For what it's worth: None of the John T. Humphrey books on births in colonial and early Pennsylvania counties are in print (except for the FamilyTreeMaker CDs). Amazon.com offers to track down the one on Delaware County, if anyone is interested. No doubt this would be through the used book trade... It must have been a monumental task to organize all that stuff (and read all that ancient handwriting!) Since I'm a retired librarian, my suggestion is to check out your nearest Genealogy Library :-).
