> I'm looking for Ada "Sadie" SMITH. Levi K CRAWFORD's roots, Armstrong and
Westmoreland counties, and Homestead's not so far away. I'd guess it's the
railroad job and access to city resources that settled them in Homestead. I
don't have a clue where Ada is from in PA, and I've searched enough 1870, 80
censuses to go crosseyed: Just about every SMITH household seems to have an
Ada. I don't know how posting in Westmoreland might help, just a hunch.
Anyone out there know of SMITH and KLINGENSMITH or CRAWFORD connections in
this era and area? So often, families are connected in other ways, I had to
ask. Frankly I'll take any clues and suggestions. I do not know exactly when
and where they married, to order a copy.

county because grandmother Ruth and her husband later lived for a while in
Tarentum, 1920s, reinforcing my notion to inquire here.
