Thank you, Bob. But my grandfather was born in 1882 so he would have been living in then Venango Co. The courthouse in Venango Co, Franklin, PA does not keep records before 1893. They sent me a letter today to that affect. Vital Records in New Castle, PA does not keep them before 1906. So I guess 1882 doesn't work for either source. I'll keep searching. Thanks for your help.

Hi Shirley, A couple of ideas. 1 - check for church records 2 - look for World War I draft registration. Gives birth info. 3 - social security application. gives birth info including parents names Hope this helps Joan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim & Shirley Daugherty" <jdoc@iquest.net> To: <PAMERCER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 9:18 PM Subject: Re: [PAMERCER] Request for Birth Certificate > Thank you, Bob.
