Thanks all. I did find the page last night and you are correct, it is well hidden. At first I was too focused on the part of the main page that asks fees to access the sight, but then I saw the reference to the historical index. I'm in like flynn now. I saved a link directly to the index page: http://philadox.phila.gov/phillyhistoricalindex/index.html I tested this on a different computer than the one I initially logged in with and it seems to work, so give it a try. If it doesn't work, then the regular sign in is still an option. It is probably best to click on the "I agree" the first time in anyway. I did find my estate sale information last night, so now all I have to do is request a copy of that deed and we'll see where that takes me. Thanks a lot for the help! -geo George F.
