The “Pennsylvania Biographies and Genealogies, 1600s-1800s” is a significant resource, indexing around 315,000 individuals. Its value lies in its coverage of a time when Pennsylvania lacked a centralized system for collecting vital records. This collection is particularly crucial for genealogical research, as it provides access to many rare, hard-to-find, and out-of-print volumes, making it an essential tool for those exploring family histories in Pennsylvania before the late 1800s.
