Fran:
The are on line at;

http://www.alleghenycounty.us/deeds/

But contacting them will not help. Unfortunately the only way to
research this is either in person or hire somebody. The LDS have the
records on microfilm, but at best trying to do it that way would be a
real chore. The only other way I know of is the State Archives in
Harrisburg also have the records on microfilm.
