    @Timothy Warke​ im curious if you’ve tried to find this record online recently? Most of the genealogy sites update their records regularly, it is possible that this record has been digitized and placed online by now.

    Thanks for the response. Yes, I tried but could not find it online. Hannah's granddaughter said some thought Hannah was buried alive in 1875, because her cheeks were rosy. I recall from seeing the microfilm long ago that the cause of death was Erysipelas which causes a reddish face. I would like to see the page again. Hannah's photo is at: https://photos.app.goo.gl/E6qjB36x8wSSMLvT7

    I agree, look for it online, if that's not an option go to:

    https://go.oncehub.com/ResearchStrategySession

    book an online consultation. Someone there can tell you how to go about having someone in the library do this for you free of charge. Make sure you are specific when stating what you want so they can attach you to the correct person. Good Luck!

    Timothy

    .

    I just took a look in the 'FamilySearch' "Catalogue" for that particular FHL Film.

    .

    'Yes', that 'Microfilm' that has been "Digitised"; but, it appears is NOT 'On-Line' in 'FamilySearch', for whatever reason

    .

    Unfortunately, the "Microfilm" ONLY appears to be available at the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church, in "Temple Square" in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

    .

    FHL Film number 388554 _ 0.

    FHL Film number 388554 _ 1.

    Whereas ...

    .

    On the "World Catalogue" is appears that the ORIGINAL Record "Custodian" is the "Historical Society of Pennsylvania"

    .

    https://www.worldcat.org/title/register-of-births-deaths-and-marriages-of-bucks-co-pennsylvania-with-index-1860-1926/oclc/865830796

    .

    FHL Film number 388554 _ 2.

    Now ...

    That said ...

    .

    You are not alone ...

    .

    As an aside ...

    .

    Unfortunately, the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church, in "Temple Square" in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA is still currently TEMPORALITY "Closed" (to the Public) due to the "COVID-19" Pandemic.

    .

    There is another option ...

    .

    As the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church, in "Temple Square" in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA is still currently TEMPORALITY "Closed" (to the Public) due to the "COVID-19" Pandemic ...

    .

    THEN, can I humbly suggest that you consider trying the following ...

    .

    You could try one of the FREE 'On-Line' Consultations through the "Family History Library" (FHL) of the Church in, "Temple Square", Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    They are NOW called ... ( Genealogical ) Virtual Research Strategy Sessions

    .

    Plus ...

    .

    As, "RootsTech" 2021, have just concluded, there may be some slight delay ...

    .

    ***

    From 21 Feb 2021 - 26 February 2021 All our staff and volunteers will be offering genealogical consultations for RootsTech Connect. The link to sign up for a consultation during that time is provided [in the link below]

    .

    Here is some links were you can access/book one of those Consultations ...

    .

    FHL _ 2 _ OnLine _ 2.

    I have seen/heard some good positive 'Feedback' from those who have used the service.

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    Please be aware that you, may not; or, maybe, CANNOT, be provided with a actual "Image" of that Record; but, you may be able to get (or, confirm) the information/details/data that you desire.

    .

    'FamilySearch' may also be able to suggest where you can get a copy of the Record, other than through 'FamilySearch'; but, also at some expense, directly from the Record "Custodian"; or, through an external "Commercial" Website (eg. "Ancestry_com"; "MyHeritage_com"; ETC; Etc; etc ... ).

    .

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained ...

    .

    Good Luck.

    .

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks Vergie and Bret. I probably looked at the microfilm at the New York City LDS stake around in the early 1970s, becasue I had the book listed in a footnote in a 1976 family report I made. There was no internet then or digital photography, so I saw no need in making a photocopy of the page.

    @Timothy Warke​ i apologize, I saw your response earlier and immediately started checking various online resources ... then I got completely sidetracked! the Pa.gov website claims that you can request a copy of death certificates issued before 1916 by contacting orphans court of the county where the event occurred... now, weather or not they actually have death records that old 🤷🏻‍♀️I dont know🤷🏻‍♀️ ... that’s the point where I kinda got sidetracked :/

    I sent an email request to the PA Historical Society for a copy of the page I was looking for. A bit steep $120 but about the same as a good meal for two here in New York. LHSOL
