So great that we can look through the index ourselves now at the PA Archives website. Give you the opportunity to look for misspellings or alternate spelling that they didn't do when you wrote to New Castle. Beverly In a message dated 2/26/2014 3:13:58 P.M.

I tried getting a death certificate from PA death records and because he wasn't in the index they said he didn't die in Pittsburgh. I finally had a lady get in touch who was a relation to his 2nd wife and she knew her maiden name. I had advertised that Kearns was her married name. She had a copy of his death certificate and he died around the time my father thought he had. He was also buried in Woodlawn cemetery that had said he wasn't buried there. Don't take the index for death certificates as accurate. They will not check to see if someone isn't in the index or the name was spelled wrong. Funeral homes are usually taken over by someone else and records will stay with them or if someone buys them out they take the records.
