Port Vue is 17km SE of the fork of the Ohio in Pittsburg: both are in Allegheny Co.

I presume you've been searching the US census via:
https://www.familysearch.org/s/collection/list#page=1®ion=NORTH_AMERICA

Thus, you can access the 1900 image (NB the 1890 census was 99.9% destroyed by fire).
You can also access the 1920/30 census via:

http://www.archive.org/details/1920_census
http://www.archive.org/details/1930_census

Note, the last 3 digits of the LDS FHL film # match those of the NARA reel #.
So guess a page, look it up, pick a name on that image, look it up on the LDS site and adjust your guess of the page/image # (the bit after the /n in the URL).

Due to inadequate source info on the LDS record, 1910 is a bit geeky, so here's Ginny's and your 1910 images:
