only supposed to list three places for this meme. (Of course, there are other places I would like to visit that are not related to my genealogy.)

Jessica,
Some of my forebears lived in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania as well. I have quite a large database of residents of Tell, Shirley and Dublin Townships. Do you have ancestors from any of those?

Hi Kathryn,
At the moment, I haven't done a lot of research in Huntingdon, but the main two townships are Walker
and Juniata.
The surnames I am researching there so far are:
Oswalt/Oswald
Detweiler/Detwiler
Householder/Housholder
You can contact me at: jess underscore history at yahoo dot com.
Thanks,
Jessica
