It has made many items, both publications and original documents, ever so much easier to find and access. As a result, those of us who did our research long ago, “the old-fashioned way,” may now discover, much to our surprise, that we uncovered only a fraction of what there is to find. This is especially true in whole-family genealogy. We said that we believed in thoroughly study¬ ing our ancestors’ siblings and their families, but this often was just too impractical to pursue, especially as portions of families migrated to morewestern counties and more-western states. This is no longer true. 1 am looking forward (I think) to revisiting some of my early research (and, 1 am sure, being totally embarrassed by its quality) and utilizing the numerous resources on the Internet to gain a more complete picture of my family. However, as this issue shows, there are still vast amounts of informa¬ tion that are not available or even indexed on the Internet. Crucial dis¬ coveries in both of our first two articles relied on sources that are not available electronically. Of the abstracts and transcripts that follow— mar¬ riage certificate, Bible record, justice of the peace docket, voter lists, Court of Oyer and Terminer minutes, Court of Oyer and Terminer lists none are available or indexed on the Internet. They contain hundreds and hundreds of names, many whose descendants may be looking for them right now. The moral? To do thorough genealogical research today we need to be prepared to search for our ancestors the “old" way (seeking out original documents too often overlooked) and the “new" way (utilizing electronic indexes to and images of documents such as censuses, city directories, and newspapers, for example, plus books online). — Patricia Lair Hatcher, /vivo; IGSP 1>) i Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Vol. IO (20 10) THE PENNSYLVANIA GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE Volume 46 Number 3 Spring/Summer 2010 CONTENTS EDITOR’S NOTI-S THE OLD AND Tin; NEW RICHARD ALLEN, FIRST BISHOP OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH 194 197 Aaron Goodwin PETER KOCK OF KARLSKRONA, SWEDEN; CURASAO; AND PHILA¬ DELPHIA AND CHESTNUT HILL, PENNSYLVANIA 213 Seott C.
