Paul, Don't tell me they are slow at the Free Public Library.......I just e-mailed them today. I was going to drop them a request and someone gave me the e-mail address. I hope they are faster that the Bureau of Vital Stistics It takes them 6-9 months to act. I just got a death cert I requested in July. and I mean just as in Yesterday. What kind of turn around time am I looking at ?

What site do folks recommend for obituaries? The free library in Philly is so slow that I want to try something else, even if I have to pay more for it. Thanks. best, Paul

Does anyone know where or if records of baptisms, Marriages and deaths are available? Olga

I am not at all sure such a list is available. At Arch Street Meeting House, where I was a guide for a period, the story was that there were a lot of yellow fever victims buried there, but the Meeting itself had no information. There were also a lot of people buried, as I understand it, in mass graves at 4th and Walnut (or somewhere near there). I think so many people died so quickly there may have been no funerals, and maybe no church records either. There certainly seems to have been a lot of panic, which would preclude the keeping of good records. And of course, the City kept no death records, I think, until close to 90 years later.

Hello, If anyone responded off-line to the question about victims of yellow fever in Philadelphia, I would also be interested in such a list. One of my ancestors who lived in Old Philadelphia, died in 1793, which was at the height of the epidemic, and I wondered whether he died of the fever. Thanks.

No, I'm afraid not. He came to this country some time in the 1860's from Germany. Thanks for the suggestion.

My start of my Cullen line in the US began with the arrival of Bernard Cullen from Ireland between 1860-1865. Looking for any others who are related to the Cullen descendents who all seemed to remain in the Philly area: Bernard Cullen married Catherine Kelly in 1867. They had three children: John J. Cullen (1868-1908) married Ellen Mahoney Rose A. Cullen (1869-1898) married Peter Wickersham Charles B. Cullen (1871-1903) married Helen Loomis Children of John J. and Ellen were Mary, Bernard, James, Charles J., Rose, John, and Catherine Cullen Children of Charles B. Cullen were Catherine, Charles J., Elizabeth, Rose, and James C. Cullen Children of Rose Cullen and Peter Wickersham were Louisa, Joseph, and Rosaline Wickersham Thanks, Jim Cullen

Thanks Bill. Is there any way to find out who these ALMONDS married?

Thank you for responding so quickly. I checked the web site for the Catholic Archives that Mary sent and the price for research is $15.00 per hour. Very reasonable since I am in Florida and this might help me find my 4th great grands. ginger
