The Orphan's Court is the place that some birth, marriage and some deaths recorded. I know in Potter County they have a book with early adoptions, but I haven't had to look for it in McKean County.

Susan, You response to this query was very interesting to me especially the information about the Orphan's Court book. Besides the cemetary records does that book have information about orphans? My great grandmother left Ireland when she was 3 or 4 with an older brother and sister (no parents). Apparently they were raised in Bradford under the "sponsorship" of someone living there. Would the Orphan's Court book have info about "sponsorships"? I believe the time would be the late 1800's, however, I have very few facts related to her life. Frankly, this section of my genealogy has laid dormant, but that book has peaked my interest.

They will help you with what you need to get started. Also, at the Orphan's Court, they have a book with cemetery records and who is interred in them. It is under the counter, above the marriage licenses. I am not sure how much you have been in courthouses to research, but one of the tips I can give you is to ask for original records to be copied. For instance, if you find a record for probate or an estate administration in one of their books, there are additional records that can be found by asking one of the ladies to go into the basement and find the actual record.
