>I'm looking for Era, PA. I checked AniMap Plus which includes names of places no longer in existence, and I see no Era. I also checked "Pennsylvania Line, a Research Guide to Pennsylvania Genealogy and Local History," Fourth ed., compiled by Southwest Pennsylvania Genealogical Services, 1990. It has 50 pages in very small print of "Cities, Boroughs and Villages of Pennsylvania in 1900," and it has no Era. It has an Erb. I wonder of "Era" was actually "Erie." If your source was a handwritten document, and the "ie" of Erie was written close together and closed at the top rather than stretched out, those two letters could look like an "a." Do you know the route they took? Did they pass through or near Erie? Joan Lowrey
