I prefer using this site of the e-sources:
http://westmorelandweb400.us:8088/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?procfun+egsesrv+eso01+PRD+ENG

As an example I search the surname Byerly using the first link, then clicking on marriage.
I come up with 108 marriages.

Westmoreland County Marriage 1885 - present: e-Search
http://www.co.westmoreland.pa.us/index.aspx?NID=1572


Although you may find some of the marriages on familysearch.org

Pennsylvania, County Marriages, 1885-1950
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1589502

Pennsylvania, Marriages, 1709-1940
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1681011

I will admit, you may find more marriages listed on the Westmoreland site than are on familysearch in regards to Westmoreland County. Several of the marriage records I was researching were listed on the Westmoreland site, and were not even listed on familysearch.org.

Give it a try, the Westmoreland site will also provide newer marriages after 1950. If you know the surnames in your tree, it is well worth the effort.

Sincerely,
