Welcome from the Pacific Northwest.
My mother's family first settled in Ramey/Madera area (northwest of you) when they came over from what is now Slovakia at the turn of the 20th century. My Dad's family migrated from Maryland to the Akersville/Brush Creek area (southeast of you). Altoona was the big city to both of their families.
