Western Pennsylvania was settled by successive waves of people from the mid-18th century onward. These people -- mostly from the far corners of Europe -- brought with them their languages, their beliefs and their culture.  Lured to Penn's Woods first by ample land, then by jobs in industries like coal mining and steel manufacturing, these settlers melted together and formed a new land.  In "Where Yinz From?," genealogist Trish Buben of Stonycreek Genealogy will share about some of these different groups of people -- where they came from, how they got to western Pennsylvania and how they shaped the region.  


Trish Buben of Stonycreek Genealogy is a professional genealogist living outside of Pittsburgh with her family.  A southwestern Pennsylvania native, Trish has focused much of her research on the Pennsylvania counties of Somerset, Bedford and Cambria.  Trish holds certificates of completion from courses at GRIP, IGHR and is a graduate of ProGen 67.  She also holds a bachelors of arts in History from Penn State University.  She is a member of the North Hills Genealogists, the Western Pennsylvania Genealogy Society and the Association of Professional Genealogists.   She is currently the coordinator for ProGen 69.
