Volume No. 25 in the Inventory of the County Archives of Pennsylvania Series provides a summary of the available county records that were being maintained and archived at the Erie County courthouse in 1940, when this volume was originally published. A synopsis of how the county records are organized and what an Erie County, Pennsylvania genealogy researcher should expect to find within the records is provided. There is no guarantee that the described county records are still available at the Erie County courthouse more than sixty years later. Microfilms of the some of the identified county record groups are available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg, PA and Family History Centers. This CD also includes "PA Counties," a software program for viewing and exploring the evolution of the counties of Pennsylvania. This CD should spark new ideas for exploring seldom examined and forgotten county records and is a must for any serious Erie County, Pennsylvania genealogy researcher. (381 pp)
