    Thanks so much. Immediately after watching this I found he maiden name of my 5th great grandmother by looking at death certificates by surname. Her name was listed on a death certificate of a son that I didn't even know existed. That was just in the first record of 764! Thank You Christa!

    Best introduction to PA I’ve heard! Have struggled for 15 years to find records in PA. A very important state in American history, PA has remained difficult to research. I’ll take your advice to hopefully improve upon my results.

    The house which stands in Fogelsville, Pa has been a part of my family for over 100 years. Third, or possibly even 4th, generation is currently residing in the handed down home. Current deed dates back to the 1800's, on my grandmother's side. I have a tiny photo, black and white, and as thick as cardboard of my great grandfather behind the house in the fields that no longer exist. Before becoming a Beitler her maiden name is Kressly and was born inside our house. I always encourage learning about our past and great videos such as yours. Yet I wonder just how far back do we really Go? What was life like back Then? I got to use the outhouse and pump well water. All have gone now, but when did it Begin? Thanks for reading and good day to you all.

    Super presentation! Nice to remind of the basics or search and to give a bit more detail, this was extremely helpful and a great memory jog. Thank you so much

    Thanks so much. Our (my parents') families are pensylvanians back to the year 1800, and although we've done lots of research, I have shared this video with all children in the hope they will use the recommended approaches to go beyond what we have been able to accomplish so far.

    Luckily my family is fortunate to have the Callen chronicles. I’m having trouble researching before John Callen. Father of Patrick Callen born 1745, Armstrong County.

    I was looking for the learning center and they have taken that off of the search. I have really been struggling to find information about people from the 1850's and 1860's.

      Are you trying to find them in the 1850 and 1860 census? You might find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/6qblhQ_V_YY/w-d-xo.html

      I have found them multiple times in Census except for the father, Israel, in 1860 he disappears. HIs wife had 9 children, only a few lived at home, so perhaps many of the children died. She lists herself as a widow in 1865. No idea how he died, or hundreds of thousands of other men between 1859 and 1865. I am hoping to find railroad records. His 8th child was born in Wisconsin and then the next year or two the 9th child was born back in New York. I don't know if he worked for the stage coach or train in 1859.

    I would say Jacob Forney Sr. ( who moved to NC ) and Andrew Alexander Dye? is the only possible Pennsylvania ancestor besides
    my cousin moving from maryland to philly and is married to a girl from pittsburgh

    I have a BIG problem following you in this video. I don't have all of the listings you have on the Ancestry tool bar. I only have Home; Trees; Search; DNA; Help; and Extras, whereas your tool bar has Family Trees; Search, DNA; collaborate; Learning Center; Publish; Shop & Gifts; and Hire and Expert. How do I look for the learning center you were talking about? If I don't have one I guess I won't be able to use these videos at all.

      Hi Paul, Thanks for the question. This video is about 4 years old so there have been a few changes to the site since then. However, the records are still available and the basic genealogy methodology discussed is still very applicable. The Learning Center has been removed. You can now find much of the content from there under HELP | Support Center.
