Thanks Sherry. I haven't explored the Elk Co. GENWEB site yet but will tonight. I, along with others I'm sure, appreciate you taking the time to transcribe and post the death records. It is people like you that make our searches so much easier, allowing us to access that which we can't possibly go to search for ourselves. -----Original Message----- From: Sherry [mailto:genequeen@alltel.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 8:30 PM To: PAJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: Birth, Marriage, Death 1852-1854 Elk County has their early birth and death records from the 1852-1854 time period in the courthouse in Ridgway as well. In fact, I copied and transcribed the death records, and they are up on the Elk County GENWEB page. I always meant to go back for the 1852-1854 birth records, but at $.50 a copy and over 30 records-- well you get the picture. :-) I have not seen marriage records at the Elk County courthouse from that time period though.
