Finding burial records in Asylum Township
- Death records. Pennsylvania has issued death certificates statewide since 1906. For deaths in Asylum Township from 1906 on, certificates at least 50 years old are at the Pennsylvania State Archives and newer ones at the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Division of Vital Records in New Castle. For 1893 to 1906, check the Bradford County courthouse, usually the Register of Wills.
