Narrative

06-JUL-2007 - Called Bloomsburg, PA townhall and asked about birth certificates. They told me that they do not handle these and to go through the PA state website. After Checking the state's website they only have birth records from 1906 and on. Prior birth records are kept at the local court houses.

I called Columbia County PA's courthouse. Prothonotary & Clerk of Courts 35 West Main Street Bloomsburg 570-389-5614.
