Hello Tom do you know when Marie died??-------if so file for her death certific-------I have got a few from PA with no problem---------good luck-------Susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gospel Oak" <gospeloak@hotmail.com> To: <PENNSYLVANIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 03, 2004 3:04 PM Subject: [PA] Finding a Woman's maiden name List - I am trying to find the identity of a person that appears on the 1910 census. She is listed as Marie Schoenecker, age 22 born in Pennsylvania. I am interested in her because at the time of the census she was living with my great grandparents and listed as a niece. The census also reveals that she is a widow and has an 11 month old son Mercer who was also born in Pennsylvania. This is the only I have about her. Based on my English research, I thought that it would be a rather simple matter to acquire a birth certificate for Mercer which would reveal his mother's maiden name. To my dismay, I found that in Pennsylvania unless you can prove the person is dead or that you are a direct relation you can not get a copy of the persons birth certificate . even if they were born nearly 100 years ago. So my question is, based on the information I have, would anyone have any suggestions as to how to find the maiden name of Marie Schoenecker?
