My great-grandparents moved every year ca: 1880-1910, sometimes
just to another house on the same block.. My grandmother told me that
they rented the houses. As the family grew they just moved to a bigger
place.

Original message:

Does anyone have any feelings about why their immigrant families moved about
so much in Philadelphia? I had heard that many people could not make their
rent and so they were forced to move.

All that moving has made it difficult for me to locate one of my great
grandparents. Sandy
