Hi Graham,       There are lots of places to check when working on Lancaster County Genealogy.  Typically these work best for older records so this may depend on the period your working in.      Check with you local library to see if they offer any databases that can be used for genealogy.  The Lancaster County Library offers Heritage Quest that offers access to some census information.      The Pennsylvania State Archives has lists of Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers on-line at http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/     The Pa. Genweb State Archives have lots of useful information including abstracts of wills before 1820 or so, it is located at http://usgwarchives.net/pa/pafiles.htm      Fold3, formerly NotePad.com has the printed Pa. Archives on-line at; http://www.fold3.com/page/88_the_pennsylvania_archives/ This includes warrant lists (the first purchasers of land, tax list for the period during the Revolution, Rev. War soldiers, marriages (Pa. Marriages Prior to 1790 and Pa. Marriages Prior to 1810) as well as limited church records.      This is a free service but they will ask you for your email address so they contact you with requests for full membership, which costs.        The Lancaster County Digitization Project has lots of old newspapers online that can be searched, as well as City and perhaps County directories.  It is at http://lcdp.wetpaint.com/  Lancaster County Digitization Project      There is also a web page that has the 1864 Map of Lancaster County on-line but I can't find the link, maybe someone else here will post it.      There are other sites of varying usefulness, our web page is good if your ancestors lived in Conestoga, Manor, Martic, Pequea and Millersville and Washington Boroughs.  We are at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pacahs/       You can use the site search feature to search your surnames.                                                                                                            Jim         ________________________________ From: "glouer2@aol.com" <glouer2@aol.com> To: PALANCAS@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 10:26 PM Subject: [PALANCAS] Any Lancaster Co Records Online ? Sorry if this has been asked before. I can no longer go to the library, so I'm doing my researching on line, and have several families in Lancaster Co I'd like to find out more about if possible. Anyone have suggestions ?

Good ones Jim! http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r17-534WhitesideMaps/r017-534WhitesideMapInterface.htm The above links are some good maps but a little earlier than 1864 and the below link is to the maps that go with the warranty lists. http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/dam/rg/di/r17-522WarranteeTwpMaps/WarranteeTwpMapInterface2.htm#warrantee%20township%20maps the warranty lists indexes can be searched at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paslchs/IndexImages.html and then the original can be viewed at http://www.lancasterdeeds.com/lanco_rod/cwp/view.asp?a=662&q=582879 I don't suppose there are any special sites for Bart Twp or Mount Joy?
