The family was from Brownsville originally I believe. My Great-grandmother and the other children died in a flu outbreak and Great-grandfather couldn't take care of the other 2 boys. I found them on the 1900 census in the home but the orphanage was open from 1861-1969. http://www.carnegielibrary.org/research/pittsburgh/history/orphanages/PAH.html Good luck, Gloria Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
