Maybe I missed this but is there a link to the index of births. I mean a link that takes you directly there. Like there is for there deaths.

Hello Fellow Listers: The Perry Historians, a genealogical library located about 2 miles north-east of New Bloomfield, Perry Co., PA. along Rte. 34, will be holding their annual FREE Beginner Genealogical Workshop on Saturday, March 3, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.. The beginner workshop will be held in the Harry Lenig Library who's physical street address is 763 Dix Hill Rd., New Bloomfield, PA. 17068 (please note - should you be using a GPS it may not take you directly to our library). There will be about an hour break for lunch - on your own. You may pack your lunch and eat in the kitchen area or you may leave the premises and eat at one of the establishments located nearby. After lunch, the workshop will continue with (generally) some time at the end of the day for folks to do some research within the library. Hope to possibly see some of you there! Donna Heller Zinn volunteer / director of The Perry Historians

While certainly better than nothing at all, if you don't already know the year of death for an individual, it will take some time to locate. Hopefully one day these PDF images will be transcribed into a searchable database.

Any person associated with the Lebanon County list or Dauphin County list headed to Philadelphia on Saturday for the ancestry.com workshop? I wouldn't mind finding a buddy. Beverly Walmer Wyld

So sorry this has happened to you. I have been getting death certificates since 1977 and only had this happen to me once and it was my error. If I am understanding correctly, I can now go to the State Archives in Harrisburg and have access to the records and the cost of a copy would only be copying costs.

I also would like to know where the "Birth and Deaths online" may be found. As for requests returned as no listing and payments rendered. I would send a registered letter to the supervisor, director, whom ever, with documentation of the request (including copy of new indices) and demand return of payment. Otherwise, nothing will change.

Dora, When the writer referred to New Castle, she meant New Castle PA, where the PA vital records are stored, not New Castle DE.

Pa recently put the birth(1906) and death(1906-1961) indices online. Use the following link to get to them. http://www.portal.health.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/department_of_health_home/17457

While I'm glad Pa has finally put the records online I do have a problem with Vital Records in New Castle. When I send for a death certificate I always make a copy of the application sent to them. Once the death certificate comes I throw out the application. If a letter comes back could not find I attach that letter to the original application. I have 5 of those letters attached to original applications. Sad that someone in New Castle evidently can't or won't do their jobs.

Everything matches perfectly but yet I have a letter stating record could be found. Wonder how many others have found this and lost money to New Castle.

Which records are online - Pennsylvania, Delaware, or both, and where do I find them?

Hello Fellow Listers: The following e-mail just came through the Washington County, Maryland List and I thought it was most interesting!!!! Can't wait! Donna ----- Original Message ----- Subject: FYI: National Archives press release: free website for 1940 census to be released 2 Apr. 2012: www.1940census.archives.gov Source: http://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2012/nr12-70.html Press Release February 21, 2012 National Archives Announces Website for Free 1940 Census Release Online on April 2, 2012: 1940census.archives.gov Tomorrow Starts the Countdown of ’40 Days to the ’40 Census’ Washington, DC…Today the National Archives, with its partner Archives.com, launched its new website www.1940census.archives.gov in preparation for its first-ever online U.S. census release, which will take place on April 2, 2012, at 9 a.m. (EST). The public is encouraged to bookmark the website now in order to more quickly access the 1940 census data when it goes live. No other website will host the 1940 census data on its April 2 release date. The National Archives has teamed up with the U.S. Census Bureau to celebrate “40 Days to the ’40 Census.” Using social media channels to post videos, images, facts, and links to workshops nationwide, the National Archives is getting its researchers ready for the online launch on April 2. Be sure to follow us on Twitter (using hashtag #1940Census), Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr, YouTube, and subscribe to our blogs: NARAtions and Prologue: Pieces of History. On April 2, 2012, users will be able to search, browse, and download the 1940 census schedules, free of charge, from their own computers or from the public computers at National Archives locations nationwide through the new 1940 census website: www.1940census.archives.gov. A National Archives 3:13 minute video short on its YouTube channel (http://tiny.cc/1940Census) and on www.1940census.archives.gov provides a “behind-the-scenes” view of staff preparations and gives viewers tips on how to access the data once it is launched on April 2. This video is in the public domain and not subject to any copyright restrictions. The National Archives encourages the free distribution of it. Background on the 1940 Census While the original intent of the census was to determine how many representatives each state was entitled to send to the U.S. Congress, it has become a vital tool for Federal agencies in determining allocation of Federal funds and resources. The census is also a key research tool for sociologists, demographers, historians, political scientists and genealogists. Many of the questions on the 1940 census are the standard ones: name, age, gender, and race, education, and place of birth. But the 1940 census also asks many new questions, some reflecting concerns of the Great Depression. The instructions ask the enumerator to enter a circled x after the name of the person furnishing the information about the family; whether the person worked for the CCC, WPA, or NYA the week of March 24–30, 1940; and income for the 12 months ending December 31, 1939. The 1940 census also has a supplemental schedule for two names on each page. The supplemental schedule asks the place of birth of the person's father and mother; the person's usual occupation, not just what they were doing the week of March 24–30, 1940; and for all women who are or have been married, has this woman been married more than once and age at first marriage. For the release of the 1940 census online, the National Archives has digitized the entire census, creating more than 3.8 million digital images of census schedules, maps, and enumeration district descriptions.
