to start check out the 1941 Pendot Map

Historic County Maps

from there go to 1867 Atlas of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania
and the Donegal TWP. Map (FYI SH is probably School house)

Westmoreland County Pennsylvania Atlas, 1867

once you have checked them out go to

Penn Pilot Photo centers, and check out the 1930's, 1950's, & 1970's Arials

Penn Pilot Photo Centers

and see if you can narrow down their exact location.

this is what I do
