C1720. PENNSYLVANIA PLACE NAMES by A. Howry
Espenshade. 375 pp., paper (1925), repr. 1998. $37.50
This is the standard reference work on Pennsylvania place names, an unusual feature of
which is that it give brief biographical and genealogical information about many of the
persons whose names are inseparably connected with the counties, boroughs, cities, etc.
Includes an extensive list of county histories, a table of Pa counties' formation, and
general index of persons, places and subjects. Reprint of the original edition of 1925
which was published as "Pennsylvania State College Studies in History and Political
Science, No. 1, College Series, No. 1".
C2955. PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MARRIAGES.
Marriages and Marriage Evidence in Pennnsylvania
German Churches by Donna R. Irish, 817 pp.,
Indexed, paper (1982), repr. 1998. $60.00
Primarily a compilation of Reformed Church marriage records (including some records from
Lutheran and Union churches), this work provides documentation on some 50,000 persons of
German origin or descent, as found in the records of approximately 100 churches in eastern
Pennsylvania. The records of actual marriages, which form the basis of the work, generally
give the names of the bride and groom, the date of marriage, names of parents, place of
residence, and sometimes place of origin, date of birth, and previous martial status,
while records of marriage deriving from baptismal entries, burial records, etc. variously
give names of parents (usually the maiden name of the mother), names of grandparents and
sponsors, place and date of birth and/or baptism, names of children, and date of death.
C4569. PENNSYLVANIA VITAL RECORDS.
From the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and
Biography and The
Pennsylvania Genealogical
Magazine. 3 vols. 2,491 pp., illus., indexed,
paper (1983), repr. 1999. $155.00
Pa vital records comprises reprint of virtually every article on births, baptisms,
marriages and deaths that ever appeared in the two most important Pa periodicals. As with
similar compilations, this work was produced with the object of brining all such material
within reach of the genealogist, for complete sets of these periodicals are almost
impossible to find these days, and, in the case of the Pa Genealogical magazine - which
lacks a comprehensive index - difficult to use. Our 3 volumes are complete indexed - a
necessity in a work that contains references to over 100,000 persons!
The vital records which appear here in a total of some 150 articles derive from a mixture
of church registers, court records, records of local officials and justices,
ministers' records, newspapers, and gravestone inscriptions. They cut evenly across
civil and ecclesiastical lines and represent a cross-section of the population of early
Pa, providing one of the largest bodies of published source materials ever seen. For the
period prior to 1820, in fact, they offer the researcher perhaps his or her best chance of
making ancestral connections in Pa.
