Note: A number of counties continued to record births and deaths well past January 1st, 1906 when the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania started a statewide system of recording births and deaths. There is no hard and fast rule as to when they stopped especially what time of year. For this reason some records shown above may include some births and deaths recorded in the following year or may be the final year any were recorded. This would explain differences between records shown under Time Period versus Copied or Extracted Data.
The biggest difference between a county death record and state death certificate is the state death certificate includes the date of birth and the parents' names (including the mother's maiden name) for all persons not just when a minor. While all births and deaths were required by law to be reported to the PA Dept of Health as of January 1st, 1906 county birth and death registries basically consist only of those births and deaths reported to the counties by physicians and possibly midwives.
