It's time for spring cleaning and I've been busy like a bee. But wait, here is a new old find. At some point in time, someone transcribed some old Cross Creek Presbyterian baptisms and snail mailed them to me. I wish I could remember who it was.
Cross Creek Presbyterian Church is an old church in Burgettstown, Washington, PA. This area is of interest to me as I have been researching the John SMITH family of Hopewell Twp, Washington, PA. Of course, I have other kin buried in their old cemetery, but that is a story for another day.
Do you know hard it is to document a name like John SMITH? As my interest is in SMITH and PATTERSON, these were the only names transcribed. So enjoy this beginning of the past.

Ahh, genealogy. It's a grand day for a family reunion!
