I recieved this from another list and thought it might help someone Jill
wasn't there a High St. around Spring Garden or Troy Hill? My memory is a little dim, but I think I am right.
Al, I recall an inquiry some time ago about High Street. While filing some notes (moving from one pile to another) I find a note that says in 1837 High Street ran from Coal Alley to FARMERS AND MECHANICS TURNPIKE (Grants Hill). Do you remember those streets ?? What would F & M Tpk be known as today ??? Mac
Just my two cents. I hate the word NEE meaning maiden name for females. I have family named NEE, try putting that in a search engine. You get millions and not one a given name. Carol Apollo, Pa.
Sorry if anyone gets this twice am asking the Pa Pittsburgh and Pa Allegheny lists if anyone goees to the Archives of Industrialized Society operated by the University Library System of the University of Pittsburgh? Who would be willing to do a look up? Last year I asked about a Small Pox outbreak in Pittsburgh during the winter of 1845 - 1846. Having the family story of Anne Jane Adams Allshouse being placed in a strawn strewn room with and watching her mother Lydia Adams and two sisters whose names we don't know, die of small pox in 1845. I had searched for information on possible small pox epidemics in the past and never found anything for 1845. After finding that at least one of these deaths occurred on Dec 10th of that year. Then found a couple of references on the Historic Pittsburgh site: Standard History of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania / edited by Erasmus Wilson. Chicago : H.R. Cornell & Co., 1898. 1074 p. : ports. ; 26 cm. Page 623 "winter of 1845-6 many cases of small pox appeared here. Part of the old water works building was fitted up for the reception of the poor patients by the director of the poor". FOUND the same quoted in these sources from the Historic Pittsburgh site as well.

I contacted AIS by email based on information concerning their holdings and if these would not be contained in the collection, any suggestions of where to look as we were planning a trip to the area for on site research. Unfortunately, my mother became ill and we were unable to make the trip.I had to put my research aside while being her caretaker during her final illness. I have no record of a reply from AIS after their initial confirmation of receiving my request. NOT that they didn't reply, as I lost a lot of email during that time and assume that is what happened. I also asked about Pittsburgh School District (Pa.) Records, 1836-1937. UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, ARCHIVES OF INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY AIS 69:18 Minute books of school district boards, minute books of school board committees, account books, cash books, attendance reports, high school enrollment record book, immigrant enrollment books for elementary and secondary schools in the Pittsburgh area including Pittsburgh School District records for areas later incorporated into the city. If the above mentioned collection of records contain enrollment records for the West Ward Free school? According to information found on a search of the Historic Pittsburgh site, the West Ward "Free" school, (sometimes called the pauper school) opened in 1838, school house was a 3 story brick building on Ferry St between 4th and Liberty, and was in use til approx 1847, a Mr & Mrs Creighton were in charge of it. Female Dept was taught by a Miss Emaline A Evans with 120 students. Who were taught - orthography, reading, penmanship, arithmetic, geography, grammar, plain and variegated needle work etc... Am seaching for student enrollment records for my Great Great Grandmother Anne Jane Adams and any of her siblings.

Hi, I am searching for family of Richard & Ellen Joyce who appear in the 1900 & 1910 census on Dupont Street and Greenfield Avenue respectively. They had children Alice, Michael R., Stephen, Anna May, John J., Thomas, and Winifred. I believe they are related to our Martin family from Co. Galway. Carol
Hi Lorraine, I know there are many Gibbons here in Pittsburgh, but thought you'd to know you aren't the only one that lost one or two of them in PA :) I leave on Friday, for your favorite part of the states. I'm starting to get excited about seeing the grandchildren, as it's been almost a year since our last visit. You take care and I'll catch up with you when I get back home. Karen
Hi, I would like to contact Donna Gibbons Scavo who graduated from Perry High School in 1965. I think we may be related. Carol
Morning folks - i got this from one of the genealogy e-mail rings I am a member of - this map is a great representation of the German communities of the Eastern USA in 1870. Have never seen one like this before thought I would share it with folks.

When you look at current day maps, some populations have grown so much my brain has trouble understanding. On the other hand the area I grew up in western Iowa had 23.7 people per square mile in 2001. The remainder of German decendents are using 4 to 8 wheeled 300 to 500 horsepower tractors which would have frightened many of the Generals of the past. The result is that my home town had a population of 942 in 1960 and it was 839 in 2001. Has mechanization affected the farms of Germany that way?

I am looking for these two people or descendents in regards to William L. Phillips. Hilda I know was his daughter, Gilbert maybe a grandchild? William L. Phillips was my Great Uncle and was a brother to my Grandmother Anna May Phillips/Bibey. I have been looking for 3 years for their mother Anna Eliza Dowling/Phillips. Recently, I sent and received her death certificate (asked for a 10 year search) and know at least she died in 1917 and is buried in Chartiers Cem. Her fathers given name wasn't listed but his surname was DOWLING. Her mothers name is very hard to read but I believe it is Sarah Parks. No place of birth was given. Anna Eliza Dowling was seen on the 1860 census living/staying/visiting with a MORROW family. During the late 1870's she married Elijah Phillips. There is a lot of information I have however, until I get information on the Dowling and Parks family I can't continue with ;this very important part of my family tree. So, if anyone has any information regarding any of these names I would appreciate it if you would contact me. Thank You, Alice
