Harry,
(No. Braddock, Pa.) is North Braddock, Pennsylvania.
North Braddock is now a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
North Braddock is about 8 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
Census records are available for the area.
10 miles farther southwest is the town of Irwin where more Germans  
settled.
See also Beaver Falls north of Pittsburgh.

My maternal grandfather, Rudolph Walter, settled there, North  
Braddock, in 1905.
Many ethnic Germans out of Russian Poland settled there.
My mother was born in North braddock in 1908.
