Searching historical government records begins with finding the right index. Historical indexes are the finding aid to thousands of records within the Lancaster County Archives. Many of our indexes were originally kept by courthouse clerks over a century ago. When searching indexes, always be open to surname spelling variations as names were often recorded simply by how they were interpreted by courthouse clerks. Turn pages of the past by searching our online historical indexes on the left menu!
