Lifelong resident of Lebanon County, PA.

Family interests of McDonnell and Nevin in Northumberland County, PA (maternal)and Steele and Benzenhoefer families (paternal) in greater Pittsburgh area with some long ago misplaced relatives on the Steele side in northern Maryland and south-central PA (Cecil/Lancaster/Chester counties).

I enjoy walking cemeteries and taking pictures and have found some interesting markers, a few strange epitaphs, lots of wildlife along with amazing peace and quiet.

Feel free to use any of my photos in your genealogy research ( credit would be appreciated if posting elsewhere) ...I love hearing from folks when they tell me I've helped them fill in a missing blank somewhere in their tree(s) so I always like reading my messages.

Doing this is the late in life hobby I've been searching for and I'm having great fun.

If you have a request for Lebanon County, PA or anywhere within an hours driving distance, please post it because at some point I'll go looking for it.

Enjoy your day!
