I appreciate finding out about your website on Allegheny
county cemetaries. Didn't see g-g-g-grandfather's name
there, but have bookmarked it for checking later on.
Not to impose,but can you tell me whether there exist
any newspaper files covering births,deaths, and
marriages in and around Allegheny county during the
1820s, and if so where one can locate them? Thanks much.
