Hello: Where can I find a birth record for a person born in either Pottstown or Swedeland in 1877? I contacted the Montgomery County Clerk's office, and after being transferred four times, their Passport Office told me they no longer have birth certificates at the Clerk's Office. They sent me to a Scranton office where I was told their records commence in 1906. Scranton sent me back to the Montgomery County Clerk. The Clerk's office then said they don't know where these records would be kept, but they suggested I call the Montgomery County Historical Society. Does anyone have more definite advice than this? Thank you for any assistance you can give me. Best wishes, Pat in Florida
