I am putting this response on the Fulton discussion list so that others who are researching in York, PA can see it and perhaps help. In the book, The Handybook for Genealogists by Everton Publishing, it states that York Co, PA has birth and death records from 1893 to 1907. Have you tried to acquire the death records of Jane or her husband ? A death certificate should give their birth location and parents' names, which may help you focus on a geographic area. Have you checked the 1850 thru 1890 census indices for Jane or George's family ? Then go to the actual census to see if there are any Fultons nearby ? These censuses have place of birth, which would confirm or refute whether she was foreign born. Since they were married in 1865, perhaps the Civil War affected their movement. Does George have a military service record ? Also you may want to consider putting a query on the USGENWEB page for York County, PA. Good Luck. Roberta R.
