I've been doing some sleuthing for KEIMs in Perry Twp. The Berks Co website includes this information about Perry Twp: "Settled 1735; incorporated 1852 from Windsor Township. made a separate election district in 1821" http://www.rootsweb.com/~paberks/library/townships/IncorporationDates.html I'm confused... when looking for folks living in the Perry Twp area in 1850, will they be listed living in Windsor Twp???? In other words, the 1850 census won't list anyone in Perry Twp in 1850 since it wasn't incorporated until 1852. CORRECT? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
