And this?
SLIPPERY ROCK TOWNSHIP
Robert and John Burnside came from Ireland in 1817. Robert settled the place
where Samuel Burnside now lives, and made the first improvements upon it.
John Burnside was the first settler on the place now owned by John Fox. Mr.
Fox has owned it since about 1836.

Official death certificates were not kept in Pennsylvania until 1905.
You might be able to find something at the New Castle library. A death
record or an obituary.

Good idea. I already know quite a bit about him, him being my great
great grandfather. I do have an obituary for him. I was hoping that
perhaps the death record would list his mother and confirm his father.

Lawrence Co., PA
He was the h/o Catherine (Howe) Burnside b Sept 1859 and d Jan 1914.

You'd probably find them at the new castle library. They have a big book
that is a record of births and deaths.
If you email them, they will probably do a search for you at a very
reasonable fee. =)

JAMES BURNSIDE
Was born May 11, 1818, in Slipperyrock township, one mile and a half from
Princeton. His father was Samuel BURNSIDE, deceased, who came to this
country from Ireland in 1817. In 1868 James BURNSIDE came to Harlansburg and
bought the hotel property from Michael and Henry JORDAN. Mr. BURNSIDE has
thus been in the hotel business in Harlansburg for nearly twenty years. He
was married in 1848 to Catherine HOWE, of Butler county and to them ten

death certificate for a person who died in Lawrence Co. in 1898? I sent
letters to 4 different places and they come back saying they do not have
the information. I spoke to the Clerical Supervisor, Administrative
Services/Death Certification Section, Division of Vital Records in New
Castle and he couldn't tell me.
The addresses I sent letters to are 430 Court St., 101 S. Mercer St.,

If you are looking for the death records... you can get them into an LDS
Family History Center. They are microfilmed. Seems like they start about
1892 or 3 and go until the 1905 change. (It has been a while since I did
any lookups in them, so can't be precise.) Most children had parents
listed, but most adults did not. Sometimes a spouse. You never know,
though, until you check. They are alphabetical by first letter of the
surname (all the A's, then the B's..)

I wanted to let you all know that I had better luck with a phone call
yesterday. I reached a woman who quickly forwarded my call to the
appropriate office and the woman there very kindly answered my
questions.
For $5, cash or MO, no checks, they will do a search. They have death
records from 1893-1904, early birth records, I didn't write down the
date, and marriage records from 1885. Of course there are no guarantees.
Include a SASE for their use.
The request should be sent to Helen Morgan, Prothonotary,
Thanks for the quick response. I do have death certificates for folks
who died in PA as early as 1899 through 1905. They are not the
certificates as are used today but rather a copy of information that was
recorded in a large book and included name, date, cause of death,
parents, plus lots more. And of course, many of the lines were blank. I
obtained them by writing to the appropriate county courthouse. But I
can't find the appropriate one in New Castle. Beverly

Have you searched THE NEW CASTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY'S MARRIAGE/OBITUARY
DATABASE?
It has a number of BURNSIDE and even more AIKEN.
Use:
http://www.ncdlc.org
Click on the SEARCH section under GENEALOGY on the left side of the screen.
Then click on the MARRIAGE/OBIT database.
I have found numerous marriage and obituary articles by using this site and
then requesting them through the library's email.
Mr. Chris Fabian and Ms. Beverly Zona at the New Castle Library have been
wonderful to work with.
