Names · Offices · Original records
Find the names recorded in Preston County’s federal postmaster registers, then explore their recorded actions and original images.
Current coverage: Albright, Amblersburg, Arthurdale, and Reedsville. This growing index includes reviewed records from these four published office histories. More offices will be added as their transcriptions are checked.
Recorded dates describe individual entries, not complete terms of service. Spelling variants and unresolved dates are preserved. Matching names do not by themselves establish that records describe the same person.
