Act 110 – Public Records
(formerly known as Senate Bill 361)
On December 15, 2011, Governor Tom Corbett approved Senate Bill 361.
This bill amends the Act of June 29, 1953 (P.L. 304, No. 66), known as the Vital Statistics Law of 1953, to provide for public access to certain birth and death certificates after a fixed amount of time has passed. This legislation provides that such documents become public records 105 years after the date of birth or 50 years after the date of death.
To search the indices for births (1906 currently available) and deaths in PA (1906 - 1961) go here.
The original documents are now housed at the State Archives in Harrisburg and can be accessed by researchers.
I've already located the state file number for about 120 burials in Beallsville cemetery and will be updating information in the name indexes as I find more. |

1940 U.S. Federal Census coming soon
The National Archives and Records Administration will open the 1940 U.S. Federal Census on April 2, 2012—the first time this collection will be made available to the public. Once we receive the census, we will begin uploading census images to our site so the public can browse them. Initially, this collection will be what we call a browse-only collection. This means a person can scroll through the pages of the census districts much like you would look at a microfilm or a book. At the same time, we will be working behind the scenes to create an index of the census that will eventually allow people to search for their family members by name as they currently can with all other censuses on Ancestry.com. Note also that the 1940 U.S. Federal Census will be accessible free of charge throughout 2012 on Ancestry.com.
The US Enumeration Disctrict maps for the census are already available here
