Many of these volumes were published by their authors and printed in very small quantities for limited distribution, making them difficult to locate and research. The information is also valuable because statewide registration of births and deaths was not required in Pennsylvania prior to 1906. These detailed volumes contain genealogical data on approximately 275,000 Pennsylvania residents and their families... "--Container.
