Greetings: Does any one have any ideas as to where Breedshill St and James St were in 1899-1900. My Rassl family originally settled in the Strip District and then in the Lawrenceville/Bloomfield area. They were Catholic and originally came from Russia/Bohemia-Austria/Czech Republic. I did find a small clue on Leopold who has been a brick wall. JR Jamieson jr@jjamieson.com 412 343 9264 Home of the Steeler Nation

JR: I searched the Hopkins maps at the Historic Pgh site and only got a hit on one map. It shows Breedshill west of and pointing at Allegheny Cemetery in the 19th ward. The next street south is Rosetta and north is Columbus. It ties in to Mathilda on the west.

Breeds Hill (now Hillcrest) Street in Garfield Hope this helps! Historic Pittsburgh has the images of this street back in the early 1900s. http://images.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/i/image/image-idx?&q1=garfield&rgn1=dc_su&type=boolean&xc=1&g=imls&view=thumbnail Several photos there at different intersections There is a mention of a James Street in the South Side of Pittburgh but not sure that is your James Street. > To: paallegh@rootsweb.com > Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2011 17:58:36 -0400 > Subject: [ALL] Pittsburg Streets 1899-1900 > > > Greetings: > > Does any one have any ideas as to where Breedshill St and James St were in 1899-1900. > > My Rassl family originally settled in the Strip District and then in the Lawrenceville/Bloomfield area.

JR, There was a James St. on the North Side that ran from Ohio [in the 23rd Ward] to Fountain [In the 25th Ward] There was also a James St. and Al. in the 11th Ward that was changed to JANERO when Pittsburgh annexed Allegheny City in 1902. Breedshill was in the 10th Ward [from Mathilda] & 11th Ward [to Fairmount] so Janero may be the one you are looking for.
