JR Thanks for this information, she is the Rosana that I am searching for. Zip 15221 appears to be in the Wilkinsburg area, am I correct in that assumption? I ask this as her brother was living in the area in 1967 when he died. Seems that there must have been other family members living in the area. I'm trying to get locations for the children of a few cousins so that I can send a research request to the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocesan Archives. They have already told me they need a location before they will attempt anything to save time. Combining the peoplelookup.com site and the SSDI has been a big aid in locating these cousins. I've even been able to track down an adopted daughter of one in Arlington, VA. Even have located 2 of her sons in VA. I had been up against a wall with all these cousins until I came across the peoplelookup.com site. At that site, if, you find someone you are looking for and they have related people, you have it made, all you have to do is verify, but, that is something you have to do anyway. At one site for my son-in-law they have his parents and uncle, his wife, and his daughter and her husband listed as related persons. I had all this before, as an uncle of my s-i-l had researched the family back to the 4 immigrant brothers and the book is in the local library. Thanks again. Have any Maryland ancestors you need looked for, just let me know.
