Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008
 |
Do You Know that you can search just the
Death
Records and Death Clippings on the site by using the
Deaths
button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current
What's New Page? Be aware that you will also find some death notices
in the Clippings partition and the three county level Obituarysections. |

Along with Birth and Marriage records, Death records of many kinds are
part of the essential vital records that we need to define the existence
of our predecessors and genealogical research subjects. This page is a
listing of all or most potential sources on this site of those records.
It includes Court House records, newspaper items, family Bible records,
church records, cemetery inventories and mortality schedules for the three
counties represented on this site.
Hi Joyce,
You might want to post this to your site.
We are trying to get the Pennsylvania state death certificates that
are at least 50 years old (currently that means from 1906-1957) available
online similar to how several other states like Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky,
Missouri, Ohio, Utah and West Virginia already have done. For numerous
other states there are online indexes for their death records. We
are sure many of you have experienced the frustration of having to provide
several pieces of information (including when and where the person died)
when quite often the very information you are asked to supply is the very
information you are looking for and the very reason for your wanting the
death certificate. Probably many of you have either been told the
death certificate couldn't be found or sent the wrong certificate.
In general, because of the many burdensome and paradoxical restrictions
the public has not been able to use these historic records as much as they
should be able to. Worst of all these restrictions are true for all
state death certificates regardless of how long ago the person died.
Because the only way this is ever likely to
happen we are asking you, including out of state residents, to contact
certain Pennsylvania State officials, preferably in writing or in person
since it will have the most impact, but at least by phone or e-mail.
If you live in Pennsylvania please contact both your state senator and
your state representative in person, by letter, by phone or at the very
least by e-mail. Everyone, including out of state residents, should
write, phone or e-mail the Governor and even the Division of Vital Records.
Naturally the more letters and other forms of contact that are made and
the more people involved the better. Do nothing and nothing will
get done.
Addresses, FAQ, sample letters, forms, links
and considerably more information can be found at:

If you have any questions please contact the
spokesperson for PaHR-Access: Tim Gruber 610-791-9294 or timarg@rcn.com
I picked up this information at the BCHS last week, and was going to
send it to you.
