The Historical Society of Pennsylvania presents: Brotherly Love & Sisterly Affection Exhibit Opening

The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, in partnership with the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, is excited to open the archive exhibit, ‘Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection: Tracing Families in Social Records’. The exhibit, organized by genealogists Katy Bodenhorn Barnes and Valerie-Anne Lutz, delivers the stories of families who received assistance from local charities and social services.
