Jennifer, There should be lookups for Bethlehem, in Northampton. Lehigh County would not supply lookups because the City of Bethlehem is in Northampton County, not Lehigh. I have had offers, but since Bethlehem is not part of Lehigh County; I send them to the Northampton GenWeb page... Suggest you contact the Northampton Coordinator if no page exists as of yet for Bethlehem look-ups... I am only concerned about municipalties that are within the bounds of Lehigh County. At no time has Bethlehem been inside Lehigh County (to the best of my knowledge the county bounds have not changed since its erection in 1812). >From the top of my head I believe Northampton Co page is... http://www.rootsweb.com/~panortha/ Sorry, hope the Northapton County site can help...
