Hi all, I'm hoping that some of you with more experience might be kind enough to offer me some ideas with my dilemma. The only place in the 1880 soundex I've been able to find someone matching the relative I'm looking for is in Luzerne County ( Hazle twp, dimond). To the best of my knowledge, George O'Connor (O'Conner) birthdate is Aug. 1877 (not verified yet). I found a 3 year old George on that census. I would like to get the birth record, but according to the information I've found on getting records is that they are only avail from 1893 on. Anyone have any ideas on how I may be able to obtain birth info on this person? I've tracked him back to PA but unfortunately I don't have the parents names to match up with the census info, so my best hope is to match the birthdate info. Thanks for listening (or reading as the case may be!) and any ideas would be greatly appreciated. MaryBeth
