Regarding Allan Harl Thomas' reference to the Google sites link. The Pennington Research Association had a link for PRA Group 10 details on that site. However Google Sites has now deleted old sites that weren't moved to their new format. So this link no longer works. It is possible to plug the link into Wayback Machine, however, and get to an archive of the site from 2020. The pages load from that archived version. I have saved all of the HTML files and am currently rebuilding a structure with those files to imitate the original.
Jim Lantz who created the site is dead. The PRA is closing next year. So I'm doing what I can to at least have an archive of these pages for future reference. Pennington Group 10 is my family group and there was a wealth of information in those pages (8 generations) that I have not yet been able to fully track. It would be a shame to lose it all.
