Does anyone have any clues to what the cost of travelling from, say Philadelphia to Pittsburgh would be, and how that price compares to today's dollar value ? Just wondering how many would be able to afford rail travel. When we consider the number who traveled by train it must have been reasonably affordable.

My ancestors traveled in the opposite direction from the norm...they moved their whole family east, from Cincinnati, Ohio to Pittsburgh (Allegheny City) in 1890. Am I correct in thinking they most likely traveled by boat over the Ohio River? Any thoughts? Ray

I don't think I can help you much on your quest, but I do know that the Carnegie Library,( 4400 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, 15213) photographic collection might be interested in copies of your photos. They are trying to maintain photos of old Pittsburgh and area and the only way they can expand their collection is by people donating photos or copies of landmarks, etc. They have quite a nice collection that people can browse or you can inquire about. They have pictures of churches, buildings, bridges, stores, streets... each one of which may include something of your family if they lived nearby or went to that church or school. Genealogists love to collect things about our families, but we can also give at times too. -- Elissa On Fri, 28 Dec 2001 10:26:28 -0500 "Paula Murphy" <pjdm4@erols.com> writes: > I recently came across a bunch of souvenir photos of my parents taken > at > nightclubs in Pittsburgh.
