OK, no fee, but you do have to send a written, signed request with your ancester's birth dates, names when they attended school, what school they attended, if they attended a high school, what year they graduated. Normally you would send that to Linda Gerba here at the board, but I believe you can now send it to Pittsburgh Board of Education Office of Technology Room 355 341 S. Bellefield Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15213 I do not do this research, I work in the Finance Dept. I used to work in technology, which is why I know this stuff : ) Bryan. -----Original Message----- From: Edward L.

Now, could you tell us how to get records from these schools. My Griffith family lived at the intersection of Reed and Kirkpatrick Streets, about a block from Minersville School. Are the records available, for what years, and how would one request a search and/or copy? What is the fee?
