* Tom Weichmann has additional information about Bundy's Alley
Just wanted to let you know that I had an ancestor that came from Germany
to Bundy's Alley in Buffalo ~1880. I had a very hard time finding the real
street name. You list it here as either Pine or North. Well infact it was
changed before 1900 to North Pine. It is the little sliver of Pine Street
that extends past Sycamore Ave on Buffalo's formally German East Side.
I found this in the Sanborn maps, and the listing of the change in the index.
