I was researching my Grandfather, Amandus E. Diethrich in Pennsylvania on Ancestry.com and discovered a City Directory, image p 187, listing his occupation as carpenter and residence as 125 Luna. Even though his surname was misspelled (it was spelled without the middle h) I am certain this is my Grandfather as the misspelling is very common. On top of the image page was "U.S., City Directories, 1822-1995 for Amandus Deithrich" followed by "Pennsylvania > Pittsburgh > 1899 > Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, City Directory, 1899".
