Hi Chris,
Thanks for writing. My grandmother, Margaret Entinger, had a sister by the name of Barbara, but she was not born until June 1899. I believe that their parents - Mathias and Elizabeth - arrived in the US in 1893. The interesting question then is whether your Barbara is the sister of Mathias (born September 16, 1861 in Germany), which would explain naming his daughter Barbara, or whether she is related to the Westmoreland group of Entingers (head of family; Michael). There may still be a connection between the two families, but I have not yet found it. Do you have any more info on where in the Pittsburgh area your Barbara lived?
