I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether Falls Creek was in Clearfield County or in Jefferson County in 1898. I am looking for the birth record of Joseph/Giovanni/Gaetano surname Barba in or around Sept. 23, 1898, and being unfamiliar with the area, I do not know where to begin my search. It seems to straddle both counties.
His Italian father worked in the Falls Creek stone quarry at that time. Since Joseph's parents were Catholic, they would have had their son baptized, if at all possible. Was there a Catholic church in the area of Falls Creek in 1898? Would the birth have been recorded in the County records? Is there an index to those records?
Are there any records belonging to the quarry companies operating during this time period that are in the Clearfield reference library?
I would really appreciate any help you could give me with this matter. Thanks.
