Funeral Homes
Funeral homes are an often overlooked resource for death records. Bear in mind that funeral home records are private records, but I've found most funeral home directors more than happy to share information with genealogists. Here is a list of area funeral homes in the county and in adjacent counties as well. Let us know if you come across incorrect or outdated information.

TOPKnowing where an ancestor lived is crucial to finding records. This is a list of known settlements, boroughs, villages and towns in the county. In some cases their aliases are given. Also listed are their location in the current civil divisions, coordinates used in locating the community on online maps and GPS receivers (WGS84 datum, DD.MM.MM), and the name of the 7.5 minute quadrangle United States Geological Survey map.
