A few more finds today.

A great find.  Looking for the Family History Resource File Viewer (which I never found), I did run across this site Ancestor Tracks.  Probably found this because some Delong ancestors were some of the first settlers in Berks County, PA.  Poked around and found

http://usgwarchives.net/pa/berksp/twps.htm also has these township maps plus info on settlement and Incorporation dates.

Sooo...wonder where I can find any land records prior to 1860.  Guess I will look around.

Also see that when Aunt Wanda died (that was 29 Oct 1921 she was 4 days old) her death certificate lists Elmer as born in Paris, Iowa.   Guess we'll find out if that is Paris, Linn, Iowa or is it Paris TWP in Howard County Iowa

That's it for Now
