Hi Fern, I can't speak for records in PA, am sure someone else will steer you better. However, a simple way to find which county in PA would be to go to www.familysearch.org and do a search on the 1880 US census for Charles Boyle. This is assuming they were still in PA at the time. If you find the county it will then depend on when the county started to keep birth records and you should be able to find that out on USGenWeb and PA and the county. Good luck, Ludie ----- Original Message ----- From: Fern Muirhead To: Scotch-Irish-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, November 25, 2005 10:01 AM Subject: [Sc-Ir] Births in Pennsylvania My Gt-aunt, Sarah Muirhead (1854-1926) married Charles Boyle (1841-1908). They lived most of their lives in Racavan parish, County Antrim. However, for a short period (about 1871-1874) they lived in Pennsylvania where two children were born; Frances in 1872 and Charles Andrew in 1874. This information came from a grandson of Charles Andrew, and this was the extent of his knowledge on the subject. I would welcome any advice or suggestions as to how I might track down these two births in unknown locations in PA. Thank you. >From John Muirhead
