Following are special links direct to the LDS Family Search Database. It's
unfortunate that the Family Search system doesn't let you search on
just a first or just a last name unless you already know the
microfilm batch number you need. And how do you get a list of available
online batch
numbers? Boy, I don't know, but I've accumulated a list (mainly by
searching for John Smith and Mary Smith for different types
of records and making notes of the films that come back. This way, I can concentrate
my online searches on areas that actually exist online.
You can either click the links below, or better, open two web browser windows
or tabs, and then change the number manually while doing repeated searches.
This way, you can search for just a first name or just a last name. Also,
you can reduce your search to just these records in Philadelphia (instead of
all of Pennsylvania).
Update 7/2010 - I actually wrote a program in shell on a Linux machine to automatically search all these films at one time and concatenate all the results
on a single web page - very nice!!
To use this, click
this link
and set the Region to North America. Copy/Paste the Batch numbers below into the
Batch Number. Then add your first or last name to the search window and click "Search".
If you want to find all the "John's" that were born in a certain time frame, go ahead (for example,
in case the entry was indexed incorrectly). Or want to find all the Johnson's married in a certain year, you can do that, too. (I was able to find Elizabeth Mix listed as Lizzie Mix this way).
The dates in the tables are approximate. Since many of these are based on
returns to the county, there are often entries several months (or a year)
after the event, so be sure to check a wide span of dates around the one
of interest. Note that some batch numbers seem skipped and there's some places where it
seems the data is just not online (the date ranges seem missing). In some cases, I just
haven't finished adding dates, so you may need to do your own research, too.
The Film Sheet number (3rd column) can give more information on the content. Use this URL, but
change the URL link (in your browser) to have the sheet number in column 3 (ie, change 1289306 to
whatever you're interested in - not all have descriptions).
Note that not all of these records are available on-line.
