Hi folks - Just a quick note to say that a few updates were made to the 74th PA website. They included the adding of a couple new researchers and their ancestor's information, the inclusion of a colleague's sutlery business out here on the West Coast - yes we have re-enactments too, and a great picture of the 74th Memorial at Gettysburg ca. 1900. Also two reminders for May events - from the notes I was sent. For more information contact the individuals noted below: 1. Blenheim Weekend - Blenheim House, Fairfax, Virginia (four of "our boys" left their grafiti on the walls in this historic mansion) we will be sponsoring an event the weekend of May 1st and 2nd and the house will be open to the public - tours of the attic walls themselves will also be open by special appointment as well. TO find out more information about our event here in our wonderful City please take a look at the link below. Thank you and your WEB team for recognizing our efforts to save this great piece of history - I hope you will have a chance to come see it for yourself soon - http://www.ci.fairfax.va.us/CityHistory/BlenheimCivilWar.htm Brad Preiss [[email protected]] 2. Snyder County, PA Memorial Day Greetings to you and yours. At the dedication of the restored Snyder County Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Middleburg, PA on May 31st (Memorial Day), a wreath will be laid at the monument by four veterans who are also descendants of Civil War soldiers. Two of these men - Maurice M. Zechman and Russell J. Goss - are descendants of Reuben Zechman of Company D of the 74th Pennsylvania. The dedication will take place in the evening following Middleburg's Memorial Day parade (approximately 6:15pm). Everyone is invited - we'd be glad to have other friends and descendants of the 74th present. John Deppen [[email protected]] Enjoy! Rod Fleck Sent from Forks, Washington

I believe you are looking for Peter P. Kanai Funeral Home. I know they had a funeral home there as well as one in McKees Rocks. My family used them for interment, however, both no longer exist. The records from McKees Rocks were destroyed in the big flood. I was recently told that there is still one surviving Kanai Funeral Home somewhere in the city, but I never bothered to contact them. Pat

Does anyone know if this funeral home is in existence still Peter P. Kawas or Kauas or something like that on Preble Ave in Pittsburgh Thanks Donna Searching for surnames: PARKS, BLAZEVIC, PYLE/PILE, BAIR/BARE, MISETIC DOUBT, Gates, to name a few mostly in CENTRE CO. ARMSTRONG CO. BUTLER, CLARION CO. and PITTSBURGH, PA plus in Bosnia and Croatia

Here's the Kanai I recently contacted regarding a possible deceased relative. They would not release any info to me as I am out of state and can't prove my relationship. I hope it helps.

Hi John - Sounds like a wonderful event and I wish I could make it from Washington State to the Keystone State at the end of May for it. I will circulate this out to the 74th list and hopefully someone could make it for this historic dedication by some of our own. Could I also ask that someone send me a few digitals for the website?? Be a great opportunty to add some "current photos" of folks. Again John thanks for the invite and know that I will be with you in thought and spirit that day!

Found on another list: Buried veterans records on the Web. The VA has made available 3.2 million records. VA has made it easier and faster for the public to get answers about family history, old war buddies or famous war heroes. The agency put on the Web 3.2 million records for veterans buried at 120 national cemeteries since the Civil War. The web site is www.cem.va.gov. The VA's Nationwide Gravesite Locator also has records for some state veterans cemeteries and burials in Arlington National Cemetery since 1999. These records used to be on paper and microfilm.

Dennis, It seems you have received alot of info on "East End". Here is my two cents. Rebecca and Penn is on the lower side of Wilkinsburg. Close to East Liberty, but Wilkinsburg. I was born and raised in Wilkinsburg and went to Church on Rebecca St.. Penn is the main street through Wilkinsburg going towards East Liberty. East End is a familiar name to me. Good Luck Carol, Apollo, Pa.

--=======552BC======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-53EC77EE; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Dennis, The address and names told me Garfield. Brown's Place is an alley named Brown Way. The Rebecca threw me off and, initially, I thought that you were mistaken and the true name was Rosetta. Close but no cigars. Further checking showed me that Rebecca is the old name for Aiken. So, if you can find Penn and N. Aiken in Garfield, a couple blocks north and you'll see Kincaid. Brown Way is between Kincaid and Rosetta and runs east from N. Atlantic. It does not run through to N. Aiken. The info previously given to you by others regarding Lyric St is correct.

I think the 'East End' refers to a large area; certainly today if would include East Liberty and Penn Ave. The Smithfield Cemetery in Squirrel Hill is referred to as 'Smithfield E.E.' (East End), so I think Squirrel Hill would also be considered part of it (A vastly different neighborhood from East Liberty). I believe in older days, when the city was expanding, East End referred to areas outside (to the east) of Lawrenceville and the strip district. (And Lawrenceville was once considered a suburb!) I am aware of any 'official' boundaries. Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Seeds To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2004 5:06 PM Subject: [PITTSBURGH] East End?

Dennis; I grew up in the East End....I do not know the first address you mentioned, however, Lyric St was off Lincoln Avenue, in Pgh's East End. This was a residential area of mostly single family homes, and was a good area, when I lived there....My Grandfather built many of the brick homes on Paulson Avenue there. Lincoln Ave runs from East Liberty, to Penn Hills, and can be found on maps of Pittsburgh. It is not considered to be a good area now, tho. Perhaps others can help more. Regards, Jane

The below list is certainly interesting, Fred or Mac.?! I know it's MAC right! Anyways, does anyone know where in Pgh I might find out about the History of the Sailing Industry? I have a tidbit from my family history saying that My Merriman's were sailors that Leonard sailed from Pgh-New Orleans ( I assume, LA), & trying to learn more! You know, Beaver County used to have a ferry businesses & such in the 1800's, i know, but would the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial in Oakland, be the place to find out about perhaps my relation from Beaver County, even though it's in Allegheny area? Craig/Merrimans are well known I would think in Allegheny as well. Any comments?

--=======67F34844======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-29FE49A9; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Mac, They were........... but that didn't change the number for the 5th Ward............ or, at least, its location. My 2g gf was found living at 807 Penn Ave in the 1860 census. It was in the 9th Ward. By the 1870 census, he was in the 12th Ward but his address didn't change. Well, at least the location didn't change. His house was at 2807 or 2907 Penn Ave (exact address not available. Just pulling figures off the top of my head.) My understanding is that the city annexed all of the property between the 2 rivers out as far as Braddock Ave in 1868 and that was when they renumbered the Wards Those numbers seemed to remain constant until Pgh and Allegheny merged when they were renumbered again and the numbers haven't changed since then. It would have been nice if our forefathers have the prescience to number the wards as they are now but I think that crystal balls were in short supply then and so we have to live with it, no matter the headaches that are caused.
