I descend from survivors of the Johnstown Flood of 1889.

What a coincidence! I'm a descendant of victims of the Johnstown Flood of 1889!

Regards,

Sorry. Responded to the wrong post of yours.

We visited the museum in town and the memorial park when passing through town without knowing I was a descendent. Only put it together a week later when going through my family history papers. Now I want to go back. Great grandfather gave one of his sons (my uncle) the middle name “Flood”.

Not sure if you’ve been to the museum. But as a descendant of a victim, I’d guess you’d find the artifacts there quite moving.
