allegheny county, pennsylvania archives series, volume 1. orphans court docket 1, 1780-1820
Dockets of the Orphans Court can prove to be valuable although they are often an overlooked source of family information. Guardians and administrators were often relatives or neighbors, and attempts to partition property usually named all the children left by a particular descendent (including the names of the spouses of married daughters).

atlas of the city of pittsburgh, pennsylvania, 1911: with new and old ward numbers and street name guide

births, marriages, and deaths of allegheny county, pennsylvania, 1852-1854
Ask most genealogists about state-wide recording of vital statistics in Pennsylvania and they will tell you that the Commonwealth started recording marriages in 1885 and births and deaths were not recorded until 1906. This is technically true, but an earlier abortive attempt was in effect from 1852-1854. The main problem with this early effort was that it was voluntary rather than compulsory, and that county officials were employed as registrars. With no mandated compliance, and no penalties for non-compliance, as one might expect, compliance was very spotty. Thus these records can be a source of disappointment for their omissions, and great elation if one locates the individual sought, since these records sometimes contain certain information thats unavailable from any other source. In this volume, virtually all the births reported were from either Pittsburgh or Allegheny City. Armed with this knowledge, its still a good source to check. You may be one of the elated.
