I am researching John Mullen born abt1780 in PA. I believe his father was James Mullen. I would like any info that can help with birth records. Trying to trace to immigration. John married Elizabeth Firestone in 1802 and had several children, he died in 1836 in Ohio.

Hi Keith
I am Suz (SJ) Cruse and I have read your message about friend doing PA genealogy. I'm not sure I can come up with everything you need, but give me a bit of time and I'll see what I can dig up. If your friend is in or near Philly, the place to start would be the Historical Society of PA. when I was there I would give 'em $5, take a deeeep breath,go in and have at it., It's an amazing place. Now, I'm gonna dig in my stuff and see what I can come up with for you. If you want to email me at my email it is deafmtnbear@gmail.com

I have a friend who just began working in genealogy research in PA and I offered to help. The questions asked or sources of confusion have me stumped....

1. An inability to locate Court Minutes. Those Minutes were the main resource for southern research, of course, along with the census.
2. An inability to find a research- how-to manual for PA research, the court names are extremely unfamiliar----prothonotary, etc., but duties of some of those offices I am finding online.
3. An inability to locate online explanation of PA tax records, roughly 1750-1850. For example, in Bedford County I find this among tax records: "return of land", and I have never before seen that designation. Also, what does it mean when the tax record reads "non-resident", yet the individual is being taxed, as I recall in Bedford.
4. What terminology does one use to obtain estates executors or administrators annual returns done until estate probate is completed?

Can anyone help out?
Thanks
Keith

Researching Samuel Steel b. 1768 in PA, his wife, children, and his ancestors, about whom I currently know nothing at all. His children ultimately settled in OH, IL, IA, KS, NE and MI.

This is George Robertson in Louisville, Ky. I am looking for info on my first known Robertson ancestor, Samuel Robertson, (ca.1744-1815). He die in Washington County (Springfield), Ky. We have never known where he came from but I am suspecting that he is the "Robertson" involved inthe exploits described int the book, The History Of tThe Hardin Family In The Early Settling of Kentucky. The people in the book started from Fayette County, Pa in 1780 down the Ohio river to Kentucky. Anyone with knowledge of Robertsons or Robinsons in Western Pa., please contact me
