Hi, I am very familiar with the situation searching for ancestors in Berks County, but not in Dauphin County. Please bear with my ignorance here. My great-uncle, Charles Keehn, retired to Elizabethville, died in 1965 and is buried in the Elizabethville cemetery. His wife was Sadie Shoop, who I have been told, originally came from Lykens. They lived in Reading for many years before moving to Elizabethville. I have never found their marriage certificate in Berks County, so perhaps they were married in Dauphin County. Also, I don't know when Sadie died. I thought if I could find out what cemeteries are located in Elizabethville then perhaps I could locate some cemetery records and I find out when she died. Is anyone familiar with this area? How does one look for marriage records in Dauphin County? In Berks they are all indexed and on the web. I doubt that I will be so lucky as to find the same situation in Dauphin. Thanks for your help, Jocelyn in California __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I have the data you need. Lived in Elizabethville for 70 years, walked that cemetery and typed the cemetery association records for them. Contact me for info.
