Thanks Bob, I'm forewarned. Don
Hi Andrea, I went to Harrisburg East Cem. today looking for the COFFIN stones to snapshot. I got a map from the office for section 3 lot 88, but I could not find any stones. Any suggestions?

People all told me I could walk to all three. Hah. I hope you have really great walking shoes and equally great conditioning of the walking muscles :-). I did it, but this old man sure did get tired and beat. The good part is that it's down hill from the library to the courthouse. ENJOY Bob Sheetz

Hi Karen, You are very kind to provide such detailed information, I do appreciate it. I will search for Dauphin information only during the early 1800's and prior years. I have many ancestors from Chester County but only two from Dauphin. Perhaps with your good information I can also glean more concerning those from the former county while in Harrisburg and save a trip to Chester. Thanks, Don Cliff

What was Heidelberg in Dauphin in the 1810 census became Heidelberg in Lebanon County in the 1920 census.

Hi Looking over the 1810 census index for Dauphin County, one of my ancestors (I think!), a Jacob Bricker, is listed as living in Heidelberg Township, Dauphin County. As I look over a list of existing townships, I don't see a Heidelberg. Was the name changed? Or was Heidelberg Township hived off when Lebanon County was created? As far as I know, there is a Heidelberg Township there in Lebanon today, abutting West Cocalico Township in Lancaster County. I should note that, in the 1830 census, Jacob Bricker is shown as living in Heidelburg Township, Lebanon County, so the evidence seems to point to a probable answer to my question. But I would like a definitive answer from someone in the know. Thanks for any help on this! Dale Bricker

Don, If you're going into Harrisburg, you have three places to search. The PA State Library (Commonwealth & Walnut St.), The PA State Archives, which is about 2 blocks away, next to the William Penn Museum, and the Courthouse, corner of Front and Market Sts. You can walk to all three. The Courthouse is not open on weekends and the PA State Archives is closed on Mondays. The State Library has PA census from 1790? to 1920, city directories, some ships passenger lists,an excellent newspaper room,a huge genealogy room, etc. If you are there during the week, ask for Ray. He volunteers in the genealogy room and can be tremendous help as far as location of resources. You can access the holdings of the State Library at www.statelibrary.state.pa.us. Click on the library catalog link and you can then search by title, topic, etc. Yes, and even newspapers! The PA Archives has many records that are not contained in the St. Library, such as old birth and death registers, tax assessments, wills, deeds, marriage records. It varies by county and by year. Use this link for their holdings so you know what they have before you go. They have the census there on microfilm also. <A HREF="www.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Historical_Museum/DAM/rg/rg47m.htm">Counties in State Archives</A> . I believe the courthouse is open 8-5. There are specific rooms for various records. Many of the same records at the courthouse are on microfilm at the State Archives, with some exceptions. I have found the staff there to be courteous and helpful. You can also call/write them for lookups, such as registered copies of birth records. Keep in mind that all PA birth and death records from 1906 on, are on file with Vital Statistics in New Castle, PA . You must fill out a form to obtain certificates. This link will provide more info. Ray may have these forms available in the genealogy room, I'm not sure. You should be able to download a form from a link from this web site. <A HREF="http://www.vitalrec.com/pa.html">Pennsylvania Vital Records Information - birth or death certificate, div</A> Hope this gives you an idea of what is available and will save you time before you go. Keep in mind that you can spend the entire day in any one of these places. Good Luck. Karen

Will the person who posted about the Stoner Family please contact me privately; as I just found an obit for a Mrs. Christian Stoner. It was in the Harrisburg Patriot but somebody didn't save or write the date of the issue..Mrs. Stoner's daughter was Mrs. George Bable, 117 Pine St. Lancaster, Pa. This was Harold Stoner's Mother. There was some connection to Uhrichsville, Ohio.
Yes that would be the Prospect Hills Cemetery... Karl http://hometown.aol.com/dfox1943/myhomepageindex.html Cemeteries of Dauphin County PA - 2000 -- Karl J. Fox
