Hi List, My family and I are planning a trip to Erie for the second week of June and I was wondering where would be the best places for research are. Of course I'm going to the court house as well as Erie Cemetery and St. Patrick's Church. I understand that there is a monument to the U.S.S. Wolverine on Presque Isle, I want to visit that as well. My ancestor served as Landsman on it during the Civil War when is was the U.S.S. Michigan. I had the ESGR do some research for me, specifically to obtain death certificates for two ancestors who died in Erie in 1879 and 1887. I was told in a letter sent by the ESGR with the other information that they had found for me that the death certificates would be sent by the office holding these records in about 2 to 4 weeks. It has now been almost 2 months does anyone know if there is a back log or something else? Parker
