HELLO, WELCOME TO SUMMIT TOWNSHIP!

I was born in Erie and lived in Kearsarge (Millcreek Township) for many years. In 1969 my husband and I moved to the Atlanta, GA suburbs. My family tree consists of early settlers to Summit Township including John and Permelia (Lee) Way and Roger and Florinda (Miner) Root.

If you have any data about cemeteries, bios, or other genealogical information for Summit Township, please feel free to contact me. I currently have these Erie reference books, Atlas of Erie County, Nelson's Biographical Dictionary and The History of Erie County and would be happy to help you with your ancestry search in Summit Township.

HAPPY HUNTING!
