This book, the first in a series, will help answer the questions: where can I find the most information, where are the records most easily accessible, where are they easiest to read and where they are the least expensive to examine and copy.

Location, location, location are three of the most important words when attempting genealogical research in Philadelphia. This book will show with maps and charts the ever changing townships, districts, boroughs and wards from 1705 to the configuration of the 51 wards when the 1940 census was taken. A real must!

This is a digitally copied and enhanced facsimile of an original 1877 Philadelphia Ward Atlas.  Reproduced on 11 x 17 sturdy cardstock and spiral bound.
