I have been attempting to get this book on Interlibrary Loan but all copies in the libraries on on Generalogy Reserve. I have been looking for 25 years attempting to determine the ancestors of John Rees from the area of Greene County PA. He was born before Greene Co. existed. Our family has since changed the spelling of the last name, but it appears to have been Rees at that point in time. Following is the information on John Rees and his wife and her family. They seemed much more prominent than John's family in the area. JOHN REECE was born 03 May 1768 in Pennsylvania, and died 10 Jan 1842 in Perry Twp Clay County Indiana. He married SUSANNAH MOREDOCK, daughter of DANIEL MOREDOCK and RUTH WILLIAMS. She was born 05 Jun 1771 in Greene County Pennsylvania, and died 02 Jun 1834 in Clermont County Ohio.

From 1893 - 1906 death records were filed at the courthouse and in many instances the cemetery was noted ( but not always) Prior to 1893, churches would be your best bet. Records for deaths after 1906 are at the vital statistics office in New Castle http://www.dsf.health.state.pa.us/health/cwp/view.asp?a=168&q=229939 This is the website for the PA Dept of Health. There are order forms that you can download that will tell you all the information you need to fill out. The last time I ordered any death certificates, they were $9.00 each. Good luck.
