The Genealogy & Family History Social Network
Death and Marriage Records
FamilySearch.org has invaluable records for people researching their family history in Philadelphia. The city death certificates are the real prize because you can view the original documents. I was able to find death dates I didn't have, as well as young children who died between censuses. I even found maiden names and parents that I didn't know about.

I wrote a few articles on my blog about using the Marriage Records Indexes. See the first one here (there are links at the end to two others). Happy searching!

These records are invaluable, especially since there is not much in the way of vital statistics online for Philadelphia.
