Good Evenin' Dianna and Fellow Listers: For a Birth Record or documentation for times other than 1852-1855 you will have to find Bible or Church Records. During the years 1852-1855 the State required that the births and deaths be recorded at the County level in the County Court House. [note: The years may differ from county to county in Pennsylvania but the years listed before are true for at least the following list: Cumberland, Perry, Adams, York, Franklin, Juniata] Donna ----- Original Message ----- From: <mtmodie@aol.com> To: <PALANCAS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 5:26 PM Subject: [PALANCAS] Lancaster County birthrecords > To the list: > My gg grandmother was born May 15, 1856 in Lancaster, County PA.
