I'm Back! I'm Back! (your humble webmaster in front of childhood home in Duquesne PA circa 1958)
	Introduction The Wilkinson-Topley family has its roots in Great Britain, Ireland and probably Germany, but once our ancestors reached America they made Allegheny County, Pennsylvania their home. John Wilkinson was born in England and came to live and work in Mifflin Township before 1860. He was a coal miner, as was Richard Topley of Ireland who worked in the Greensburg mines and lived in McKeesport. Our family helped mine the coal and pour the steel that made Allegheny County the heart of industrial America. We had our share of farmers and schoolteachers, too. I've tried to capture both a factual record of their lives and a sense of what it was like to live and work in the places our ancestors called home. What's New     As of January 4, 2002: I took some time off from genealogy research in 2001 - it's been nearly a year since my last update. I'm back at it now and have a few odds 'n' ends to report from my sporadic research during last year.   Family Tree - Start Here to View the Wilkinson-Topley Family Genealogy* Surnames Index Photo Album Family History The Natchers The Butlers by Mary Butler The Topleys Biographies John Natcher Samuel J.
