Rich and all - I heartily recommend FTM CD #19, Egle's Notes and Queries. It is heavily Dauphin Co which the world (my part of it anyway) needs because the ones based on Humphrey's PA Births do not include Dauphin Co. Of course what I find is if you find your people on a CD, it is great, if you don't, it's a ripoff. I know no solution to that but I think you can search them at the FTM site before deciding whether to buy.
