Pennsylvania did not have a systematic registry of births before
1906. For records after January 1, 1906, write the Division of
Vital Records, P.O. Box 1528, New Castle, PA 16103-1528. For births
before that date, it is necessary to check church records or compiled
marriage records. Knowing the township where your ancestor lived
or their religious denomination will help to narrow your search.
To locate the specific church records, use the Churches and
Cemeteries in Lancaster County, LC 310.35 R579, 20 and
the online catalog, 6. Fill out a call slip
and turn in at the reference desk.
The sources listed below are all
found on the Reading Room shelves.
