I will be traveling through PA in 4 weeks and want to do some genealogy research. My gg gf, George W. Dillman b. 1811, his wife, Elizabeth R. Rhone b. 1827 d. 1905 Brooklyn, and sons, Elmer b. 1864 IN and John b. 1866 Schuylkillhaven, were enumerated in Frackville during 1880 and 1891. Per the census all were born in PA. Where in PA would be my best bet to locate information on this family, specifically George's parents? Thank you Frank Dillman at http://frankdillman.com Dillman Surname DNA project http://frankdillman.com/dnaindex.htm Dillman Genealogical Bulletin Board http://pub26.bravenet.com/forum/2155013606

"Where in PA would be my best bet to locate information on this family, specifically George's parents?" My best suggestion would be to go to the courthouse in Pottsville. It is a few miles north of Schuylkill Haven, and easy to get to. Check wills, legal transactions, orphan's court records to see if there is anything available there. If you know the religion of the family church records might be helpful too. Judy
