To all PERKINS researchers If you have PERKINS who might have come from New England or who were in the Southern JN/Eastern PA area, look up Gilbert Cope's material. LDS has photoed his work and PERKINS is found on the MOrmon file #0517053. This film also includes some material on PERKINS in England. Gilbert Cope was an outstanding Quaker researcher in Philadelphia in the 1890s and later. His work fills 75 rolls of microfilm, the first being an index to all the family names that are included. See LDS Pennsylvania research guide under Genealogy for more details.
