early 20th century business directories
« on: Monday 17 October 05 05:36 BST (UK) »
Hello rootschat world.  ;D
I am looking for a business that my Great-great grandfather Matthew Clancy owned. It was called Clancy's Tavern located in Homewood, Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Is there a site somewhere that I can find listings of old business anywhere?

 Thanks for the help,
       caclancy ;)

Hi caclancy,

Thanks to one of my MySpace musical friends a search party has been organised to scour Pittsburgh to see if they can come up with some further information in answer to your query on your Has anyone heard of Clancy's Tavern in Pittsburgh,PA? thread.
