Maggie, spam blockers are only for unwanted or scam mail. Unfortunately it
isn't pliable enough to enable those whom I would want to reply. Though
there is a filter I will try to see if I can allow this site. Then the
trouble is the tons of emails on this site will all come to me - that's
life I guess.

http://www.stevemorse.org has a wealth of info for those who
immigrated to NYC from 1860s to 1938, basically. You can get certificate
numbers for retrieval which lessens the cost and time to get via the
Municipal archives.
If I am going to the Archives and you need a certificate that you already
know the number and date, I would be happy to get it for you at the cost of
$6.00 (2007) versus $12.00 via mail or much more via online services.
Maggie, I'm a he and a pretty decent guy at that - if I say so myself - lol
:)

Subject: [PAGENWEB] Fwd: PA Death Certificates
Lilwolf asked me this, but requires me to add myself to her/his approved
list in order to reply. I assume the PAGENWEB address is approved.
Basically,
I've got be pretty keen to talk to someone if I'm going to go
through
that, and
mostly I'm not. These spam prevention routes are a pain. Email
ought to
be
easy.

I basically use Ancestry's search, to which I've got a full subscription
so
individual searches don't cost me anything, and the IGI. I
don't find
many of
the PA BMD records included in either, though for late 1800s I've
also
added
in the censuses, which does at least tell me about the living at that
time
and indicates a date of birth. What does the Stephen Morse site offer
for
NYC?
What link do you use to perform a search of birth records in
Philadelphia,
Pa in the late 1800s. Can you narrow it down like in NYC via
Stephen
Morse
so it will not cost as much for a search at whatever links you use.
cheers
Maggie
