Pittsburgh Pennsylvania 3rd Family History Center

The Plum Family History Center is located at 710 New Texas Rd. in Plum, PA, near Monroeville, PA.

Our Family History Center is a central place designed to support the efforts of community and church members in finding their ancestors. The purpose of the family history center is to help families and youth experience the joy of discovering their families.

We have consultants from the church and a great team of experienced volunteers from the community, who are ready to assist anyone with their research.
