Took my dad here to look up our family tree. They were super helpful and we were able to trace our family all the way back to migration from Wurttemberg Germany in 1738. Previously we only had our history back to my dad's great grandfather. now we have 7 generations of Americans.

Yes. The wheelchair entrance is at the side of the main building and there is an elevator inside. The Janssen Library is easily accessible at its main entrance.

Does anyone remember Sally Ann Ranch near OLEY? It was similar to Shorty Long's Santa Fe Ranch near the Reading Drive-in theater.

The Santa Fe Ranch (Watch Lou and Shorty GO!) was near the Mount Penn Drive in and Venske's Golf. 😜 I'm too young to remember Sally Ann. LOL

My great grandparents & grandparents named Ritz were Berks County residents, I never knew them. Long ago I remember seeing a newspaper clipping about great-mother who was a lock keeper on a canal. Can you help?
