-------------------------------------
C1720. PENNSYLVANIA PLACE NAMES by A. Howry
Espenshade. 375 pp., paper (1925), repr. 1998. $37.50

This is the standard reference work on Pennsylvania place
names, an unusual feature of which is that it give brief
biographical and genealogical information about many of the
persons whose names are inseparably connected with the
counties, boroughs, cities, etc. Includes an extensive list
of county histories, a table of Pa counties' formation, and
general index of persons, places and subjects. Reprint of
the original edition of 1925 which was published as
"Pennsylvania State College Studies in History and Political
Science, No. 1, College Series, No. 1".

C2955. PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MARRIAGES.
Marriages and Marriage Evidence in Pennnsylvania
German Churches by Donna R. Irish, 817 pp.,
Indexed, paper (1982), repr. 1998. $60.00

Primarily a compilation of Reformed Church marriage
records (including some records from Lutheran and
Union churches), this work provides documentation on
some 50,000 persons of German origin or descent,
as found in the records of approximately 100 churches 
in eastern Pennsylvania. The records of actual marriages,
which form the basis of the work, generally give the names
of the bride and groom, the date of marriage, names of
parents, place of residence, and sometimes place of origin,
date of birth, and previous martial status, while records of
marriage deriving from baptismal entries, burial records,
etc. variously give names of parents (usually the maiden
name of the mother), names of grandparents and sponsors,
place and date of birth and/or baptism, names of children,
and date of death.

C4569. PENNSYLVANIA VITAL RECORDS. 
>From the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and
Biography and The Pennsylvania Genealogical
Magazine. 3 vols. 2,491 pp., illus., indexed,
paper (1983), repr. 1999. $155.00

Pa vital records comprises reprint of virtually
every article on births, baptisms, marriages and
deaths that ever appeared in the two most 
important Pa periodicals. As with similar compilations, this
work was produced with the object of brining all such
material within reach of the genealogist, for complete sets
of these periodicals are almost impossible to find these
days, and, in the case of the Pa Genealogical magazine -
which lacks a comprehensive index - difficult to use. Our 3
volumes are complete indexed - a necessity in a work that
contains references to over 100,000 persons!

The vital records which appear here in a total of
some 150 articles derive from a mixture of church
registers, court records, records of local officials
and justices, ministers' records, newspapers, and
gravestone inscriptions. They cut evenly across
civil and ecclesiastical lines and represent a
cross-section of the population of early
Pa, providing one of the largest bodies of
published source materials ever seen. For the
period prior to 1820, in fact, they offer the 
researcher perhaps his or her best chance of
making ancestral connections in Pa.
