Hi Darla, First you will NEVER find any birth records in PA from that early date as you will see in the Vital Records section of the site's Online Research Library. Daggett and Daggett's Mills are the same place. It is and has "always" been in Jackson Township, Tioga County since that township was formed. You'll find all the information on the formation and formation dates of the counties and townships in the Online Research Library of the site, near the top. There's LOTS there, but you have to learn the site's structure and explore its crannies. It is an enormous library and you will learn a LOT by exploring it thoroughly. It is FULL of answers to many of the questions that hit the mail list and the query system. Best wishes, Joyce M. Tice > Subj: [Tri-Counties] Mary R.
