Hi Bill, >I've only had two passes through the Carnegie Library and hope for many >more. I'm curious, though. You mention seminary libraries. Which ones, and >where are they located?

A million pardons but the books are packed so to come up with the names of these seminaries do a google for seminary presbyterian pittsburgh. > So I can hit them next time I'm down there. You'd do best to make contact before hand so you arrive when they are open. Ie during a session. I know the RP one often closes down when the students are not around. The librarian may be there, unless he went on vacation, and then he can let you in. Which he is more likely to do if he's already figured out you are 'okay'. There are not facilities for helping people who have no library skills. >Also, my son just married a Kelly Gallagher from Pittsburgh on July 30. >Although they live in Cleveland, I'm friends with her folks now, so I maybe >I'll even have a place to stay. :) That's great! And you've given me a great idea for a B&B <grin>. The catalog for the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Library is on line. It is housed in Carnegie Library, so there's two gen libraries in that building, and two collections. It's on something like www.wpgs.org ....if that don't work, google.
