  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
  • Re the disambigs: I believe "Pittsburg" should be Pittsburgh (because Schoenberger Steel Company was in Pittsburgh Pa.), and "Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad" should be Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway (1886–1899), which does not yet have an article.

  • Re your Rootsweb reference (currently ref.7): Rootsweb is not authoritative because a lot of its pages are working theories uploaded by individual family historians. Do you have alternative citations? If none are available, may I suggest that you replace the Rootsweb citation with a note to the effect that this is a possible ancestry? If you want to do that: under Notes subheading use {{Reflist|group=nb}}, and for the note itself use {{refn|insert note here|group=nb}} Storye book (talk) 11:03, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
