I have a question, my gggrandmother died at age 30, in 1884. Everywhere I look you cant get records that far back, they start at 1902. Thats one question, She was buried in a pauper grave in Trinity cemetery in Erie pa. There is no Obit, there is no death record or funeral record, nothing, nothing in the Historical societys, genealogy societys, or librarys. Now someone somewhere had to at least prepare her body, and somehow she got in that grave, where do you look for such records? In PA. Also 31 years later her husband died in the Erie Co Poorhouse, are there patient records anywhere? I know the history of the Almshouse I need to learn a little something about the people there. Any information would be helpful lindadougan47@worldconnx.net
