State Archives in Harrisburg will hold *ALL* county deeds, wills and some other things until about 1850. After that year you must go to the individual counties to get information. Lebanon Co was established in 1813, so their deeds etc will only begin at about that year. I've found the Archives to be best for older research since everything is in one place. Also, around the time of the change, sometimes the deed etc could be found in either county. In Lebanon Co you will find deeds, etc at the County Courthouse as Shirley mentioned. Parking is generally good in Lebanon (free.) Parking in Harrisburg is "interesting". <G> I've found the parking garages easiest, since they are long-term. The State Library is also in the vicinity, and the Dauphin Co Courthouse is within about a 10-15 minute walk. -Linnea At 20:25 3/21/99, Shirley M.
