Hi All, Does anyone know how far back marriage records were kept in Allegheny County? I am looking for a record from 1870, but I do not have the exact date. Finally, do I contact the same courts that have them today?

Dear Gina, The Allegheny County Register has records beginning in 1885. The first index book, 1885-1925, may also be found on microfilm at the Carnegie Library in Oakland. The library also has on microfilm and possibly in a print book minister returns from 1875-1885 I think. I'm sure others on the list know the precise limits of those records. I think that the Western PA Genealogical Society has published a book of these early minister returns. It's on their website and probably in the Carnegie catalogue. There is also an index of births, deaths, and marriages for 1852-1854 covering the entire Commonwealth county by county. There are also numerous extant church records covering the period in which you are interested.
