I decided to start this blog to let all of you know what I have found so far on our Cloward Family History lines. I'm just starting but have been learning a lot and have found some interesting information as I have gone along. Wendy and I have taken a few trips now to Pennsylvania in the past year, and this last one we took dad and mom with us. We saw some beautiful country, how hard it must have been for Jacob and Ann to leave these beautiful surroundings and family for their beliefs. They were strong people, I will share pictures and information that I gather so that you can learn more about our ancestors as well.

More to Come and some YouTube Videos I Made












 I'm going to work on being better at updating this blog regularly. Also, I decided to start a YouTube channel not long ago. I have my intro video, and first episode up, that i will post links to here in case you are interested. I will be making videos of the Cloward family, the first one will be up hopefully this weekend or the first part of next week. It will be about the Thomas and Margaret Cloward family, who had to indenture at least one of their children, (that's all I've found so far, it seems unlikely to me that they would have only had to indenture one child...and he was eight years old! Then their son John passed away young, and his wife had to indenture three daughters, two at the age of 9 and one of them at 13! Those were tough times...I will post here as soon as that episode is live. This is the introduction video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Xrv_GhoME  and this is the first episode about my Grandpa Palmer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbwgb25tqxU
