We have just added a unique and useful item to the PennsyvlaniaResearch.com research library: a handwritten duplicate copy of the 1884 Gratz, PA tax list — prepared by the original tax collector.
Arranged in three sections (freeholders, tenants, and single men) this small tax book offers the name of the tax payer and the amounts paid to the alms house building tax, county tax, and state tax.
Of course, we will be scanning and preserving this work. As soon as it is fully indexed, we will also be offering name searches.
