There were no death certificates before 1906 in PA. Deaths were required to be reported at the county level 1893-1905, but many were not. The Wayne County Historical Society has those records on microfilm as well as gravestone inscriptions and/or obituary index which might help you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 6:11 PM Subject: [PAWAYNE-L] SOMMER FAMILY OF HAWLEY > I AM TRYING TO FIND INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING RELATIVES WHO I BELIEVE LIVED IN HAWLEY. > > JOHN SOMMER: BORN 1829 IN GERMANY > DIED 1904 (EXACT DATE UNKNOWN) IN > HAWLEY, PA. > > AUGUSTA SOMMER (NEE YASP)- HIS WIFE: > BORN 1834 (PLACE OF BIRTH IS > UNKNOWN--- POSSIBLY IN PENNSYL- > VANIA OR GERMANY) > DIED 1887 IN HAWLEY (EXACT DATE > UNKNOWN) > > WOULD LIKE TO SECURE COPIES OF THEIR DEATH > CERTIFICATES IF POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN > INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR PARENTS NAMES > AND WHERE THEY WERE BORN.
