Dear Michael; What did you look under for the passenger list on Ellis Island ? I do not know what ship my ggp's came over on just the year.......Are there many ships listed by the year, or do you need to know the ship's name before you can check for the passenger ?

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.

Jane Go to the Ellis Island website. You do not have to know the name of the ship. Just follow the instructions on the website.
