The Mt. Lebanon Genealogy Society can help members and visitors discover if those family legends are true. It offers to help searchers learn more about the lives of their ancestors.
Jim Stuber, co-chairman of the group, said one of the first places to start looking is to ask older relatives about the stories of their forebears.
Searchers should record everything they find -- information that doesn't make sense now will probably make sense later, Mr. Stuber said.

Was this article posted so that Mt Lebanon residents can find distant relatives to beg for money to pay for the lavish teacher salaries and Tashma hall High School that our rogue Board has stuck us with?
Wait! Mr. Kendrick is against the high school construction and thinks teachers are overpaid?! Who knew??!!

As one of the interviewees in that article I take offense at the comment by Mr. Kendrick and am sorry to see such posts allowed to appear on this board.
I have never taken a position, either public or private, on the high school project. I volunteer with the Genealogy Society and at the Family History Center to assist others find their family history which would otherwise be unknown to them. To intimate some other motive on my part or on the part of the writer is absurd.

Mr. Stuber, if you’re wondering why we allow such comments to appear on Blog-Lebo, it’s because the alternative is not to allow them – in other words, to censor them. (For more information about our views on censorship, see Why we censor comments only as a last resort and the follow-on comments.)
Thanks you for your response.
I should have directed my post solely to Mr. Kendrick since he is the person who directed the offensive comments at me.

Mr. Stuber,
Please read my post, or find someone who can read it to you. My post does not make any reference to you. Your name does not appear in my post. The text above states, "Was this article posted so that Mt Lebanon residents can find distant relatives to beg for money to pay for the lavish teacher salaries and Tashma hall High School that our rogue Board has stuck us with?"
Please feel free to post your public apology to me on this thread.
Very truly yours,
John Kendrick
For those interested in genealogy and a desire to research family history, I highly recommend Jim Stuber's suggestions, the Lebo Genealogy Society, the Family History Center (FHC) in Green Tree, etc. The FHC is one of over 4,000 worldwide branches of the Mormon Family Histry Library (FHL)in Salt Lake City
The Society has an excellent website with lots of links and helpful hints. The local FHC will open the door to incredible resources and there are numerous internet resources like ancestry.com (fee based), cyndislist.com (a portal featuring 240,000 worldwide genealogy website links), the FHL website familysearch.com, and wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com with millions of names and family tree info.
ENJOY !

One certain hallmark of extremism, unfortunately seen as an advantage by those to whom it applies, is immunity from criticism -- the response to which therefore is often, such as in this case, to double down.
