Genealogy Resources
The resources of the Pennsylvania Department are very often interconnected. Resources supplement, complement, amplify and even contradict one another. Thus, effective research requires that a user of the Pennsylvania Department consider carefully all possible approaches to a topic. Consult with the Staff to make the connections that may broaden your search results. For information on frequently used reference sources and procedures and fees for requesting reference searches see: Research Requests.
