As to the question of tax lists from the Pennsylvania Archives on Footnote.com..... I enjoy Footnote as a subscriber; however, their indexes and search system need vast improvement. I would recommend accessing these records via Google Books (under more options on the Google toolbar). Google is scanning vast numbers of books from various libraries. All of the Pennsylvania Archives series books have been scanned. If you have a Google Account, then you can add the books to your virtual library. The search engine is superior. You can quickly link to and explore each township. Search for "Franklin County, Pennsylvania" or any other target area, and you might be surprised what books are freely available. Nearly every genealogy book I desire published pre-1920 is available, including most county histories with biographies. No need to transcribe these records. Most books have been OCR'd and you can simply switch to plain text format and then copy and paste. Also, if you haven't, check out pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch So many materials, once difficult to access, freely available.
