Crawford County, Pennsylvania

All divorce petitions filed in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (1785-1815) have been abstracted, with every name Index, complementing all divorces granted by the Pennsylvania Legislature (1785-1874). See also the listing of all nineteenth century Crawford County divorce petitions, which will be searched upon request (without charge) for any specific name(s), until the abstracts and transcriptions can be made generally available.

All nineteenth century Court of Quarter Sessions dockets have been abstracted or transcribed; early dockets are being revisited to add details and, e.g., juror lists previously omitted.  These will be searched for any specific name(s) upon request, until the abstracts can be made generally available.

An Indexes page has been added to highlight the various indexes and alphabetical listings available at this site.
