Would the Orphan Court listing show half-orphns as well? I am looking for any information I can find on the Brock family. The father, Charles Brock, died somewhere between 1885 and 1900. This family lived in Lancaster Township on all records I have found so far. Mother Annie Brock and her children are listed on the 1900 census, all the children (teenagers) having jobs. Betty in Sac > The Orphan Court listing actually shows the birth order of the females also.

Hello Fellow Listers: The term "Orphan Court" is actually a little misleading. Sure they sometimes deal with assigning a guardian for a deceased person's minor children.... but they can also - more often - deals with other legal matters that have not been handled or taken care of through the making of wills or deeds.... etc.. Usually you will find that estates are being settled for someone who died intestate [not having a will].
