    3. I've a Philip RAPP, believed to be from Germany, who settled in Montgomery County then Chester County about 1750 or so. So far, I've had no luck with finding a ship's record for him and cannot confirm yet that he is from Germany. If you'd be so kind, I'd appreciate a lookup. Thank you!

    2. Alice J. Gayley
    3. Would you mind looking up: James Gealy/Gayley and Esther Thornton Gealy/Gayley. They lived in Drumlegagh, County Tyrone, and left for American in July of 1817, but I don't know the seaport where they left Ireland. They landed at Philadelphia, and lived in 10 Noble Street. James was a boxmaker. Thanks for any information you can provide.

DUNCAN and wife Jean Jane BOYD, emigrated some time before 1748, which is when their son, John, was born in Derry Twp., Lancaster County, PA. Both were Scots, but born and raised in Ulster (possibly County Tyrone), N Ireland. I got these names from an old DAR application. However, since every third Scot immigrant seems to have been named James, I'm hoping for any DUNCAN with a wife named Jean Jane BOYD who lived to Lancaster County, PA around that time. Derry Twp. became part of Dauphin County, and remains so today, if your book lists data by current counties. Thank you. Susan in Louisiana

    3. Peggie, Joseph died 27 July 1883. The obituary I was sent didn't list any siblings.I know nothing about his family which is one of my major frustrations. The LDS website listed Joseph's wife and children. Another person whom has posted to the World Connect site belives Joseph's father is named Peter, but it is just speculation as the moment. His son, also named Joseph, came to Pottawattamie County, Iowa after the Civil War. Thank you for the census lookups.

    3. PA is quite uniform on birth records.They are located at the county seat from 1893 to 1905. after that they are at New Castle The larger cities may have different dates that they started keeping track of birth and death records. The doctor can only record what he knew or remembered.. Marriage records start at 1885 at the county seat and are still recorded. I prefer marriage records myself for research.

    1. Re: [PA] Question about Birth Certificates
    2. Her name was probably listed as such. Births were not kept in most states until 1908/9. Then the various spaces on the certificates were not always completed. Also during this period many babies were still being born at home. If the mother had not picked a name for the baby the space on the certificate was written as "baby Jones", "girl Jones" etc. and the certificate was filed as such. The parents could later go to the health department and apply for an amended certificate. You can look at the next census record for the name of the individual. The states were mandated by the government to start keeping data on births and deaths about 1890 however most did not start doing this until about 1908. Some states started keeping records by 1867 and these records were maintained in the Probate Court along with the marriage records. Unfortunately Pennsylvania did not maintain early records. In researching, I have found that Kentucky maintained all records even before 1867 and had the most detailed data on them. Ohio did well but the data on some were sketchy..

I sent for a copy of my mother-in-laws Birth Certificate. She was born in 1909 and there has been a question about how her name was listed on the certificate. So I sent to the State of Pennsylvania for a copy of her certificate stating that I wanted it for Genealogical research and gave them all the information as I knew it. What I got back was a new Birth Certificate with a raised seal which did not give me the information that would have been on the original certificate. Also it stated her name as Baby Girl Harner. What I would like to know is if this is standard practice in this day of ID theft or is this the way her certificate actually listed her name.
