One family shaped a city. Their story unfolds alongside the transformation of a frontier outpost into a bustling industrial centre. In A Short Account of the Family of Ormsby of Pittsburgh, descendant Oliver Ormsby Page traces the Ormsby family lineage from its colonial roots into the nineteenth century, setting individual lives against the wider currents of early Pittsburgh settlement and western Pennsylvania history. Names, dates and relationships are woven together with glimpses of land, work and public service, forming a concise genealogical history book that doubles as a vivid fragment of American family history and Pittsburgh local history. As one of the notable Pittsburgh pioneer families, the Ormsbys stand at the crossroads of early Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, commerce, landholding and civic life, making this compact volume a valuable genealogy reference for researchers and a rewarding discovery for Pittsburgh history buffs exploring American colonial genealogy and 19th century Pennsylvania history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Carefully reproduced from the historic original, it offers classic-literature collectors, local historians and family-history enthusiasts an authentic window into early Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the lineage that helped to shape it.
