    3. The database you mention is Accessible Archives (www.accessible.com). I used to have a subscription, but have let it lapse. It's about $50/yr; has copies of the Village Record (goes way way back) and others. Great site, found lots of old Chester Co. info on ancestors there. If your family is based in Chester Co., it is worth the $$ for a year's subscription (they might even have a shorter, cheaper one - I forget). Here are some examples of some things from Accessible Archives: ITEM #14089 October 12, 1858 VILLAGE RECORD Marriage On the 5th inst., by the Rev. George Hall, Mr. GEORGE W. P. McAFEE, of West Vincent township, to Miss MARY R. BUFFINGTON, of Coatesville. DR 12.3.1935 JACOB L. McAFEE Jacob L. McAfee, East Nantmeal township farmer, died yesterday from a complication of diseases. He was aged 52 years, 7 months and 24 days. He formerly resided near St. Matthews' Reformed Church. Mr. McAfee was a son of the late Jacob and Martha (nee Hoffecker) McAfee, and was known throughout the county as an expert agriculturalist. He operated farms most of his life. He is survived by his wife, Anna (nee Thomas) McAfee; six children; Mary, wife of Clyde Lockart, Pughtown; Thomas E., East Nantmeal; Margaret I., at home; Ida May, wife of Theodore Shannon, Churchtown; George and Walter, at home; four sisters Emma, widow of William Miller; Margaret, wife of William McElroy; Laura, wife of Walter Benny; Florence wife of Harvey Bachman, and 14 grandchildren. Funeral services will be conducted Friday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock in Nantmeal M. E. Church. Burial will be in St. Matthews' Reformed Cemetery, near Ludwig's Corner.
