    2. Barb and Claire Tarentum is not the county seat so no official birth or death certificates would be there. It' s in Allegheny County so their records would be at the county courthouse in Pittsburgh if they are filed anywhere. However the Tarentum Library is a great resource for info on people living in Tarentum, Natrona or Brackenridge, PA. My favorite sources there are cemetery indexes for Prospect Cemetery, microfilm of the Valley Daily news, and Funeral Home Records for several of the funeral homes there. I've gained a weath of info on relatives after 1930 (children's married names, family still alive at the time of the persons death, birth dates, place of birth, parents) from the funeral home records. Records are in notebooks alphabetically and each person has a page of info. You could call them and have them check the books for your relative if to see if they had the funeral there. Call them and they can tell you what they charge for lookups and copies. 724-226-0770. They have a person in the genealogical section during the days they are open. Also write to Comunity Library of Allegheny Valley, 315 E. 6th Ave, Tarentum, PA. 15084 http://www.einetwork.net/ein/alvalley/local.html Barb Mills
