John Robinson of York New Salem believes the community needs a Web site or resources that people can query with questions and at least get pointed in the right direction.
Well, we might not have a single entity with expertise to point people in the right direction, but York County has something better. We have two agencies with expertise:

Queries about people, events or genealogy - software - go to York County Heritage Trust.
