Hello folks. I just joined these forums. This month celebrates the 100th anniversary of my grandmother and great-grandmother from Lithuania. I have found the record of their arrival on the SS Samland at Ellis Island on May 15th. On the manifest I have found that they were going to 210 Orchard Street in Pittsburgh. My great aunt and uncle were living there with more family at 40 Orchard Street, still Pittsburgh. My question is, which Orchard Street are we looking at? GoogleEarth has 4 in Pittsburgh, but what did Pittsburgh look like 100 years ago? I am thinking the Woodland Hills area is my last choice as it is sort of east of the city. If I look at the 1910 census, the family was in the Stafford - Stadium - Adena area of Ward 20. ( Other family members (their cousins) were on Western Avenue in Ward 21. ) Most of the family worked in the Coal and Steel factories with my grandfather later working for the Railroad. The family was Lithuanian. This information might help identify the social level they lived at. Unfortunately no one is alive today who knows this information. Michel

There is an Orchard Street in McKees Rocks ...in an area called Preston....which was primarily Eastern immigrants who worked for Pressed Steel Railroad Car company. Of course "Orchard" could be a pretty common name for a street....sorta like "River Road", etc. Barbara - Uprooting family trees and/or Capt. Bill

Hi I just read your email. I have not been on the computer for a couple of months and am going through my email. I used to live at 334 Orchard Place. I looked at the Allegheny County Real Estate and could not find 210.
