How do I find if a property has liens against it?

I am doing my very first deals - 2 short sales. I'm not sure if these deals will go through - I'm just in the beginning process. But, I would like to know if there are liens on the property without paying a title company. Is there a way to do that online? I have checked the prothonotary's office online, and don't find anything there. Any advice?
Thanks!

Maria, many Countys have online property search some with the actual lien holder on it. If you don´t find these information online, then write down the parcel-number and call the auditor/accessor office. It´s worth trying.

Alternate it gives an online tracing service for that, but it cost you $100 per propertie.
