How to Find Pennsylvania Death Records: Difference between revisions

Pennsylvania did not record deaths on a state level until 1906. Prior to 1906 some attempts were made to record deaths but these were usually done on the county level and not until about 1893. To determine a date of death for an individual church and cemetery records are the primary records to search. There are also [[Substitute Records For United States Death Information|substitute records]] which can be searched when there is an absence of death records.
