  • The article re St. Paul's R.C. Orphan Asylum has been uploaded along side the ancestral bio of Mary Frances Ryan Norris Kepple in the Orphans' Computer Room, "Orphan Genealogy on the Web: Honoring Orphans".  The article is a transcription of the original which appeared in the Pittsburgh Catholic on Aug 18, 2001, Elizabeth (Betsy) A. Banzen, Donator and Transcriber (Betsy is also the Transcriber of the multiple-page 1910 St. Paul's RC Orphan Asylum listing found in the US Census Room).  A link has also been supplied with the article, at Betsy's insistence, to guide others interested in requesting their ancestors' records from St. Paul's.  Thank you, Betsy for all your hard work and generosity! :)
