  There are likely more Pittsburgh records, but I need to provide proof of death to obtain any Baptism after 1900.  I have not made any requests for the John D Walker's children.  Initial search did not result in finding the marriage record for Lawerence Walker and his wife Helena Bartmann.  I have the baptism notes, which documents what records were searched. Also had trouble finding the other children of Mathias Walker and Mathilda Nebel.
