Hi all, The Orphans Court has a research section within the Register of Wills department. For a $15 fee, they will locate the file and contact you with an estimate of charges as there is a $2 charge for each page of photocopying.

Hi all, i search information about family Stammfuss. i know all about them until the census of 1900. In the censuses from 1910-1930 there is not any hint about the family... Head of the family: Henry Stammfuss( Stamfooz, Stemmfuss, Seammfuss, Stammfuse, Stamfer and so on ... ) * Mai 1839 in germany +? he came 1868 from hamburg to new york - naturalization in 1875 wife: Cordelia *abt 1855 philadelphia +? - no information about her parents they had 6 children (born in philadelphia) and i find nothing about them after 1900 Amelia 22.09.1874 Mary C 18.09.1875 Charles H 13.09.1876 James 26.01.1878 Emma 1880 Frederick C 24.04.1883 In 1900 Henry lived only with Emma in 211 Spruce street. I think they changed the surname Are there any lists of changing surnames? It can also be, that henry and cordelia divorced and the children adopt the maiden name? Henry was a Hotel Keeper - lodgings - boarder - landlord. Are they any lists of hotels or landlords? Where i get the birth certificate or copies of baptismal certificate? Thank you very much for your help. Kori Kruse www.stammfuss.de
