Welcome to PAgenealogy.net.  Today is

Our mission: PAgenealogy.net is dedicated to furthering the research of Pennsylvania genealogy and history, providing access to original data and primary source material, and serving as a clearinghouse to external sources of research materials pertaining to Pennsylvania genealogy.  The study of history goes hand in hand with genealogy, be it personal history, or the history in which one's ancestors were immersed in their daily lives.

What's Available Here: PAgenealogy.net provides genealogists and local historians with access to a wide variety of sources of all things genealogical and historical, to aid in their Pennsylvania research.  While some assets are hosted on this web site, we provide links to thousands of Pennsylvania-related genealogical and historical resources, both primary and secondary in nature.  In addition, guides to and discussions of these and other resources and sources, including numerous "how-to's" are hosted here.
