DNA TESTING-it is critical particularly that your oldest living generations get tested NOW, as DNA recombines each generation, resulting in less DNA available to match distant common ancestors. See DNA Testing under the Genealogy tab on the top ribbon for more information. UNIDENTIFIED PHOTOS-WE ARE LOOKING FOR MEMBERS to identify individuals listed in the PSV 2004 book genealogies to unidentified photos in the PSV's possession.

Fort Hunt Park https://www.nps.gov/gwmp/planyourvisit/forthunt.htm Originally part of George Washington's Mount Vernon estate, the land that is Fort Hunt Park has undergone several transformations. Batteries at Fort Hunt defended the Potomac River during the Spanish American War; the Civilian Conservation Corps operated a camp there during the Great Depression; and soldiers at Fort Hunt interrogated prisoners, trained pilots in escape and evasion, and combed German documents for intelligence during World War II. Today it is a favorite spot for picnicking. This area has many historic sites. There is plenty to do. We are just south of Washington, DC if you want to go a little further.
