• Notes

  Email from Robert (Bob) Bruder October 2013 to Elizabeth M Jones: I noticed that Uncle David and his Wife Elizabeth lived in the North side of Pittsburgh at 1321 Warner Street in 1900, 1910 and 1920 and that he came to the USA in 1868.   Uncle David's Son David is not shown in the 1900 census so I am assuming he was married prior to age 23.
