Hi,
For deaths after 1906, you can actually access the indicies here:
http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pub... and order them from PA for $3 each.
That being said, I have a Martin Ratchford, b 1878 in Scranton in my tree (son of Martin Ratchford and Mary Harrison). Martin Ratchford Sr was brother to my great great grandfather, James Ratchford. Any connection here?
