First Families of Pennsylvania—Ancestor Index
This index includes all ancestors born before 1900 who appear on an approved First Families application. Inclusion of the qualifying ancestor (the earliest named in any line) is acceptable proof of residency in Pennsylvania during one of the required time periods and may be used to document residency for future applications involving that ancestor. The remaining information may be used as a guide to additional generations but does not constitute acceptable documentation.
To use the index, find the name of interest in the first column. Then identify his or her parent in the fifth column (Parent), and trace the parent in the same manner. Generation numbers refer to the individual’s generation in the approved application. Included are all ancestors from applications approved as of March 2010.
Copies of approved lineage forms are available for $10. Requests should be mailed with payment to the GSP office, 2207 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-3010. Note that post-1900 generations will not be copied for privacy reasons.
