Linda:I fail to see what you think that the Pennsylvania records are
confusing. It is in fact a vast collection and east to wade thru. In
addition to the State Archives, most counties also have web site and they
again are loaded with info. The state is very history minded, their roads
are lousy and their taxes are low. I live in Maryland (next door to Pa.) and
plan to visit on a day trip tomorrow I will walk the lands that my ancestor
settled on in 1741 thanks to the State of Pennsylvania translating old hand
written maps onto modern maps. Just to make you feel better I think PRONTO
STINKS!!, almost everything Pa. has is on the net one way or another, can
you say the same thing about PRONI?
