When you go to the following site:

http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his480/riggtown.htm
You get the home page!

When you click on: 1. View reports & data from the Register of Deaths
Chester Co., (PA), 1893-1907
You get:

Register of Deaths
1. Names from the "Register of Deaths Chester County (1893-07) sorted
alphabetically.

A B C D E

When you click on A looking for ADAMS!
You get:

404 File Not Found
The requested URL /jones/his480/deaths\rod-a.htm was not found on this server.
Please notice the (slash) between: deaths\ rod-a. (this is wrong)

This was programed WRONG & should be:
http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his480/deaths/rod-a.htm (this is correct)
The (slash) should be: deaths/rod-a.
When you change the (slash), then you go to the "Names beginning with A

<< Marge,


This site is available to anyone. Try

Perhaps the addresses given by others didn't have the .htm at the end. This

will take you to the Riggtown homepage created by James Jones. His history

class students helped transcribe the records. The Death Index data was

taken from the original public records housed at the Chester County Archives

and Records Services in West Chester, PA. This is the index you should see:


SITE INDEX

Click on the first one (highlighted "reports and data" in RED) and it will

take you to:


Register of Deaths, 1893-1907

Then just click on the letter of the surname you are looking for.


If this doesn't work, let me know who I can look up for you. As many as you

need. You helped me find a vital piece of THOMAS information I had been

roadblocked at for several years and I'd be only to happy to return the

favor.


Good Luck,

Judy
