BIRTH RECORDS

Our office has birth records for MOST births that occurred between 1893 and 1906.  It was not a requirement for births to be reported, but most were.  You can view these records on our public terminals in the office.  We are able to produce a certified copy if that is what you need.

After 1906, birth records are kept at the PA Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics.  You can request a copy of a birth certificate online, in person, or by mail at the PA Department of Health:  Birth Certificates (pa.gov)

DEATH RECORDS

Like birth records, our office has death records for MOST deaths that occurred between 1893 and 1906.  You can view these on our public terminals in the office.  We are able to produce a certified copy if that is what you need.

After 1906, death records are kept at the PA Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics.  You can request a copy of a death certificate online, in person, or by mail at the PA Department of Health:  Death Certificates (pa.gov)

MARRIAGE RECORDS

All marriage licenses that have been issued by the Elk County Clerk of Orphans Court office are available in our office.   If the marriage license was issued in a different county, you'll need to contact that County's Clerk of Orphans Court office to get a copy or information regarding that license.  Just as a reminder, a Pennsylvania marriage license is valid state-wide; and is not necessarily in the County in which the couple was actually married.   Feel free to contact our office if you have questions.
