Very interesting!! At this point, I wonder if the PA State Archives or the Library in Harrisburg would be the best bet to find anything??? How did he find out the record was in another location? Thanks. Teri Teri: Can't be of much help, however usually all records are kept in the parent county of record. The classic story, along this line, a researcher was looking for an ancestor who lived in Key West, FL (now Monroe County) nothing could be found until the researcher discovered the record was in ST Johns County (St Augustine, north Florida) some 400 miles north. At the time there were just two organized counties in the state, thus St Johns was actually the entire eastern part of the state. Don Florida
