As we all know, prior to 1893 Pennsylvania had NO officially recorded birth or death records at all. They did NOT exist. After 1901 or so, they were sent to the state rather than the county, so all we have available locally are the recorded deaths from this limited period of time.  Records remain in the order in which they are originally recorded. All pages link back to the main page from the top menu, or you can use your BACK button to return to the main page of the Death Section. Additionally we have on the site deaths retrieved from newspapers 1840-1869. They link from the menu above and from the site's Online Research Library but they are NOT "official" records.

Even "Official" Vital record such as these contain errors. These were registered by the physician in many cases, and they made as many mistakes as anybody. I have found many errors in such records, so even these are not guaranteed to be the final word on accuracy. If you find what you consider to be errors in these, chances are good that the "error" is in the original and not in the transcription. You may submit your commentary on what is wrong or right  with the record to Joyce, and it will be included on a separate page of such proposed changes or below on this same page. you MUST include a reason why your version differs from the original and what your source is.
